Billions fans will be "immediately thrown back into the story" when Season 5 resumes

Deadline

Showtime entertainment president Gary Levine said at the TV press tour that while the pandemic affected things with the back half of Season 5 off-screen, viewers won't see any differences on-screen. “We did make a few adjustments in shooting the last five episodes post-pandemic to allow for shooting in a pandemic,” he said. “Story-wise, we stayed true to the original plan. Having seen those five episodes they come back just shot out of a cannon and you are immediately thrown back into the story — no need to review the earlier episodes.”
