Here's a new behind-the-scenes video for Showtime's hedge fund show 'Billions'

Showtime has put out a behind-the-scenes video for the upcoming hedge fund drama "Billions" that debuts next year. 

The 12-episode series stars Damian Lewis, who plays a hedge fund king Bobby "Axe" Axelrod, the CEO of AXE Capital, and Paul Giamatti, who plays US Attorney Chuck Rhoades.

"You will see your preconceptions constantly challenged—who's good? who's bad? And what people are prepared to do to get what they want," Lewis said in the video.

Giamatti described the series as a "thriller" and a "cat and mouse game" between his character and hedge fund manager Bobby Axelrod. 

The show was written by Brian Koppelman, David Levien, and New York Times editor/CNBC anchor Andrew Ross Sorkin. It premieres January 17, 2016 at 10pm EST.
