Back in 2016, British actor Damian told The Guardian that he thinks a lot of powerful hedge fund managers are ‘misunderstood.’
‘I think very few people still understand the distinction between CEOs on Wall Street and the hedge-fund billionaires operating separately,’ Damian said.
Speaking about the show, he added that that show explores the personality types of powerful people in society.
‘It’s as much a study of people as of kings and kingdoms,’ he said.
He added: ‘A study of what personality types tend to win these positions in our society – and what they’re prepared to do to keep themselves there.’
The new season is set to be released on Stan on May 3.
