Damian Lewis will return as the character Billions.
In the final season of Season 5, titled No Way Home, Lewis’ Axelrod once again flees the police. He eventually disappeared in cloak and dagger form with his possessions and fled to Switzerland to avoid punishment in New York. The epilogue marks Lewis’ departure from the series, but also leaves open the possibility that he will return to the series at some point in the future. His passing in 2021 comes shortly after his wife, actress Helen McCrory, died that same year.
Speaking on his departure, the performer said his five-season tenure as Ax was:
“This is probably the time I spent the most time playing a character. It’s hard to keep digging, art… There’s a chance I’ll be able to go back. But for now, Ax has been defeated.”
Season 6 premiered last winter and will end with the season finale on April 10, 2022. The season returns for a seventh season, with Lewis taking on the role of Ax. Billions is currently in production in New York and Lewis’ return was revealed last November when he was spotted filming with his co-stars outside the Tower of London.
Damian Lewis is an English actor best known for his role as United States Army Major Richard Winters on the HBO television series Band of Brothers, for which he was nominated for a Golden Globe. On Showtime’s Homeland, he won an Emmy for his role as US Marine Sergeant. Nicholas Brody (2011 to 2013).
