Starring Oscar nominee and Emmy and Golden Globe winner Paul Giamatti (“John Adams”) 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. Maggie Siff, Malin Akerman, Toby Leonard Moore, David Costabile and Condola Rashad also star.

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.

The pilot was directed by acclaimed director Neil Burger (The Illusionist, Divergent), who also serves as an executive producer.

Billions is written and executive produced by Brian Koppelman and David Levien (Ocean’s ThirteenRounders), and Andrew Ross Sorkin (Too Big To Fail). The series is currently in production in New York for 12 one-hour episodes.
