Is there a trailer for Rules of the Game?

Yes, a trailer for Rules of the Game was released at the end of 2021 by the BBC.

Maya first appears, explaining that: “My speciality is changing the work culture for the better”, something which Sam clearly doesn’t seem to agree with.

But later in the teaser, an employee says that 10 years ago a friend of hers died but doesn’t say what happened.

Then when Maya attempts to comfort the woman, saying she would not lose her job if she were to be honest, she says: “They’ll never get rid of me, I know too much”.
