Surprise! Bobby Axelrod is back!
Actor Damian Lewis announced tonight on Stephen Colbert he’s returning to my favorite show, “Billions,” on Showtime.
Lewis left “Billions” a couple of years ago to take care of his wife, the late great actress Helen McCrory who died tragically from cancer two years ago.
“Billions” went through season 6 without Bobby, who fled the US ignominiously after a long, exciting duel to the finish with Paul Giamiatti’s Chuck Rhoades. But there was a lot of unfinished business, so now Season 7 will deal with that.
Lewis and Giamatti and “Billions” have gotten no Emmy awards. Showtime has done nothing for them. But now that Showtime is morphing into Paramount Plus, the “Billions” world is adding “Trillions” and “Zillions” — really — as spin offs, maybe Viacom will run a real campaign for these guys, not to mention David Costabile, Jeffrey DeMunn, and Maggie Siff as well as creators Brian Koppelman and David Levien.
