Showtime has renewed financial drama Billions for a third season, just a month after the debut of season two which opens to solid numbers. The show, which is led by Damian Lewis and Paul Giamatti, is aired on Sky Atlantic in the UK.
Deadline broke news of the third season’s ordering. Billions revolves around Lewis’ billionaire hedge-funder Bobby Axelrod and Giamatti’s U.S. Attorney Chuck Rhoades
“Billions continues to be a show on the rise, growing not only in audience, but in critical buzz and cultural relevance,” said Showtime’s David Nevins. “It offers a unique mix of pure entertainment with sly commentary on our current have/have-not economy. Season 2 is off to a tremendous start, and has only whetted our audience’s appetite for what will come in Season 3.”
It is thought that season three will air in early 2018 with shooting taking place later in 2017.
