Damian Lewis is returning to the franchise and a multitude of spinoffs are being explored, but _Billions_ could be set to end with its seventh season. Dan Soder, who plays Dudley Mafee, a


onetime Axe Capital employee who becomes Taylor Mason Capital’s first employee, recently let slip that Showtime’s longest-running drama is coming to an end with its upcoming season. Soder


revealed the news during an appearance on NBC Sports Chicago’s _Football Night_. “Season seven, the final season of_ Billions_, is on its way,” a San Francisco 49ers-clad Soder said, before


realizing that he probably shouldn’t have let that slip. “Am I not supposed to say that? I don’t know if I’m supposed to say that,” he added. Showtime declined to comment. WATCH ON DEADLINE


The news comes as Lewis is returning as Bobby Axelrod in six of the 12 episodes that are set to premiere later this year. Toney Goins, who plays Philip has also been upped to series regular,


alongside Paul Giamatti, Corey Stoll, Maggie Siff, David Costabile, Asia Kate Dillon, Condola Rashad, Jeffrey DeMunn, Sakina Jaffrey, and Daniel Breaker. _Billions_ was co-created by Brian


Koppelman, David Levien and Andrew Ross Sorkin. Beth Schacter serves as showrunner and executive producer alongside Koppelman and Levien. In the works are a series of spinoffs, following the


news that Showtime is becoming Paramount+ with Showtime, including_ Millions, Trillions_ and series set in Miami and London.
