HIGHLIGHTS FROM SHO
‘BILLIONS’
It takes one to break one when the SHOWTIME Original Series BILLIONS® returns for a final season like no other. Bobby Axelrod and Chuck Rhodes have been adversaries and they’ve been allies but when the stakes escalate beyond Wall Street their game of one-upmanship threatens to topple empires as Axe returns with a score to settle. It’ll be a triumph for some, and a tumble for others. Be one of the first to catch the season premiere of Billions.
‘THE CHI’
It’s time to grow up, step up and boss up in a bold new season of THE CHI, the critically acclaimed SHOWTIME® Original series from Emmy® winner Lena Waithe. Lovers find out what happens when the honeymoon ends and real life begins, while hustlers discover that more money brings more problems. Catch up on the premiere episode during the Free Preview Weekend before episode 2 airs on August 13.
‘ALL UP IN THE BIZ’
Directed by Sacha Jenkins, the documentary feature, which premiered at the Tribeca Festival® in June, is the definitive story of late, great rapper Biz Markie, who is best known for his mega hit “Just a Friend.” Featuring never before seen footage, musical interludes, animation, puppetry, and interviews with Biz Markie and other prominent figures in hip hop – from Fat Joe to Nick Cannon to Tracy Morgan – ALL UP IN THE BIZ is a heartwarming portrait of how one underdog’s dreams – fortified by an unwavering determination and a wicked sense of humor – would come true inside the world of hip hop and far beyond.
‘THE WHALE’
Academy Award® winner Brendan Fraser stars as a reclusive English teacher who, in the wake of a tragedy, attempts one last chance at redemption by reconnecting with his teenage daughter. Directed by Darren Aronofsky.
