SPOILER ALERT: Do not read if you have not seen “No Direction Home,” the Season 5 finale of “Billions.” “Billions” will get a big reset in its upcoming sixth se…
confirm that Damian Lewis has bowed out after five seasons as the show’s central figure, the meglomaniac hedge fund billionaire Bobby Axelrod. Lewis may come back in the future — you can never say never — but Season 6 will move forward with a new king of what was once Axe’s castle, Mike Prince as played by Corey Stoll. In the narrative of “Billions,” “Herr Axelrod,” as Lewis was greeted in his final scene, will cool his heels in Switzerland for a while.
In the finale, as Axe plans his escape, he invites Wendy to join him on the run in Europe. She declines. “You wouldn’t want the version of me that would go,” she tells him. He responds, “If we can’t finish it, we can’t start it.” Asia Kate Dillon’s Taylor Mason remains a pivotal “Billions” character as Taylor Mason, the analytical genius who can spot profit-making opportunities from 30,000 feet but wrestles with their conscience and the consequences of such wealth accumulation. In Season 5, Mason’s idealism is challenged by another idealistic newcomer, Rian .
The shift to Prince and his desire to burnish his humanitarian image is in keeping with the currents in the high net-worth arena. Naturally, Prince is not as squeaky-clean as the image he seeks to project, as viewers learned in Season 5. “We’d met with him on another part about a month before we offered him Mike Prince,” Koppelman said. “Before he left our office he said ‘Are you sure this is the one?’ It was a four-episode arc and he would have been great in it. He left the office and and I looked at each other and said ‘Mike Prince just walked out of here.’ “
The first time Axe really smiles all season is when he steps out onto the snowy tarmac in the closing moments. “He’s lost 75% of his wealth. He’s lost the connections and the people who are near and dear to him,” Koppelman said. “But you don’t see him smile and lower his shoulders until he’s on the tarmac. He’s found a freedom that he can’t have in America.”
