BBC Industry start time, plot, cast and how many episodes

Following the cutthroat world of international finance is the BBC drama Industry. After airing the first series in 2020 the fast-paced drama is back for a second series on BBC One.

The British/American co-production is moving from BBC Two to BBC One in the UK for series two, which has already aired in the USA. The script is written by people who know exactly what it is like to work in finance as both Mickey Down and Konrad Kay are former finance employees.

The last series ended with the main character Harper Stern facing the fallout from her decision to sell out her colleagues and advance her own career. The second series of Industry was also spotted filming in Cardiff, with many scenes from the first series filmed in the Welsh capital.
