The kings of high finance have returned for another season of Showtime's drama series, Billions.
Created by Brian Koppelman, David Levien and Andrew Ross Sorkin, it follows Bobby Axelrod as he accumulates wealth and power through aggressive tactics in the world of high finance. Meanwhile, his rival and a United States Attorney, Chuck Rhoades, attempts to prosecute his illegal acts.
The series was inspired by the investigations undertaken by United States Attorney Preet Bharara, on whom Rhoades is based. Some plotlines from the show mirror real-life prosecutions of financial crimes by federal authorities.
Here's everything viewers need to know about Showtime's Billions Season 6.

The ground is ever shifting and the stakes absolute. New king, new war, new rules."
