Trailer for ‘Billions’ Season 7

-

Yet another big show is headed for the TV sunset. Following six seasons of dodgy dealings, criminal investigations and snark, ‘Billions’ will return for its seventh –– and final –– season and has put a new trailer online, which you can watch above.

For fans of the show, it’s a look at the big final showdown for the characters.

Damian Lewis is back as Axe

The biggest surprise for ‘Billions’ fans before the new season began was word that Damian Lewis, who played main character Bobby “Axe” Axelrod.

Lewis left the show at the end of Season 5, primarily to spend more time with his family in the UK, especially since the death of his wife Helen McCrory from breast cancer in 2021. He maintained a busy schedule shuttling between Britain and New York to film the show.

He’ll be appearing in six of the final 12 episodes.

What is ‘Billions’ basic concept?

Wealth, influence and corruption collide in New York. Shrewd U.S. attorney Chuck Rhoades (Paul Giamatti) is embroiled in a high-stakes game of predator vs. prey with Axelrod, an ambitious hedge-fund king. To date, Rhoades has never lost an insider trading case –– he’s 81-0 –– but when criminal evidence turns up against Axelrod, he proceeds cautiously in building the case against Axelrod, who employs Rhoades’ wife, psychiatrist Wendy (Maggie Siff), as a performance coach for his company. Wendy, who has been in her position longer than Chuck has been in his, refuses to give up her career for her husband’s legal crusade against Axelrod. Both men use their intelligence, power and influence to outmaneuver the other in this battle over billions.

More recently, the story has switched to be between Rhoades and Axe’s ambitious rival, Michael Prince (played by Corey Stoll) who is on the campaign trail as he sets his sights on the White House, with estranged wife Andy (Piper Perabo) in tow.

The future?

If you’re getting worried about withdrawal symptoms because of the end of the show, rest assured that though ‘Billions’ itself will be going away, plans are afoot for more than one spin-off.

We know of two with titles so far, ‘Millions’ and ‘Trillions’. The former is said to be a spin-off focusing on young, up-and-coming figures in the world of finance, while the latter is said to adopt more of a soap-like tone, with mega-rich central characters. Two further projects are reportedly in development, with one being set in Miami, with another set in London.

The seventh and final season of ‘Billions’ will premiere August 11th on Paramount+ with Showtime and will air on Showtime on August 13.
