Billions Renewed For Season 4 On Showtime

Billions is coming back. 

As announced by Deadline, Showtime has renewed its Paul Giamatti and Damian Lewis-starring series Billions for a fourth season. 

On top of the pick-up news, the network confirmed that Billions will air an hour earlier, shifting from its current airtime of Sundays at 10 PM ET to Sundays at 9 PM ET. The change will kick in next Sunday, May 6 in order for the series to act as the lead-in for the season two premiere of I'm Dying Up Here. Billions will now anchor Showtime's Sunday night slate.

Created and executive produced by showrunners Brian Koppelman, David Levien, and Andrew Ross Sorkin, Billions debuted its season three premiere on March 25, and the episode soon became its highest-rated installment to date. The series ranks just behind Homeland, Showtime's top drama series, so it's easy to see why the network would want to keep it alive for as long as possible. 

"Billions continues to build its audience as it explores the heights of power and wealth even as it plumbs the depths of the human psyche," Gary Levine, President of Programming, Showtime Networks said in light of the renewal news. "Brian and David are gifted, propulsive storytellers and we can't wait to see where they and their extraordinary cast will take us in season four."

Billions stars Paul Giamatti as Charles "Chuck" Rhoades Jr., Damian Lewis as Robert "Bobby" Axelrod, Maggie Siff as Wendy Rhoades, Malin Åkerman as Lara Axelrod, Toby Leonard Moore as Bryan Connerty, David Costabile as Mike "Wags" Wagner, Kelly Aucoin as "Dollar" Bill Stern, Condola Rashād as Kate Sacker, Asia Kate Dillon as Taylor Amber Mason, and Jeffrey DeMunn as Charles Rhoades Sr.

Season 3 of the series centers on Chuck and Bobby living in disarray. Though both are still bent on taking each other down, they now must fight to survive bigger, badder enemies and dangerous new threats. Where will season 4 go from there? We'll have to wait and see.
