'Billions' Season 7: Release Date and How to Watch From Anywhere - CNET
If you’ve been riding with Showtime’s Billions since its debut in 2016, get ready to bid the series farewell this year. Season 7 marks the show’s final installment, but Damian Lewis will return as fan-favorite character Bobby “Axe” Axelrod.
The last time viewers saw Axe, he took off for Switzerland to avoid facing legal problems, leaving another rich guy to ascend in his stead. Season 6 of Billions had Paul Giamatti’s Chuck Rhoades squaring off against Prince (Corey Stoll) over a sophisticated crypto tax evasion operation. Prince thinks that he’s free to get back to billion-dollar scheming due to Chuck being put in handcuffs for his illegal investigation tactics. But as the finale showed, Chuck is not out of the game.
According to Showtime, the saga continues and this time “alliances are turned on their heads. Old wounds are weaponized. Loyalties are tested. Betrayal takes on epic proportions. Enemies become wary friends.” Tune in to find out how things shake out for Chuck, Axe, Kate, Dave and Prince when the series returns, and be sure to keep up with release dates for the multiple spinoffs.
Read on to see where and when to watch Billions season 7, no matter where you are in the world.
