Showtime has given us one of its biggest hits with the acclaimed drama Billions and there’s more on the way! In addition to plotting the seventh season of this series, its co-creators Brian Koppelman and David Levien are currently developing four potential spinoffs.
Chris McCarthy, the Paramount Global executive who took the reins of Showtime last year, discussed his future plans for the network in a recent interview with The Wall Street Journal. He revealed they’re considering adopting the Yellowstone-style franchise model with several of their hit shows, including Dexter and Billions.
Billions has been airing on Showtime since 2016, and it follows the rise of hedge fund manager Bobby Axelrod (Damian Lewis), as he paves his way in the world of high finance, using aggressive tactics to accumulate wealth and power.
Damian Lewis led the series for the first five seasons, before passing the torch to Corey Stoll. The show’s impressive cast also includes Paul Giamatti, Maggie Siff, Malin Akerman, Toby Leonard Moore, David Costabile, and Condola Rashad.
The list of proposed spinoffs includes Billions: Miami, set in the world of private aviation, Billions: London, tackling the world of UK finance, Millions, the show about thirtysomethings, financial mogul wannabes trying to make it in Manhattan, and Trillions, a drama focusing on the richest people in the world coming into conflict with one another.
