He gets to the top, only to find himself threatened by a conspiracy led by longtime rival Matías Zambrano (Gabriel Golty).

'Rivals' Season 2
The battle over the Central South West TV franchise intensifies. Season 2 sees the battle between the independent company Corinium and corporate monolith Venturer reaching dangerous new heights, with Tony Baddingham (David Tennant) growing even more ruthless as he works to destroy the competition. Still, despite the stakes rising even higher, Tony is ready to risk it all, no matter what, to make sure he gets what he wants with Corinium at the heart of it.

'Deli Boys' season 2
Things get even messier for the Dar family this season with this round of episodes. As it turns out, inheriting a drug empire isn't exactly the easiest thing in the world. Dirty cash continues to pile up and some of Philadelphia’s shadiest people start closing in on both Mir (Asif Ali) and Raj (Saagar Shaikh). As Mir tries to grow the business, Raj is more interested in revenge. At least they've got each other, because being at the top seems a lot more stressful than struggling for cash.
