Billions Season 3: Here’s Everything We Know.

Billions has quietly developed a devoted following over the course of its two seasons on Showtime.  There’s something to be said for quality, and the increasingly vocal Billions fans has helped with the show’s success.

Bobby Axelrod, played by Damian Lewis, is the kind of guy who can’t lead a “normal” life. But that’s exactly what he’ll have to try to do in Billions Season 3. This season will detail Axe’s struggle to regain his livelihood and his financial empire. Easier said than done.

As reported by Deadline, Brian Koppelman divulged, “By the 3rd episode of this season it’s pretty clear that he’s not going to accept that that’s his modern life. He’s going to work really hard to change that. We just wanted to take a superhero in a way and put them in a box for which it’s hard for them to escape.”

“We had these characters that are super powerful within their worlds,” executive producer David Levien said at the TCA press tour. “It’s fascinating to us to put them in situations where they become vulnerable or less powerful. It’s a changing landscape. The question is how will Axe react?”

Not well, one would assume. Will Axe find a way back? Here’s what Damian says about that:

“People go down on this show but they get back up pretty quick,” Damian Lewis said. “That buoyancy is what makes it so exciting to watch… He has a lieutenant now and they are the avatar of everything that he likes and believes in. He will find a way to come back.”

According to Showtime, Axe and Chuck will also “battle for their own survival amid new forces and powerful enemies.”

Damian Lewis and Malin Akerman hung around the DJ table at the Showtime Golden Globes Party at the Sunset Tower in Los Angeles, CA Saturday night. We know Damian loves to dance, sing, play piano and anything musically related, and if this photo is any indication, we just may see a DJ Damian in our future. Well, we can speculate.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Showtime CEO David Nevins exclaimed, “Party your asses off!”  The cast of Billions did not need to be told twice. Asia Kate Dillon, wearing a Billions T-shirt, danced by the bar.  Damian and Malin Akerman carved out a little dance floor to get down to Cheryl Lynn’s “Got to Be Real.”

Showtime CEO David Nevins and Gary Levine, president of programming, were popular throughout the night, and rightfully so, as they celebrated their Golden Globe nominees including William H. Macy, Kyle MacLachlan, Frankie Shaw, and Liev Schreiber. Nevins gave a birthday toast to Julie Chen, who was on hand with husband CBS Corp. CEO Leslie Moonves, who were making the rounds before heading out to a birthday dinner. Also on the scene were the cast of “Billions,” including stars Damian Lewis, Paul Giamatti and Malin Akerman, as well as Stephen Colbert, Lena Waithe, Paula Malcomson, and Jason Mitchell.

Showtime Billions at TCA18 

by JaniaJania – Fan Fun with Damian Lewis – January 6, 2018

It’s been a long winter, but now that Billions has announced a return date of March 25 for Season 3, bluier skies may be ahead. On Saturday, showrunners and stars graced the stage for this year’s Television Critics Association winter press tour, where they dropped the first promo and got the buzz up and running for the new season.

The party got started in some fun Facebook live sessions. These short interviews were great at revealing actors’ insights into the characters they play as well as some fun behind the scenes bits.

First was Asia Kate Dillon. As we’ve seen, Taylor has been playing an increasing bigger role since first appearing on canvas. Last season, Axe promoted Taylor to CIO. It looks like this season their role may be even more significant.

Billions co-creators and EPs Brian Koppelman and David Levien, along with stars Paul Giamatti, Damian Lewis, Maggie Siff, Malin Akerman, and Asia Kate Dillon, were on hand the TCA winter press tour and offered some details on 3rd season.

The upcoming run, which will premiere March 25, finds Bobby Axelrod (Lewis) plight to restore his livelihood.

“That was a box that we wanted to put the character in. We had these characters that are super powerful within their worlds,” said Levien. It’s fascinating to us to put them in situations where they become vulnerable or less powerful. It’s a changing landscape. The question is how will Axel react?”

“By the 3rd episode of this season it’s pretty clear that he’s not going to accept that that’s his modern life,” expounded Koppelman. “He’s going to work really hard to change that. We just wanted to take a superhero in a way and put them in a box for which it’s hard for them to escape.”

The said box, however, may not be as hard to break-free. “People go down on this show but they get back up pretty quick,” Lewis teased. “That buoyancy is what makes it so exciting to watch… He has a lieutenant now and they are the avatar of everything that he likes and believes in. He will find a way to come back.”

Siff’s also shared that her character Wendy, continues her complicated relationship with estranged husband Chuck’s and Axe. Said Siff: “The season resumes and she’s back between these two men but in her mind in a very different way and on different terms.”
