"Exploring the Legacy and Impact of 'Billions' as it Concludes"

Showtime's financial drama series "Billions" is set to conclude with its upcoming final season, but the network has already announced plans for four spinoffs, including "Millions" and "Trillions."

The show's formula of scheming protagonists and their opponents has proven to be a winning formula, making it a prime candidate for spinoffs. With its established characters, visual style, and compelling storylines, "Billions" has the potential to become a franchise akin to popular procedural dramas like "CSI" and "NCIS."
