Is Billions new tonight on Showtime? Season 3 in progress
Alas, you’ll be waiting a while to find out. There is no new episode tonight, largely because last week marked the season 2 finale and there is a little something known as a hiatus that now needs to be had. The writers need some time to get some more stories together for the third season, and the good news now is that this is already a work in progress. The writers room is already in session, where some ideas are being bounced around as to where to take Chuck, Axe, Taylor, and the majority of the other characters next.
One of the good and bad things about the season 3 writing process now is greater pressure, given just how great season 2 was and how it expanded the universe and created some new dynamics in a way that that sets the stage beautifully for what lies ahead. There were admittedly fears throughout the season that the Chuck versus Bobby format would get tired, but by the end of the season there was enough of a freshness in there that kept things from being routine. There were also some very-solid individual pursuits throughout the season (see Chuck and politics, or Axe and the attempted NFL bid) that were very different than anything seen already.
Sometimes, Showtime is kind enough to unleash a first “teaser” on its viewers for the new season, but there isn’t one online for Billions at the moment. With that said, it’s almost not the biggest loss in the world given that this said teaser would mostly just exist for the purpose of telling you that there is another season of the show on the way, and that all of the footage would be highlights from previous seasons as opposed to anything new. How can they include footage when it hasn’t been shot?
