Bobby Back on 'Billions'
Showtime's Billions had been soaring in a new direction after the show's star Damian Lewis departed at the end of season five. Mike Prince, played by Corey Stoll, was at the helm during season six and seemed to be the leading man as season seven shaped up, but thanks to New York City paparazzi, it has been revealed that Lewis is back on set as Bobby Axelrod. Lewis left the series after the recent passing of his wife, actor Helen McCrory, from breast cancer. His final scene in the fifth season left the door open for a return to the show, so die-hards of the series might not be too shocked by the revelation. Lewis will appear in six of the 12 episodes.

The latest project is set for a March 3 theatrical release.
