The Showtime series Billions has been renewed for a sixth season and there is some exciting casting news to share!
Corey Stoll, who was a guest star in season five, has been promoted to a series regular for the upcoming season. He plays Mike Prince, “a social impact pioneer who poses a threat to Damian Lewis’ Axe’s dominance,” according to Deadline.
The fifth season of the series was interrupted due to COVID-19 and only seven out of the season’s 12 episodes were completed. Those episodes aired in May and June and the network hopes that the remaining five episodes will air in 2021, followed by the sixth season.
It is believed that the show will film the end of season five and the sixth season back-to-back.
Damian Lewis and Paul Giamatti star in the award-winning series.
The 53-year-old The Good Wife actress is set to guest star in multiple episodes of the fifth season of Billions, premiering on Sunday, May 3 at 9 pm ET/PT.
The fifth season cast of Billions also includes a recurring guest role from House of Cards star Corey Stoll.
In season five of Billions, Bobby Axelrod (Damien Lewis) and Chuck Rhoades (Paul Giamatti) see their vicious rivalry reignited, while new enemies rise and take aim. Social impact pioneer Mike Prince (Stoll) poses a true threat to Axe’s dominance, and Chuck feuds with a formidable district attorney (Roma Maffia). Taylor Mason (Asia Kate Dillon) is forced back to Axe Capital, where Taylor must fight to protect their employees and their assets. Wendy Rhoades (Maggie Siff) reevaluates her loyalties and forges surprising new alliances that put her at odds with both Chuck and Axe. This season, the struggle for power becomes a struggle for survival, and all characters must adapt or risk extinction.

Lily travels from London, England to the Amazon jungle and enlists Frank’s questionable services to guide her downriver on La Quila—his ramshackle-but-charming boat.”
It continues, “Lily is determined to uncover an ancient tree with unparalleled healing abilities—possessing the power to change the future of medicine. Thrust on this epic quest together, the unlikely duo encounters innumerable dangers and supernatural forces, all lurking in the deceptive beauty of the lush rainforest. But as the secrets of the lost tree unfold, the stakes reach even higher for Lily and Frank and their fate—and mankind’s—hangs in the balance.”

Here’s a plot summary for the new season: Bobby Axelrod (Lewis) and Chuck Rhoades (Giamatti), former enemies, and Wendy Rhoades (Maggie Siff), the chief counselor to each, have come together to form an uneasy but highly effective alliance, aimed at the eradication of all their rivals, including Grigor Andolov (guest star John Malkovich), Taylor Mason (Asia Kate Dillon), Bryan Connerty (Toby Leonard Moore) and Waylon “Jock” Jeffcoat (guest star Clancy Brown). Ambition and betrayal have long been at the heart of Billions, and this season all the characters find out exactly how high a price they’ll have to pay to satisfy those needs.
