Industry follows five young graduates pitted against each other for jobs at a top investment bank. But will there be a second series of Industry?

What is Industry on BBC Two about?
Industry examines issues of gender, race, class and privilege in the workplace, as five ambitious young minds try to survive in the pressure cooker environment of Pierpoint & Co’s trading floor.
We are given an insider’s view through the eyes of outsider Harper Stern, a talented young woman from upstate New York.
Scenes include nightclub excesses, trading floor bullying, sex and sexual harassment – and that was all just in the first episode!
Girls creator Lena Durham is executive producer on the show, and directs the first episode Induction.
The first episode saw one young graduate Hari, played by 1917 star Nabhaan Rizwan, literally work himself to death.
Hari tackled the challenge of his new role by pulling all-nighters, running on energy drinks and sleeping on the floor of the office toilets before his untimely death.
Who stars in Industry on BBC Two?
Marcella star Harry Lawtey portrays Robert Spearing, who embraces the high life a little too keenly and keeps being humiliated by his boss.
He also has a huge crush on fellow graduate Yasmin.
Relative newcomer Myha’la Herrold plays the heroine Harper Stern.
Harper is a fiercely intelligent American graduate with a mysterious background. She clearly isn’t who she says she is!

He also played Christopher Dean in the ITV drama Torvill & Dean.
