Industry season 2 is coming, and there’s a teaser trailer!

We will also see For All Mankind‘s Alex Alomar Akpobome starring as a handsome, charismatic “rising star” Executive Director from New York, together with Adam Levy (The Witcher), playing Yasmin’s playboy father Charles Hanani and Indy Lewis, who you might recognise from a small role in season one, playing Venetia Berens – a new recruit to the Foreign Exchange Sales Desk where Yasmin works.

What will Season 2 be about?

If you thought season 1 made the banking world look like a pressure cooker, it seems that the second season is one step up. 

The BBC press release statement reads: “The market is ripping, and Pierpoint’s back to work or else mandate has the trading floor more charged up and paranoid than ever. New U.S. management will be gasoline on the flames – an injection of cross Atlantic energy that lights a fire under each and every employee.”

We also now know that the new season will choose to integrate a “post-Covid” setting into the storyline: “Now Harper, Yasmin and Robert must drive new business and make new alliances both in and out of the office as Pierpoint and its junior bankers seek to take every advantage in a post-Covid world.”

It will be a gripping follow-up from season one, which ended on RIF (reduction in force) day where, after weeks of casual hook-ups, drug binges and all-nighters in between schmoozing clients and trying to make the company money, it was the grads’ final turn to prove themselves worthy of keeping their desk.

The grads must make presentations to the hiring team, explaining why they deserve a place at the Pierpoint table. Gus (David Jonsson) has seemingly had it with the corporate world, angry at the company for not taking responsibility for Hari’s (Nabhaan Rizwan) death. Robert is all smooth-talk, but as he explains that he’s failed to secure any business, his nose starts to bleed (someone needs to tell this guy to lay off the drugs).
