Latest Billions Stories

Missing Yellowstone? These shows and movies should hold you over.

Cable TV is a competitive game, and Showtime has a series that seems to be a winner. The network has officially ordered another season of Billions.

Now that most TV programs are back from winter hiatus, we’re getting far closer to the time that the various networks across the board are making decisions about whether or not TV programs will be coming back next year.

One of Showtime’s newest television series has already seriously impressed the network. Billions, which only had its official premiere on January 17, has already received a second season pickup from Showtime.

Rich and powerful are two words that are often used together, but the truth is the adjectives don’t always come in equal measures. Billions is a good reminder of that. Damn near every character on the show has far more money than the average person and far more influence too, but none of the central personalities found here are able to eclipse the others on both.

There’s quite a variety of new shows already scheduled for the roster in 2016, and so television enthusiasts will have plenty to choose from in the quest to replace any clunkers from fall premiere season. Here is a look at ten of the new series to hit the small screen in 2016 that we’re most excited about.

Damian Lewis’ time on Homeland may be over, but the actor is headed back to television very soon. This time around, he’s sticking with Showtime for the drama Billions, starring opposite Paul Giamatti.

The upcoming Showtime project Billions aims to give audiences the inside baseball approach to high finance, and the show is bringing in a Sons of Anarchy star to join Paul Giamatti and Damian Lewis.

Subscription cable networks like HBO and Starz have been busy building their respective lineups over the last several months, but Showtime has been a little more silent on the new show front. All of that changed this week when the pay channel began developing a new drama project called Billions, signing on for a pilot based on a script from Andrew Ross Sorkin, Btian Koppelman and David Levien.
