While it was recently announced that Girls star Zosia Mamet will star as wellness tech founder and CEO Carmen Dame, it's now been revealed that Downton Abbey and Silo actor Jessica Brown Findlay and Glee star Dianna Agron are among a number of familiar British and American faces to be joining the fold too.
The full list of new additions announced by HBO includes Sam Riley (Mint), Cary Elwes (The Princess Bride), Luke Manley (Marty Supreme), Bally Gill (Slow Horses) and Eduard Poliakov (On Drive).
Their roles also give us an exciting insight into what's to come in the fifth and final instalment of Industry.

Brown Findlay will appear as Marina St Clair, said to be a family friend of Kit Harington's Sir Henry Muck, while Gill plays charismatic left-wing politician Nikesh Shah. Manley will star as execution trader Stevie Delmonte and, finally, Poliakov plays trader Olexij Kovalchuk.
