'Billions' to Return for Season 6 with Corey Stoll as a Series Regular

The Showtime series Billions has been renewed for a sixth season and there is some exciting casting news to share!

Corey Stoll, who was a guest star in season five, has been promoted to a series regular for the upcoming season. He plays Mike Prince, “a social impact pioneer who poses a threat to Damian Lewis’ Axe’s dominance,” according to Deadline.

The fifth season of the series was interrupted due to COVID-19 and only seven out of the season’s 12 episodes were completed. Those episodes aired in May and June and the network hopes that the remaining five episodes will air in 2021, followed by the sixth season.

It is believed that the show will film the end of season five and the sixth season back-to-back.

Damian Lewis and Paul Giamatti star in the award-winning series.
