Set in the pressure cooker environment of international bank Pierpoint & Co’s London office, the series follows a group of sex and drug fuelled young bankers as they forge their identities on the trading floor.

Written by Mickey Down and Konrad Kay, the eight-part series finds the Pierpoint employees back to work as the market rips, and the grads are no longer allowed to hide behind their graduate status and are more charged up and paranoid than ever.

After almost all secured their positions at Pierpoint & Co. at the end of series one, the second series picks up a year after the height of the pandemic, following returning graduates Harper (Myha’la Herrold, Bodies, Bodies, Bodies), Yasmin (Marisa Abela, Cobra), Robert (Harry Lawtey, The Pale Blue Eye), Gus (David Jonsson, Deep State), and ‘Management’ Eric Tao (Ken Leung, Lost) and Kenny Kilblane (Conor MacNeill, Artemis Fowl).

With new U.S. management, the injection of cross Atlantic energy lights a fire under each and every employee. Now Harper, Yasmin and Robert must drive new business and make new alliances both in and out of the office as the junior bankers seek to take every advantage in a post-Covid world.

Joining the cast this season will be Alex Alomar Akpobome (Twenties) as Danny Van Deventer, the New York office wonderkid Executive Director, Indy Lewis (La Fortuna) as Venetia Berens, Yasmin’s youngest recruit on the Foreign Exchange Sales Desk, and Katrine de Candole (Dominion) as Celeste Pacquet.

Jay Duplass (The Chair) also joins the cast as the reputable hedge fund manager Jesse Bloom, with Sonny Poon Tip (Anatomy of a Scandal) as his son Leo Bloom. Adam Levy (The Witcher) stars as Yasmin’s playboy father Charles Hanani. Returning cast also includes Sarah Parish as Nicole Craig, Nicholas Bishop as Maxim Alonso, Sagar Radio as Rishi Ramdani, Mark Dexter as Hilary Wyndham and Caoilfhionni Dunne as Jackie Walsh.

Industry series two will air on BBC One and BBC iPlayer in autumn.
