New trailer for Showtime’s Billions suggests that rich people are jerks

Everyone knows having a lot of money will make you happy, but this trailer for Showtime’s Billions suggests that maybe, just maybe, having a lot of money doesn’t actually make you a nice person. Billions stars Damian Lewis as an extremely arrogant billionaire who is almost certainly stealing money from people and Paul Giamatti as a U.S. attorney who wants to take him down and/or scream at people about how much he wants to take him down. A lot of the best scenes in this trailer were also in the last trailer—specifically Lewis asking what the point is of having “fuck you money” if you never say “fuck you”—but this one also shows off a little more of the supporting cast, including Malin Akerman and David Costabile. There’s also a shot of what looks like a dominatrix stepping on Paul Giamatti’s chest, which is probably a thing you’ve always wanted to see. Anyway, if the world of Billions is anything like the real world, and Lewis’ character is as bad as he seems, at least we can all rest easy knowing he will never pay for his financial crimes.

Billions premieres on Showtime on January 17, 2016.
