There are still a lot of questions about the official release of Billions season 5 episode 8, as the series has yet to film the upcoming installment. The show opted to air its midseason finale with the seventh episode due to the global health crisis and it leaves some scattered storylines.

Over the past weeks, there have only been a few updates about Billions season 5 episode 8 as filming hasn't yet kicked off. But, it looks like some things could change in the coming weeks since regulations in New York City have been lifted.

Because of this, many were optimistic the series will resume its production to complete the entire season. However, there are still other things that needed to be considered before cast and crew go back to work. For instance, they have to follow certain guidelines and protocols.

All of them have to make sure that everyone will follow all the health guidelines, and they should have a contained environment. They still need to follow a lot of things even though the situation has been lifted, as filming may shut down again if some guidelines weren't followed.

Another challenge in filming Billions season 5 episode 8 is editing the installment properly. It may likely take some time to get the episode done and get it on air. The official release date remains unknown for now and we'll probably get some news about once filming is underway.

Fans have been speculating that Billions season 5 episode 8 will be back on air in 2021, with some noting that a release date next year is very likely. Others, also, say that, since the series has been gone for too long, they'll be calling it season 6 once it returns.

As for the story, the previous episode delved deeper into the life of Bobby Axelrod (Damian Lewis), as well as the battles he has to face moving forward. In addition, he hates the blossoming relationship between Nico Tanner (Frank Grillo) and Wendy (Maggie Siff).

Mike Prince (Corey Stoll) wages a war, while Chuck Rhoades (Paul Giamatti) does whatever he can for his family and even manipulated friends along with Kate Sacker (Condola Rashād). The episode also sees Taylor Amber Mason (Asia Kate Dillon) stepping up and taking charge.

There are a lot of stories needed to be addressed entering Billions season 5 episode 8. But, what fans need to do now is to wait until the series goes back to work again. After all, the health and safety of everyone remain to be the top priority right now.
