Showtime's Follow The Money trailer_ by [Eric Dodds](https://time.com/author/eric-dodds/) ## Eric Dodds Jul 9, 2015 5:23 PM UTC by [Eric Dodds](https://time.com/author/eric-dodds/) ## Eric Dodds Jul 9, 2015 5:23 PM UTC Showtime hasn’t found a genuine hit since _Homeland_ debuted in 2011, but the network appears poised to change that unfortunate trend with upcoming drama _Billions_. Starring Damian Lewis—who won an Emmy and a Golden Globe for his work on _Homeland_—and Paul Giamatti, the show looks a little like a modern-day version of _The Wolf of Wall Street_, with Lewis playing a toned-down but vastly savvier version of the Leonardo DiCaprio character and Giamatti as a fusion of the Kyle Chandler role and real-life U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York Preet Bharara. Sounds pretty cool, doesn’t it? The [trailer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6u5BKzf-5g) does little to disprove that notion, and neither does the team behind the show: _Rounders_ writers Brian Koppelman and David Levien are joined by Neil Burger (_Limitless_) and Andrew Ross Sorkin, who wrote _Too Big to Fail_, as executive producers. The supporting cast is solid as well, with Maggie Siff (_Sons of Anarchy_), David Costabile (_Breaking Bad_) and Malin Akerman (_The Comeback_) on board for the first season’s 12-episode run. A minute-long teaser isn’t enough to declare _Billions_ Showtime’s savior (especially considering the network’s history of shows that start with a strong first season, only to fizzle in later years), but it offers plenty of cause for hope. Definitely make sure you stick around till the last few seconds of the video. ## Transcript What we do has consequences. Come to work every day and don't waver.
