Showtime releases the new Billions trailer
Today, Showtime unveiled the official new trailer for its powerful new drama series “Billions,” premiering on Sunday, January 17th at 10 p.m. ET/PT on-air, On Demand and over the internet. Check it out below!
Starring Oscar nominee and Emmy and Golden Globe winner Paul Giamatti (“John Adams,” Straight Outta Compton) and Emmy and Golden Globe winner Damian Lewis (“Homeland”), “Billions” is a 21st-century examination of the profit and peril of chasing the American dream. “Billions” is written and executive produced by Brian Koppelman and David Levien (Ocean’s Thirteen, Rounders), and Andrew Ross Sorkin (Too Big To Fail). The series is currently in production in New York for 12 one-hour episodes.
“Billions” is a bold, contemporary drama that melds the worlds of ultra-wealth, influence and corruption as personified in two highly ambitious opposing figures: hard-charging, blue-blooded, politically connected U.S. Attorney Chuck Rhoades (Giamatti) and brilliant, calculating, blue-collar billionaire hedge fund king, Bobby “Axe” Axelrod (Lewis). Set amongst the Machiavellian machinations of New York City power politics and finance, “Billions” weaves a complex, intricate narrative featuring a high-stakes game of predator-versus-prey.
Maggie Siff, Malin Akerman, Toby Leonard Moore, David Costabile and Condola Rashad also star. The pilot was directed by acclaimed director Neil Burger (The Illusionist, Divergent), who also serves as an executive producer.
