Why isn’t Billions new tonight, May 19? Find out why Showtime isn’t airing a new Billions season 4 episode this week and is Billions on tonight?
Why isn’t Billions new tonight, May 19? Fans of the Showtime series might have noticed that the network hasn’t said much about the show recently, and there’s a reason why — because there isn’t a new episode scheduled Sunday.
The Wall Street drama is pushing pause on its fourth season this week. While Showtime has not issued any kind of official statement as to why, there’s one big possible explanation: this Sunday at 9 p.m. is also the Game of Thrones series finale.
It’s possible that Showtime didn’t want to put its critically acclaimed series directly up against the HBO hit, because a whole lot of people will be tuned in to the other show to see how it ends.
So it’s not new, but is Billions on tonight? That’s a much easier answer to find; although they’re not giving fans a fresh episode, there is an episode in the show’s regular time slot for anyone who wants their weekly fix.
Showtime has planned a repeat broadcast of last week’s episode “American Champion,” which is the one where Taylor Mason (Asia Kate Dillon) launches a personal attack on someone close to her former mentor Bobby “Axe” Axelrod (Damian Lewis).
Meanwhile, Axe’s former adversary Chuck Rhoades (Paul Giamatti) does something drastic to try and help his wife Wendy Rhoades (Maggie Siff) out of the predicament that her career has taken with all of the recent strife.
Billions returns next Sunday, with only two episodes left in the current season 4. But now you know why isn’t Billions new tonight, at least as far as TV fans can make an educated guess. Even though the drama in Westeros has nothing on Wall Street.
