Billions is barreling toward its series finale.
Showtime revealed on Thursday that the 12-episode seventh season will drop solely on Paramount+ with Showtime on Aug. 11, followed by a broadcast on Showtime two days later Sunday. Emmy winner Damian Lewis, who plays Bobby “Axe” Axelrod, will return for the final season, rejoining Paul Giamatti, Corey Stoll and Maggie Siff.
The series, helmed by showrunners Brian Koppelman and David Levien, premiered in January 2016 and approached checking out power characteristics and conflicts between the world of high financing and the law. Showtime is now broadening the Billions universe with numerous projects in development.
” Billions has deftly explored power, money and greed in such a way that not just made it an enormous hit, however also defined its own genre thanks to the innovative brain trust of Brian and David,” said Chris McCarthy, President & CEO, Showtime/MTV Entertainment Studios and Paramount Media Network, in a declaration.

Just weeks before the season 5 premiere, Lewis faced individual tragedy when his better half Helen McCrory died of cancer on April 16, 2021.
” Thank you @SHO_Billions thank you @briankoppelman @DavidLevien,” Lewis tweeted after his last season 5 episode.
” A satisfaction and an advantage to play Axe for 5 seasons with some of the smartest, funniest most skilled cast and team I’ve dealt with. I’ll miss the Billions household. Yep, some tasks are more than simply a job … Love.”
When Axelrod was last seen in season 5, he had accepted a more peaceful presence in Europe after relinquishing his fortune, distancing himself from financing and illicit activities that consumed his American presence.
Prior to Billions returns Aug. 11 on Paramount+ and Aug. 13 on Showtime, seasons 1– 6 can be streamed on Paramount+ and Showtime’s streaming apps.
