Release date
The fourth season of ‘Billions’ will premiere at 9 pm EST on Sunday, March 17 on Showtime. The season has 12 episodes.
Plot
Rhoades and Axelrod have a lot in common when they return for the fourth season of Showtime’s ‘Billions’ next week. The longtime adversaries and Wendy Rhoades, the chief counselor to each, come together to form an uneasy but highly effective alliance, aimed at the eradication of all their rivals, including Grigor Andolov, Taylor Mason, Bryan Connerty and Waylon “Jock” Jeffcoat. What this alliance doesn’t realize is that for the first time ever, they will be outsmarted and things won’t be as easy as they think.
Cast
Damian Lewis as Axelrod
He’s not just cocky, he also knows literally everything that’s happening in the money world – smart, deductive and someone who can probably convince you where your money needs to be, even if you think otherwise very strongly, Damian Lewis’ Axelrod is one of the central characters on the show.
Lewis has starred in two highly successful shows on television before ‘Billions’ – one being HBO’s ‘Band of Brothers’, in which he played US Army Major Richard Winters which earned him a Golden Globe nomination, and second, in Showtime’s ‘Homeland’ where he portrayed the role of US Marine Sergeant Nicholas Brody. He’s an English actor who has won a Primetime Emmy Award and a Golden Globe for ‘Homeland’.
Paul Giamatti as Rhoades
Giamatti is a comedian and producer, apart from being a kickass actor that he is on ‘Billions’. He’s best known for his titular role in HBO’s 2008 series ‘John Adams’, which made him a Golden Globe Awardee, a Primetime Emmy Award winner and Screen Actors Guild Award winner. His character on ‘Billions’ is that of a extremely efficient, razor sharp lawyer, who knows exactly what strings to pull to get what he wants.
Who created it?Â
Brian Koppelman, David Levien, and Andrew Ross Sorkin are the brains behind this thrilling series. Koppelman and Levien are the co-writers of ‘Ocean’s Thirteen’ and ‘Rounders’ and the producers for films like ‘The Illusionist’ and ‘The Lucky Ones’.

TrailerÂ
“The world has split up and you’ve gotta pick sides” is the mood for the upcoming season filled with Axe/Rhoades partnership that no one seems to know about. There’s revenge, there’s ambition and there’s a whole lot of hell that someone needs to pay for – sounds fun right? No more are we still bickering over who gets the cake, there’s people out there who may just leave these two with nothing.
