«Devils 2»: the first images of Alessandro Borghi and Patrick Dempsey from the set

The clothes do not even have a fold and the eyes are tense and concentrated, well aware that a trifle, a moment of hesitation, the blink of an eye more sudden than another could be enough to reveal one’s cards and put an end to the game. After the success of the first season, Devils, the financial thriller produced by Sky Italia and Lux ​​Vide with Big Light Productions and made in collaboration with Sky Studios, Orange Studio and OCS, warms up for a second season that will once again see Alessandro Borghi and Patrick Dempsey as protagonists. Filming is still underway in Rome, and will soon move to London, the privileged setting of the story. As we know, the new episodes of Devils, which kind of like The Handmaid’s Tale they will no longer have a book to start with, that is Devils by Guido Maria Brera, will kick off in 2016, with Brexit just around the corner.

Four years have passed since Massimo Ruggero managed to thwart Dominic Morgan’s plan against the euro by choosing to remain CEO of NYL. With great skepticism of the directors and trusting the instinct that almost never betrayed him, Massimo decided to take a series of actions to ensure that China becomes one of the new investors of the team. At this point, however, it is his old mentor Dominic who returns to warn him: the new Chinese partners are ready to betray him to pursue a silent war between China and the US for the technological control of the data of millions of people, and Massimo must be very careful about how to play his cards. The question of whether to trust Dominic or to continue on his way will be one of the fundamental points of Devils 2, the series that had the merit of bringing the Olympus of high finance to the center of a surgical narrative, meticulous and framed in the cold light of offices that never sleep.

We could not help thinking of a sequel, which we are happy to formalize today and which sees the confirmation of two great talents like Borghi and Dempsey “he declared Nils Hartmann, Senior Director Original Production Sky Italia.
