Billions is an American television drama series created by Brian Koppelman, David Levien, and Andrew Ross Sorkin, starring Paul Giamatti and Damian Lewis, that premiered on Showtime on January 17, 2016. The series is loosely based on the activities of Preet Bharara, the former U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York,[1][2] and his legal battles with hedge fund manager Steve Cohen of S.A.C. Capital Advisors.[3] In Season 2, it also incorporates loosely the cases involving Treasury bond auction market manipulation conduct of Salomon Brothers, including the roles of CEO John Gutfreund and bond trader Paul Mozer, in 1991.

The second season premiered on February 19, 2017. Showtime renewed the series for a third season,[4] which premiered on March 25, 2018.[5] On April 26, 2018, Showtime renewed the series for a fourth season.[6]

Cast

Main

  • Paul Giamatti as Charles "Chuck" Rhoades, Jr.: U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York. Rhoades is ruthless and has a particular distaste for wealthy criminals who try to buy their way out of justice. Despite his significant power as U.S. Attorney, Rhoades struggles not to be overshadowed both by his higher-earning wife, Wendy, and by his well-connected and very rich father. He went to Yale (as did Giamatti and his father) and has a blind trust of which his father is a trustee. In private, he and his wife engage in BDSM role play, with Chuck as Wendy's "slave". The character is loosely based on Eliot Spitzer and Preet Bharara.
  • Damian Lewis as Robert "Bobby" Axelrod: an ambitious billionaire manager of a hedge fund called Axe Capital and a Hofstra University graduate who came from humble beginnings. He was one of the survivors of the September 11 attacks and pays the college tuition of the children of his colleagues who died in the World Trade Center. He is extremely charitable and generous in public, but uses insider trading and bribery to grow his firm's enormous wealth. The character is loosely based on Steve Cohen and his former hedge fund SAC.
  • Maggie Siff as Wendy Rhoades, M.D: a psychiatrist, in-house performance coach at Axe Capital and wife of Chuck Rhoades, Jr. She is self-possessed, motivated, and extremely successful. She has a strong relationship with Axelrod, her boss, with whom she has been working for more than 15 years.
  • Malin Åkerman as Lara Axelrod: wife of Bobby Axelrod and a former nurse (who maintains her professional license). She is from a lower-class, blue-collar upbringing but has left her former self behind. She is devoted to her husband and their children. Her brother Dean was a firefighter who died during the 9/11 attacks. Lara strongly dislikes Axe's close relationship with Wendy.
  • Toby Leonard Moore as Bryan Connerty: the Chief of the Securities and Commodities Fraud Task Force for the Southern District of New York and Rhoades' point man.
  • David Costabile as Mike "Wags" Wagner: COO of Axe Capital and Axelrod's right-hand man.[7]
  • Kelly AuCoin as “Dollar” Bill Stern
  • Condola Rashād as Kate Sacker, an Assistant United States Attorney in the Southern District of New York.
  • Asia Kate Dillon as Taylor Amber Mason (recurring season 2, starring season 3): a non-binary analyst at Axe Capital, who becomes close to Axe and is appointed CIO of Axe Capital, widely considered to be the first non-binary character on mainstream North American television.
  • Jeffrey DeMunn as Charles Rhoades, Sr.: Chuck's father, a very wealthy and well-connected city power player who often uses his position to meddle in his son's affairs.[8][9][10]
