March 8 (UPI) -- Showtime said Wednesday it has ordered a third season of Billions, starring Paul Giamatti, Damian Lewis, Maggie Siff and Malin Akerman.
"Billions continues to be a show on the rise, growing not only in audience, but in critical buzz and cultural relevance," David Nevins, president and chief executive officer at Showtime Networks Inc., said in a statement. "It offers a unique mix of pure entertainment with sly commentary on our current have/have-not economy. Season 2 is off to a tremendous start, and has only whetted our audience's appetite for what will come in Season 3."
