How to Watch ‘Billions’ Online – Live Stream Season 5

By Gabriela Vatu / May 2, 2020

The Billions series is returning to screens for a fifth season. We plan on watching all the new episodes online, so join us in figuring out how you can do the very same thing easily from your home.

The fifth season of Billions was ordered last year and will finally premiere in early May. The show follows the US Attorney for the Attorney General of New York, Charles Rhoades, played by Paul Giamatti, and an ambitious billionaire called Robert Axelrod, played by Damian Lewis. The story is highly complicated and takes you through a lot of incidents, but the show has been well-regarded over the years, and the interest in the show has remained high.

The first time Billions aired was back in 2016, and it’s been going strong ever since. It remains to be seen whether we’re going to get another season out of this show or if we’re going to say goodbye to our favorite characters. We do hope it’s going to be renewed and that we have at least a few more seasons out of this story.

When and Where to Watch Billions?

Billions will return to Showtime on May 3rd, and we’ll get to watch all the new episodes starting at 9 PM. There are going to be 12 episodes in this season, much like there were in the previous ones, so we’ll get to watch this show well into the summer.

How Can I Live Stream Billions?

We don’t know about you, but we spend hours upon hours online, keeping up with our friends and checking out of the news, and also binging our favorite shows and movies. That being said, we think that we should start watching TV online as well, considering we get so much more freedom to be where we need to be while still keeping an eye on our favorite shows. Since Billions is a Showtime series, you can watch it online so much easier because they have their branded subscription-based platform. Start your free trial on Showtime now!

There are a few ways you can watch Showtime online. One is through the regular Showtime Anytime app, where you will use credentials from your TV provider to log into an account. Another is through the regular Showtime app, where you’ll have to sign up directly. The situation, as you may have noticed, is pretty similar to how HBO does its business.

Other Ways to Watch Billions Online

We have already discussed the fact that you can subscribe to Showtime through various platforms and streaming services, too. You can add the channel as a premium network to your subscription and pay extra to watch it. So let's see which are the platforms that feature Showtime among their networks.

Amazon Prime Video - We have Amazon Prime Video on the list because this is a platform that will help you watch a lot of content.

There are also different perks attached to these bundles, meaning that Orange subscribers can watch content on one device at a time, Blue subscribers can watch content on three devices at the same time, and Orange + Blue subscribers can enjoy four simultaneous streams.

YouTube TV - We also have YouTube TV on our list, and this is another excellent service. There are dozens of networks available here, organized in a single bundle. While there are no channel packs to get here, there are a few premium networks, including Showtime. With YouTube TV, all subscribers can enjoy unlimited cloud DVR storage space and the capacity to watch content on up to three devices simultaneously at no additional price.

How Can I Watch Billions When Traveling Outside of the United States?

If you have any reasons to travel outside of the United States in the coming weeks, then you should know that Live TV platforms and streaming services are geo-blocked, so you won’t be able to access them freely like you do when you are at home. This happens because all these services read your IP, and if you want to access them, you will need to appear to be in the United States rather than anywhere else. For that, you will need a VPN that can do the job for you in just a few seconds. We can recommend ExpressVPN, which is one of the best tools on the market, as it features thousands of servers across the world and some really great privacy features to protect your personal information.

Here’s how you can use ExpressVPN to watch Billions:

Can I Binge-Watch Billions?

Binging on the first four seasons of Billions - and then on the new episodes as well - is something that you can do on the Showtime app. You will need to log in to an account, which means you have to be subscribed to Showtime in order to enjoy the show. Billions is also available to binge on Hulu if you have an account. All four seasons are currently available to stream. (Note: Keep in mind that the platform is geo-blocked, and you will need a VPN to enjoy it. Click here to find what you have to do.)

Can I Purchase Episodes of Billions?

Yes, that is something that you can do because Billions episodes are available to buy from numerous platforms, including Google Play, YouTube, iTunes, Microsoft Store, Amazon Prime, and Vudu. You should make sure to check them all up in case any have better prices available for you, and you end up saving a little bit of money here and there.
