With Michael Prince potentially caught in the crosshairs, the nail-biting Showtime drama returned for its seventh— and final — season on August 11. Billions series co-creators Brian Koppelman, David Levien and Andrew Ross Sorkin have drawn inspiration from Steve A.

Since the series premiere in 2016, audiences have followed former US attorney Chuck Rhoades (Paul Giamatti) in his quest to bring these self-serving titans of industry to justice.

And just like that, another TV character has a heart attack on a Peloton bike.
After the “Sex and the City” spinoff “And Just Like That” killed off Mr. Big (Chris Noth), who has a heart attack after riding the stationary exercise bike, “Billions” is the next show to paint Peloton in a not-so-positive light.
In the Season 6 premiere, as Axe Capital COO Mike Wagner (David Costabile) attempts to keep up with his younger girlfriend in a Peloton class, he suffers a minor heart attack. But unlike Mr. Big, Wags survives — and even makes a reference to “And Just Like That.” The scene was written and shot last spring, with Wags’ line — “I’m not going out like Mr. Big” — overdubbed in post-production.
Peloton’s stock plunged 11% last month after Mr. Big’s death in “And Just Like That.” The company quickly attempted to salvage its image with a tongue-in-cheek commercial spearheaded by Ryan Reynolds,...

Peloton is none-too-pleased with its recent depiction on a premium cable series. On Sunday night’s “Billions,” Mike Wagner aka Wags (David Costabile) suffers a mild heart-attack while riding a Peloton bike. Sound familiar? The same thing — minus the “mild” part — happened to Mr. Big (Chris Noth) on “Sex and the City” sequel series “And Just Like That…”
Unlike Big, Wags did not die. The Showtime character did, however, acknowledge the HBO Max tragedy.
“I’m not going out like Mr. Big,” Wags said on last night’s “Billions.”
Universes crossed!
A person with knowledge of production told TheWrap the “Billions” scene was written and shot in Spring 2021. Producers later added in the line referencing Mr. Big, we’re told.
