After an interesting Season 6, fans await Season 7 and now a cast member from the show has finally revealed that this would be the final season. During his appearance on Football Night (NBC Sports Chicago), Dan Soder revealed that Season 7 will be the final one for the Showtime drama. The series tells the tale of Bobby Axelrod, played by Damian Lewis, a hedge fund manager who accumulates power and wealth in a high finance world.

However, his attempt at wealth and power doesn’t always come from legal means. His aggressive tactics that help him bag high returns tends to be illegal, something which Chuck Rhoades, a US attorney, wishes to prosecute. Certain aspects of the plotlines mirror several real-life financial crime prosecutions by top-ranking federal authorities. A big part of the series is inspired by several investigations by Preet Bharara, an attorney for New York Southern District in Manhattan between 2009 and 2017. The character Rhoades is based on Preet.

While the main character, Lewis, left the show after Season 5, he will be returning for the first half of Season 7. Although fans won’t have more of Billions after Season 7, the saga isn’t really ending anytime soon. As per reports, Showtime is currently working on not one or two but four spin-offs for the show.
