Season 7 of Billion sees the return of Axe after he was absent from the show in season 6, exiled to Switzerland to avoid prosecution. It was also a convenient excuse for Damian Lewis to step away from Billions as the actor wanted to spend more time with his family in England. However, he’s back in season 7, and with the help of former adversary Chuck Rhoades (Paul Giamatti), takes down Mike Prince (Corey Stoll), once again resuming possession of his fund. It’s an enjoyable and complete ending to the show that leaves the door open for spinoffs.
Showrunner Confirms Billions Season 8 Isn’t Happening
The Creators Say The Story Is Completed
Brian Koppelman, David Levien, and Andrew Ross Sorkin created Billions and served as showrunners. In an interview with the 92nd Street Y, Koppelman, Levien, and Beth Schacter, who came on as a showrunner in season 5, discussed the series and their thoughts on the final season. When asked about season 8, Koppelman said:
“But Showtime, I’ll say… We’re done now, there’s no reason to, Showtime’s been incredibly supportive the entire time of the show, and right now, the support we’ve had has been great.”
Both the creators and studio appear to be happy with how the series ended, and Axe’s story appears to be good and over now.
