The Homeland star will play a major hedge fund broker who clashes with Paul Giamatti's headstrong US Attorney.

Neil Burger (Divergent) will direct the pilot episode from a script written by Brian Koppelman, David Levien and Andrew Ross Sorkin.

Production on Billions is due to kick off in New York in early 2015, reports Variety.

This project marks Lewis's return to the network following his successful three-season run on Homeland.
