Netflix hit film Bank of Dave has a new sequel with familiar faces returning again for the new film.
The 2023 flick shared the story of businessman Dave Fishwick (Rory Kinnear), who set up a community bank in his home town in Lancashire to lend money to people struggling to secure loans from bigger banks.
The true-ish story was number one on Netflix’s most streamed movies for a brief period after the film first appeared on the streaming platform in 2023.
Now Bank of Dave 2: The Loan Ranger sees Dave Fishwick (Rory Kinnear) take on an even more dangerous and formidable opponent than the big banks – payday loan companies. With an American investigative reporter and a local Citizen’s Advice counsellor, the group embark on a journey that will eventually take them to the United States and help bring down an entire industry of predatory corporations.
Filming took place in Burnley, Leeds and Huddersfield in 2024 after the real-life Dave Fishwick insisted the film stay in Burnley.
Bank of Dave 2: The Loan Ranger will be released worldwide on Netflix on Friday (January 10), nut who stars in the sequel?
