A lot of fan-favorite TV shows have been ending in 2023 and Billions is part of that list, as Billions season 7 is pegged to be the final batch of episodes for the finance drama. While spinoffs are planned, it is probably still going to be tough for viewers to say goodbye to the series.

Created by Brian Koppelman, David Levien and Andrew Ross Sorkin, Billions premiered in 2016 and starred Damian Lewis and Paul Giamatti as opposing figures, Lewis the head of an influential hedge fund and Giamatti the US attorney trying to bring him and his corruptive tactics down. It all is set to come to a head in this final season.

Here is everything we know about Billions season 7.

When is the next Billions season 7 episode?

The series finale of Billions is here. The final episode of the financial drama airs on Showtime on Sunday, October 29, at 8 pm ET/PT, but if you are a Paramount Plus with Showtime subscriber, you can watch the final episode right now.

Here is the synopsis for the Billions series finale, called "Admirals Fund":

"Trust is built and broken as fate hangs in the balance for all when Chuck, Axe and Prince have the ultimate showdown."

Billions season 7 plot

Things left off in Billions season 6 with Prince getting ready to mount a presidential campaign, including trying to neatly file his indiscretions away, like his relationship with Rian. Meanwhile Chuck continued his vengeful pursuit of Prince, but a bold swing was not able to bring Prince down (though it did cost him $3.5 billion) and put Chuck behind bars, at least for a little bit, as he was out by the end of the finale.

Here is the official plot for Billions season 7, per Showtime:

"In season 7, alliances are turned on their heads. Old wounds are weaponized. Loyalties are tested. Betrayal takes on epic proportions. Enemies become wary friends. And Bobby Axelrod returns, as the stakes grow from Wall Street to the world."

It's also possible that the season 7 storyline could set up some of the spinoffs planned for Billions, with four already announced: Billions: Miami, Billions: London, Millions and Trillions.
