US premium network Showtime is offering Spotify users the ability to upgrade to a complimentary premium membership, timed to the series premiere of its new drama series, Billions.


The drama melds the worlds of ultra-wealth, influence and corruption as personified in two opposing figures: hard-charging, blue-blooded, politically connected US Attorney Chuck Rhoades (Paul Giamatti); and brilliant, calculating, blue-collar billionaire hedge fund king, Bobby ‘Axe’ Axelrod (Damian Lewis). Set amongst the Machiavellian machinations of New York City power politics and finance, Billions weaves a complex, intricate narrative featuring a high-stakes game of predator-versus-prey.

Showtime will offer non-premium users the chance to win a three-month ‘Billionaire Status’ premium membership. Winners, selected at random, will receive an email with instructions on how to activate the free upgrade, in addition to information about the series.

The network is also allowing viewers an early look at the premieres of the new drama series and the returning comedy Shameless across multiple platforms.
