Up until the time, we know Axe left his native New York City after losing big in Billions Season 5 finale. Still, Damian Lewis’ exit will open a vast door for Corey Stoll’s character in Billions Season 6. Throughout the series, the New York Attorney Chuck Rhoades has been trying to take down hedge fund king Bobby Axelrod. But the cunning billionaire always finds a way to escape from Chuck’s hands. However, after the shocking finale, Condola Rashad ensured something big would happen in Billions Season 6.

Billions Season 6: Damian Lewis Might Not Return

Billions Season 5 finale left fans enigmatically after Damian Lewis, who played Robert “Bobby” Axelrod aka Axe, escaped to Switzerland. Well, many believed that probably the character would return and look into the camera and say in Axe-esque, “just kidding!” and fly back to Wendy’s arms. But it didn’t happen. Damian had been playing the mysterious billionaire Axe for five hit seasons. And recently, he confirmed his departure from the show.

Damian didn’t renew his contract as he wanted to explore other creative projects. Shortly after the fifth season finale, he announced this news on Twitter. Damian wrote it’s a privilege and pleasure to work with the funniest, brightest, and most talented cast and crew. He added playing Axe for five seasons is a pure blessing he’ll also miss the Billions family. Well, it’s not the first network series from where Damian has departed in the middle of its run. He exited from Showtime’s Homeland just after three seasons in 2013.

Who Will Return?

While Axe’s exit would be shocking for many fans, the series ensured to return with the main star cast to explore a world without Axe and his cryptic moves. Paul Giamatti will once again return as Charles “Chuck” Rhoades Jr. and Maggie Siff as his on-screen wife, Wendy Rhoades. In addition, Corey Stoll, who plays Michael Prince, joined as a guest star as Axe’s rival. But last year, Showtime announced that Stoll had been upped as series regulars for the next run.

Now, after Axe’s departure, the story will revolve around Stoll’s Prince. Further, Daniel Breaker, who plays Scooter Dunbar, Prince’s chief of staff, has been promoted as series regulars. Other returning casts include David Costabile as Mike “Wags” Wagner, Condola Rashād as Kate Sacker, and Asia Kate Dillon as Taylor Amber Mason. Jeffrey DeMunn as Charles Rhoades Sr. and Kelly AuCoin as “Dollar” Bill Stearn will also return.
