BBC Two and HBO\u2019s Industry<\/a> is back for its second outing, with both the young hopefuls and the old guard put to the test once again as they scramble to assert themselves at Pierpoint, one of the world\u2019s top investment banks.<\/p>\n

The latest batch of episodes welcomes back a raft of familiar faces following the dramatic season 1 finale, plus a number of new players who are guaranteed to shake up proceedings in the cut throat world of finance.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re very much our own worst critics,\u201d co-creator Conrad Kay said<\/a> (via RadioTimes.com<\/a>) of the pressure the team felt when stepping into season 2 as they pushed to tell \u201cbetter stories\u201d.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cThe first season was big on vibe, character, had some good dialogue, some fun sex, [and] had an overall aesthetic which maybe felt like a bit of a breath of fresh air, which is maybe why people reacted so positively to it. But we thought, as the writers of the show, we could tell more exciting, thrilling, corporate intrigue [and] corporate politics stories within that space.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe show\u2019s about power on some level and there\u2019s no reason why we couldn\u2019t have a bit of a Game of Thrones-y, \u2018Who\u2019s gonna take whose seat?\u2019 kind of feel to it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s everything you need to know about Industry\u2019s season 2 cast.<\/p>

Who is Harper?\u00a0<\/strong>A highly talented graduate trainee from New York who lands a job at fictional London investment bank Pierpoint & Co. As first impressions go, she\u2019s not great with small talk, but she\u2019s whip-smart and she knows it.<\/p>\n

Speaking at a press Q&A, Herrold said she \u201cabsolutely\u201d didn\u2019t understand Industry\u2019s financial terms<\/a>. \u201cNo [I didn\u2019t understand them]. The short answer is absolutely not, no,\u201d she said. \u201cYeah, when I first read the first script entirely, in the audition process, I think I had an early version of the first draft \u2013 I remember I was reading it in my apartment in Brooklyn. it was like mad late, I was in my bed in the dark reading this script, and I remember sweating bullets, I got to the end of episode four and I was like, \u2018Oh my God, I don\u2019t really, really know what this means, but I know that it\u2019s crazy\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

Where have I seen Myha\u2019la Herrold\u00a0before?\u00a0<\/strong>She\u2019s best known for playing Tami in Amazon original series Modern Love (an adaptation of the New York Times columns of the same name), and for her role in Bodies Bodies Bodies.<\/p>\n
