Starring Paul Giamatti, Corey Stoll, Maggie Siff, David Costabile, Asia Kate Dillon, Condola Rashad, Jeffrey DeMunn and Daniel Breaker, the series follows the world of NYC high finance.
The series' story initially focused on hedge fund manager Bobby Axelrod (Damian Lewis) and his nemesis, United States Attorney Chuck Rhoades (Giamatti). Lewis left the series after five seasons, but it has been revealed that he will return for half of the upcoming season.
Showtime has released additional details in the press release below:
"Showtime has announced that critically acclaimed drama series Billions returns for its seventh and final season streaming Friday, August 11 on Paramount+ with Showtime before making its debut Sunday, August 13 at 8 p.m. on Showtime. Starring Oscar nominee and Emmy winner Paul Giamatti, Corey Stoll and Maggie Siff, the 12-episode final season also sees the return of Emmy winner Damian Lewis as fan favorite Bobby "Axe" Axelrod.
“Billions has deftly explored power, money and greed in a way that not only made it a massive hit, but also defined its own genre thanks to the creative brain trust of Brian and David,” said Chris McCarthy, President & CEO, Showtime/MTV Entertainment Studios and Paramount Media Networks. “This final season is packed full of the incredible, complex dialogue and character dynamics fans have come to love, and we are thrilled to partner with them on turning this hit series into a global franchise.”
In season seven, alliances are turned upside down. Old wounds are weaponized. Loyalties are tested. Betrayal takes on epic proportions. Enemies become wary friends. And Bobby Axelrod returns, as the stakes grow from Wall Street to the world. Billions also stars David Costabile, Asia Kate Dillon, Dola Rashad, Jeffrey DeMunn, Sakina Jaffrey, Daniel Breaker and Toney Goins.
Since its premiere in 2016, Billions has been one of the most-watched series on Showtime year after year. As previously announced, Showtime is expanding the Billions universe with several projects in development, all produced by Billions showrunners Brian Koppelman and David Levien, who have established their own acclaimed brand of driving storytelling and articulately incorrigible characters. Paul Schiff will also produce the new projects in this franchise.
Billions was created and produced by Koppelman and Levien (Super Pumped). Beth Schacter is also a showrunner and executive producer. The series was also created by Andrew Ross Sorkin. All previous seasons of Billions are available to subscribers on Paramount+ with Showtime.
