Industry season 2 has finally arrived, along with some of the brilliant and compelling cast from the first run.
Co-creator Mickey Down has promised that “the universe of the show has expanded substantially to include new clients, new bosses, new love interests”.
Yes, yes, and yes!
The first series, which aired in late 2020, introduced us to a largely unknown British cast.
But now we are FULLY invested in their characters and their relationships.
So who’s in the cast of Industry season 2 on BBC One? Here’s everything you need to know!
Myha’la Herrold plays Harper Stern in the cast of Industry season 2
In season 1 of Industry, Harper kept her cards close to her chest.
We know she’s lying about something, but we do know something crucial about her – her brother is missing.
At the end of the first run, she showed she’d stop at nothing to get what she wants – even if it makes a whole load of enemies.
She chose to bring back her toxic boss Eric Tao over Sara Dhadwal (who wanted the young grad to help her change the culture at Pierpoint).
The decision secured her job, but shattered her relationship with Daria Greenock (Freya Mavor), who was fired to make room for Eric.
The decision also made Harper very unpopular with friend Yasmin.
Executive producer Jami O’Brien said: “Harper’s nothing if not tough.
“Season 2 will see her swing back to life, re-energised by new work relationships, new love interests and a potential lead in the search for her brother.”
California-born actress Myha’la Herrold, 26, was a relative newcomer before landing the role of Harper Stern.
The role of Harper was her first ever major TV role.
Before starring in season 1, Myha’la had appeared as a background character in the film Rehabilitation of the Hill, and Dymond in Premature.
She played Tami in one episode of Modern Love.
Myha’la has since appeared as Logan in Plan B, and Jordan in Bodies Bodies Bodies.
The actress is currently filming Leave the World Behind, starring Ethan Hawke, Julia Roberts, Kevin Bacon, and Mahershala Ali.
Marisa Abela stars as Yasmin Kara-Hanani
Season 2 picks up a year after the height of the pandemic and the grads are no longer allowed to hide behind their graduate status.
Yasmin and her colleagues 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.
Viewers know that Yasmin broke up with her rather useless boyfriend at the end of season 1 – and not before time!
After all, we all want her to get together with Robert, don’t we?
The sexual chemistry between them is palpable.
Actress Marisa Abela, like the majority of the young cast, was relatively unknown before being picked for the London-based series.
But that all changed after she won the role of Yasmin in the eight-part drama, linked to Girls creator Lena Durham.
British actress Marisa, 25, only graduated from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) in 2019.
She studied a BA in Acting, and her graduate profile states that she was a county swimmer for Sussex.
Marisa’s first major TV role was as PM’s daughter Ellie Sutherland in Sky One’s Cobra.
Before that, Marisa made her TV debut as a child actor in a minor role in the 2008 film Man in a Box.
Marisa recently filmed a role for Five Dates, a choose-your-own-adventure rom-com made for gaming consoles, which was filmed via video chat during lockdown.
She’ll appear in upcoming films including Sam Riley’s She is Love, and Barbie.
Industry season 2 cast: Harry Lawtey stars as Robert Spearing
In the trailer for season 2 of Industry (see below), Robert is seen partying his worries away.
He’s also seen in the back of a car with Pierpoint’s predator client Nicole, where she puts her hand on his leg.
Viewers will know Sarah Parish’s character sexually assaulted Harper in the back of a cab in season 1.
At the end of season 1, Robert’s future at the bank was left unknown.
But now we know he scraped it through and got a job at Pierpoint.
Like the rest of the cast, Harry Lawtey is a relative newcomer and Industry marks his first leading role.
Harry is a graduate of Sylvia Young Theatre School and Drama Centre London.
His first TV role was in 2012 as Young Mark in the TV series Wizards vs. Aliens.
