Billions season 5 TV billboards...

With over 36 million people having filed for unemployment in the U.S., almost 90,000 deaths from COVID-19 and the daily acts of greed, crime, corruption and apathy by the current disastrous administration, sometimes it's hard to get excited by a drama called Billions.

That being said, Showtime's drama about New York's power and money elite is back for a fifth season of old conflicts and new alliances.

Last season's twist saw an unexpected alliance between Paul Giamatti's New York Attorney General 'Chuck Rhoades' and hedge-fund billionaire Damian Lewis' 'Bobby Axelrod', but that didn't last for long.

This season Axe Capital faces competition from new billionaire-on-the-block, 'Mike Prince' (played by Corey Stoll) and sees Julianna Margulies join the cast as a sociology professor and successful author.

These season five billboards were photographed along Sunset Boulevard, Santa Monica Boulevard and Westwood Boulevard on April 27, 2020, and the following day.

Fans of the high-stakes Showtime drama can also enjoy these previous season promo billboards for Billions.

Just like with HBO's Succession, there's a certain guilty pleasure watching the uber-wealthy and powerful fight amongst themselves and try and tear each other down, so let the endless lies, manipulations and power plays continue.
