Industry Star Swaps Banking for The Celebrity Traitors

As BBC One’s The Celebrity Traitors returns to Ardross Castle for series two, one contestant is already getting viewers talking. Here is everything you need to know about American actress Myha’la—from her breakout TV roles to why she wants to be a Traitor.

With Claudia Winkleman back at the helm for a brand-new series of The Celebrity Traitors, 21 famous faces are preparing to enter the iconic Scottish Highlands castle.

Among the high-profile line-up—which includes Michael Sheen, Bella Ramsey, and Maya Jama—is acclaimed actress Myha’la. But who is she, what has she starred in before, and why does she think she’s built for the Round Table?

What Is Myha’la Best Known For?

Myha’la (formerly credited as Myha’la Herrold) is best known for playing the ruthless, ambitious ambition-driven trader Harper Stern in the hit BBC and HBO financial drama Industry.

Since taking on the lead role in Industry in 2020, the California-born star has quickly become one of the most compelling talents on television.

Beyond Industry, Myha’la has built an impressive roster of film and TV credits, including:

• Black Mirror (2023) – Played Pia in the acclaimed episode “Loch Henry”.

Why Is Myha’la on The Celebrity Traitors?

“This is like my dream. When the announcement came out with the lineup, friends were messaging, “You literally said you wanted to be on this show. That’s so good” because everyone knows I’m obsessed! I love this game” she says

“I think my biggest strength will be my authenticity. I do really wear my heart on my sleeve, and I love making friends and being sweet to people. I just do. Biggest weakness, I think, is that I will be having way too much fun. I’m afraid that I’m going to be too trusting, making too many friends. I feel like I’m really going to have to lock in and not blow my own cover”.

Entering Ardross Castle requires a mix of poker-faced deception and sharp intuition—skills Myha’la feels she has honed on screen. However, the actress admitted she expects her most famous character to influence how fellow contestants perceive her.
