Showtime‘s “Billions” is back with all-new episodes. Bobby Axelrod and Chuck Rhodes have been unscrupulous adversaries and underhanded allies. Still, nothing has prepared them for the ruthless machinations of billionaire Mike Prince, who’ll use everything – and everyone – at his disposal to come out on top. As alliances get ripped apart, and new enemies rise, everyone gets roped into the conflict, and consequences be damned.

“Billions” is created and executive produced by showrunners Brian Koppelman and David Levien. Andrew Ross Sorkin also created the series.
On the recent Brian Koppelman podcast, filmmaker Quentin Tarantino said he’s a huge fan of “Billions,” and that’s a good endorsement. It could explain why British actor Damian Lewis plays Steve McQueen in “Once Upon A Time In Hollywood.”
