Billions had already been renewed with its sixth season. Recently, it returned with the second part of the fifth season, which was delayed due to the pandemic-related production halt. It expanded upon the struggle between Lewis' Axelrod, Giamatti's Chuck Rhodes and a newcomer portrayed by Corey Stoll. His character will become much more prominant, seeing as he has been promoted to a regular cast member.
What an incredible joy to spend five years working so closely with the great x-on:lewis_damian ! x-on:DavidLevien and I are beyond grateful to you, Damian, for the work, of course, and the fellowship, and for all you sacrificed to come do this with us.
