Billions Renewed by Showtime for Season Three

NEW YORK: Showtime has ordered a third season of the drama series Billions.

Billions delivered the network’s biggest sophomore debut since Homeland. The series stars Paul Giamatti and Damian Lewis and airs Sundays on Showtime.

“Billions continues to be a show on the rise, growing not only in audience but in critical buzz and cultural relevance,” said David Nevins, the president and CEO of Showtime Networks. “It offers a unique mix of pure entertainment with sly commentary on our current have/have-not economy. Season two is off to a tremendous start, and has only whetted our audience’s appetite for what will come in season three.”
