Black Monday is the story of the worst stock market crash in Wall Street history, which occurred on Monday, Oct. 19, 1987. The series stars Don Cheadle as Mo, the head of a ragtag Wall Street trading team that includes Regina Hall as Dawn, Paul Scheer as Keith, Horatio Sanz as Wayne and Yassir Lester as Yassir. The first episode sees Andrew Rannells join the group as Blair, a green young trader who immediately dives into the deep end and ends up over his head.
