Lewis exited Billions ahead of Season 6 and his departure was a huge shocker for the fans of the show because he carried it on his shoulders from the get-go. Lewis made this decision in the aftermath of the death of his wife Helen McCrory but stayed open to the possibility of returning in the future.

“There’s an opportunity maybe for me to return, but for now, broadly speaking, Axe has been vanquished,” he told The New York Times in 2021, adding it’s been a pleasure and a privilege to play Axe for five seasons.

The show hasn’t been the same since his departure, but Lewis is finally ready to come back. He shared the news with Stephen Colbert on The Late Show, saying “Axe is back, and it’s exciting. He’s not been around for a couple of seasons.”

Lewis will appear in six of 12 episodes when Billions returns for Season 7, and he’ll star opposite Paul Giamatti, Corey Stoll, Maggie Siff, David Costabile, Asia Kate Dillon, Condola Rashad, Jeffrey DeMunn, Sakina Jaffrey, and Daniel Breaker.

Lewis discussed his departure in a recent interview with The New York Times and said that “Axe has been vanquished”. The actor explained he’s ready to move on from playing this character, adding it’s “difficult to keep mining, creatively” because we know who he is.

Brian Koppelman, who serves as showrunner of Billions along with David Levien, praised Lewis’ ability to make a despicable character likably as he reflected on his time on the show.

“Damian Lewis is not an actor who’s scared the audience is going to dislike him. He is willing to play the character in as caustic a manner as the character requires, and he has faith that if he’s true to that, it will connect with the audience,” Koppelman told The New York Times.

Billions was renewed for Season 6 last October, but its production was delayed due to pandemic-related production shutdown. Paul Giamatti, Corey Stoll, and Maggie Siff are all set to come back when the series returns to Showtime on January 23rd, 2022.
