With Michael Prince potentially caught in the crosshairs, the nail-biting Showtime drama returned for its seventh— and final — season on August 11. Billions series co-creators Brian Koppelman, David Levien and Andrew Ross Sorkin have drawn inspiration from Steve A. Cohen, Elon Musk and other famous billionaires to create their powerful and morally bankrupt cast of characters. Since the series premiere in 2016, audiences have followed former US attorney Chuck Rhoades (Paul Giamatti) in his quest to bring these self-serving titans of industry to justice.
Most of the cast is back for season seven including leads Giamatti and Corey Stoll as rival Mike Prince, as well as other regulars including Wendy Rhoade (Maggie Siff) and Mike Wagner (David Costabile). Asia Kate Dillon is also back asTaylor, in addition to Condola Rashad as Kate Sacker and Jeffrey DeMunn as Chuck Rhoades Sr.

The biggest news going into the final season though is Damian Lewis returning as fan-favorite hedge-fund billionaire Bobby “Axe”Axelrod. The actor broke the news that he’d be reviving his role onBillions for season seven during a recent episode ofLate Show With Stephen Colbert. “Axe is back,” he announced. “And it’s exciting. He’s not been around for a couple seasons but he’s back.”
To catch you up on the drama going into this season, in Season 5, hedge-fund billionaireAxelrod was forced to hand over Axe Capital to his longtime rival Mike Prince. He fled to Switzerland before Chuck had him arrested for a black-market banking deal. Season 6 saw a shift in the series, pitting Rhoades against Prince as the new head of Axe Capital and the former attorney’s newest foe. Now working with DA Daevisha “Dave” (Sakina Jaffrey), Rhoades has the opportunity to get Prince once and for all on tax fraud in the (say it with me now) billions.
Leading up to this latest installment, and potentially throwing a wrench in the plan, Damien Lewis has returned to the series as business giant “Axe”. “But you can’t escape your enemies,” he says in the Season 7 trailer. “Because I’m back now. And I’m wide awake.” Yikes.
We’ll hopefully get all our questions answered as we head into the final moments of the series. If you don’t have cable, we’ve got your guide on how to watch Billions Season 7 online now.
