After more than a year, Billions will return for the second half of its fifth season without skipping a beat, Showtime boss Gary Levine shar
After more than a year, Billions will return for the second half of its fifth season without skipping a beat, Showtime boss Gary Levine shared during the premium network’s TCA session on Tuesday.
The drama, starring Paul Giamatti and Damian Lewis will return for the second half of Season 5 on September 5, with Season 6 following shortly in January. Levine said that despite the year-long break, audiences can jump right back in – the same way actors did amid the Covid-19 pandemic.
“We did make a few adjustments in shooting the last five episodes post-pandemic to allow for shooting in a pandemic,” he said. “Story-wise, we stayed true to the original plan. Having seen those five episodes they come back just shot out of a cannon and you are immediately thrown back into the story — no need to review the earlier episodes.”
[…]
“We felt guilty for the audience to have to wait as long as they did to see the rest of Season 5 so we and the rest of the producers just put our heads down and said just plow ahead,” he added.
Levine also revealed that the stars and creative team behind Billions shot the latter half of Season 5 and the upcoming sixth season at the same time, hence Season 6’s fast-approaching premiere date. Though the pandemic threw the production schedule somewhat off-course, Levine said that the time away benefitted the series’ writing team. Billions returned to production based on on different protocol, different actors’ availability, production concerns, but returned to production nonetheless.
“The good news is when we resumed production, we did it safely and as I said, the episodes turned out beautifully,” Levine said.

Showtime ha cancellato la celebre serie tv Ray Donovan dopo 7 stagioni, la decisione è stata confermata questa sera.
Dopo aver staccato la spina a Homeland (dopo 8 stagioni), ed in attesa di dire addio a Shameless (dopo 10 stagioni), il network ha scelto di chiudere anche con la serie Ray Donovan, bisognosa a detta di fan e cast (Liev Schreiber in testa) di un finale degno.

The Latest: Showtime open to more 'Twin Peaks' if Lynch is
PASADENA, Calif/January 05, 2018(AP)(STL.News)— The Latest from the TV Critics meeting in Pasadena, California (all times local):
3:25 p.m.
Showtime programming executive Gary Levine says if David Lynch is willing to tackle another season of “Twin Peaks,” the channel is willing to listen.
But given the “Herculean” effort that Lynch put into reviving the cult drama last year, including directing all 18 episodes, Levine said he’s unsure Lynch wants to do it again.
The original “Twin Peaks,” starring Kyle MacLachlan as a FBI agent investigating a murder in an offbeat town, aired in 1990-91 on ABC. It picked up 25 years later in the lives of the characters in its return on Showtime.
Levine told TV critics Saturday the door at Showtime is always open to Lynch or his fellow “Twin Peaks” creator Mark Frost to discuss the show or any other project they have in mind. ___
2:45 p.m.
Television viewers will soon get an inside look at what President Donald Trump likes to call the “failing” New York Times.
Showtime announced Saturday that filmmaker Liz Garbus is producing a four-part documentary series on the Times, “The Fourth Estate,” that will debut in May.
Documentary-makers were given access to meetings and discussions at the Times as it shaped coverage of the Trump administration. A clip on Saturday showed the newsroom reacting to Trump’s inaugural address.
Besides giving a view of how the newspaper covers the president, “The Fourth Estate” will also show the Times in a period of transition. In a generational change for the family-controlled business, 37-year-old A.G. Sulzberger has taken over as the Times’ new publisher. ___
11:50 a.m.
The producers of the new CBS comedy “Living Biblically” say their goal is to appeal to both believers and non-believers.
Inspired by A.J. Jacobs’ book “The Year of Living Biblically,” the series stars Jay R. Ferguson as a modern New Yorker who decides to strictly follow the Bible in his daily life. He’s guided by a priest and a rabbi.
Executive producer Patrick Walsh told TV critics Saturday that the show aims to “loosen up the conversation” about religion in a funny, respectful way.
Among the show’s producers is Johnny Galecki, who stars on “The Big Bang Theory.” Galecki said that presumptions that “The Year of Living Biblically” will be sarcastic about religion are wrong.
The hope is that viewers will find the comedy to be a “cool take” on religion, which is what a lot of people base their lives on, Galecki said.
The show, which also stars Lindsey Kraft, Ian Gomez, David Krumholtz, Tony Rock and Camryn Manehim, debuts Feb. 26. ___
11:03 a.m.
Actor Alan Cumming will portray what is believed to be the first gay lead character in a broadcast network drama and he says it’s particularly important that the milestone is happening during President Donald Trump’s administration.
His crime procedural “Instinct” arrives at a time when Cumming said “the president is actively condoning, by his silence, violence and persecution against the LBGT community.”
The show premieres on CBS March 11. Cumming plays an author who is an expert on serial killers who gets drawn into helping New York police track down a killer who models his behavior on one of his books.
Cumming says it’s a perfect time to have a married same-sex couple portrayed on network TV. ___
