The struggle between New York District Attorney Charles “Chuck” Rhoades, Jr. and hedge fund billionaire Robert Axelrod, AKA Bobby or Axe, dominates the first five seasons of the show. Following the departure of Damian Lewis (Axe), the show underwent major changes, including the introduction of Michael Thomas Aquinius Prince, a new billionaire for Chuck to quarrel with.
Prince is initially shown as a wealthy new-age man who really wishes to make the world a better place. But, in the end, he emerges as a man whose ambition knows no limitations, nor does his willingness to make the necessary sacrifices to achieve it. ‘Billions’ has gotten largely good reviews since its premiere on January 17, 2016.
The show’s characters, acting, fast-paced narrative, and rapid-fire conversations have all been lauded by critics and fans alike. The show’s sixth season just ended broadcasting. So, if you’re wondering if a seventh season would be held, we’ve got the dirt!

Release Date for Season 7 of Billions
Season 6 of ‘Billions’ started on Showtime on January 23, 2022, and ran for 12 episodes before ending on April 10, 2022. Every episode lasts between 48 and 60 minutes.
We’ve got some fantastic news for Season 7! ‘Billions’ was renewed for a seventh season in February 2022, less than a month after the sixth season premiered. The drama series is one of Showtime’s most successful shows, with a strong and devoted fan following. Despite the fact that Lewis’ leaving has caused some disappointment, most supporters appear to have come to terms with it.
The first four seasons aired in the first quarter of each year from 2016 to 2019. However, due to the impacts of the COVID-2019 pandemic, the team ran into several challenges during the creation and screening of the fifth season.
Having said that, things appear to have returned to normal, since Season 6 of the show has resumed its typical release schedule. Season 7 of ‘Billions’ is set to premiere in the first quarter of 2023 if everything goes according to plan.

What Could the Plot of Season 7 of Billions Be About?
Prince loses $3.5 billion in the season 6 finale to avoid jail time. Chuck is instead imprisoned. Everyone at Michael Prince Capital is starting to realise what kind of man their new boss is, which makes the majority of them uneasy. Dave meets Chuck in prison at the end of the episode and informs him that she will need his help to prevent Prince from becoming President of the United States.
When Chuck is released in Season 7, Mike will find he has essentially squandered $3.5 billion, and their feud will resurface. If Philip and Taylor do take over MPC next season, they may try to establish themselves outside of Prince’s massive shadow. Wendy’s attitude toward her work may change now that she has been granted asylum.
