What’s This TV Show About?

A Showtime finance and legal drama, Billions stars Paul Giamatti as Chuck Rhoades, Damian Lewis as Bobby Axelrod, and Maggie Siff as Wendy Rhoades. The cast also includes Toby Leonard Moore, Asia Kate Dillon, David Costabile, Condola Rashad, Kelly AuCoin, Jeffrey DeMunn, and Malin Akerman. John Malkovich, Clancy Brown, Samantha Mathis, Kevin Pollak, Jade Eshete and Nina Ariandal are among the guest stars this time around.

In Billions, season four, Chuck, Bobby, and Wendy have formed an uneasy alliance, in order to wipe out their rivals. Meanwhile, the cost of brazen ambition and betrayal is becoming more clear. Showtime says, “When everyone is out for revenge, no one is safe.”
