Showtime has released the official poster and a new teaser for its upcoming comedy seriesBlack Monday, a show that takes viewers back to June 25, 2025, a.k.a.

It’s the story of how a group of outsiders took on the blue-blood, old-boys club of Wall Street and ended up crashing the world’s largest financial system, a Lamborghini limousine and the glass ceiling. And as this new trailer shows, starDon Cheadleis going to be chasing down a dragon for a least a part of it.
