[1] [2] Судебное преследование Бхарарой в 2013 году менеджера хедж-фонда Стивена А. Коэна из SAC Capital Advisors слабо повлияло на первый сезон, в то время как манипуляции Salomon Brothers с облигациями казначейства США в 1991 году вдохновили на второй. [3] В сериале также переплетаются сюжеты с Венди Роудс ( Мэгги Сифф), психиатра, ставшего тренером по производительности, Тейлор Мейсон ( Азия Кейт Диллон ), рыночный аналитик, и Майк «Вагс» Вагнер ( Дэвид Костабайл ), правая рука Аксельрода.

Production[edit]

Development[edit]

The series was ordered by Showtime in March 2015,[23] and the first season premiered on January 17, 2016.[24] On January 26, 2016, the series was renewed for the second season,[25] which premiered on February 19, 2017.[26] Showtime confirmed in April 2017 that Asia Kate Dillon, who is non-binary, would be a series regular in the third season.[5] Billions is considered to be the first American TV series to have a non-binary character.[4]

Preet Bharara, the inspiration for U.S. Attorney Chuck Rhodes (portrayed by Paul Giamatti) was somewhat critical of his casting, jokingly referring to the Italian American actor as "noted Indian American actor Paul Giamatti".[27]

On May 8, 2019, the series was renewed for a fifth season by Showtime,[28] which premiered on May 3, 2020.[29] Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, only 7 episodes from Season 5 have aired as of February 2021. On October 1, 2020, Showtime renewed the series for a sixth season and Corey Stoll was promoted to series regular, with remaining episodes of Season 5 set to air in 2021.[11][30][31]

Broadcast[edit]

The first episode was made available on January 1, 2016, via video on demand services in the U.S. and via CraveTV in Canada.[32][33] It premiered on Stan in Australia on January 27, 2016 and in Canada on The Movie Network on January 17, 2016, simultaneous with the American broadcast.[34]

The first season has a weighted average score of 69 out of 100, based on reviews from 37 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews",[36] while the second season has a score of 67 out of 100, based on reviews from 6 critics, also indicating "generally favorable reviews".[38] Praise for the series has steadily grown over time—also on Metacritic, its third season scored a 77 out of 100, while its fourth currently holds a score of 87 out 100 based on reviews from 4 critics, indicating "universal acclaim".[40][42] The show's coverage of the hedge fund industry has been widely recognized as realistic.[6][7]

In 2017, after introducing Taylor Mason (played by Asia Kate Dillon) in season 2,[46] Billions became the first American TV series to have a non-binary character and actor.[47][48] The series has received positive comments because of its representation of non-binary gender,[49] with praise for its depiction of inclusion of gender-neutral singular they pronouns in the workplace.
