HBO has announced the renewal of its drama series Industry for a fourth season. Created by Mickey Down and Konrad Kay, the series, produced by Bad Wolf, takes a behind-the-scenes look at the world of high finance in London, where sex, drugs and all-consuming career ambitions come together. Broadcast since 2020, this original series has quickly established itself as an intense, realistic portrait of young bankers at the prestigious firm Pierpoint & Co, struggling to make their mark in a ruthless world. With actors such as Myha'la Herrold, Marisa Abela, Harry Lawtey, and Ken Leung, Industry captivates viewers by revealing both the financial and human stakes of the City of London.
In the third season, currently airing on Max, Pierpoint & Co is looking to reinvent its image by investing in more "ethical" companies. This leads them to collaborate with Lumi, a start-up specializing in renewable technologies, founded by the charismatic Henry Muck, played by Kit Harington. While Yasmin (Marisa Abela), Robert (Harry Lawtey) and Eric (Ken Leung) immerse themselves in Lumi's IPO, Harper (Myha'la Herrold), now out of Pierpoint, seeks to recapture the excitement that accompanied her work at the bank. She forms an unexpected relationship with Petra Koenig (Sarah Goldberg), portfolio manager at FutureDawn. The series continues to explore the complex interactions between finance, politics and the media, while highlighting the personal struggles of its protagonists.
Aimed at an adult audience with a passion for psychological intrigue and professional drama, Industry stands out for its gritty, realistic approach to the world of international finance. Fans of series such as Billions or Succession will find the same tension in Industry, while exploring more contemporary themes, such as financial ethics or the impact of new technologies. The series also shines in its exploration of the complex relationships between young professionals in an ultra-competitive environment, where every decision can have massive repercussions on their future.
With its renewal for a fourth season, Industry confirms its success with viewers and its importance in the landscape of contemporary drama series. Following deeply human characters confronted with the challenges of high finance, Mickey Down and Konrad Kay's series continues to explore the underbelly of a fascinating and ruthless world. Season 3, which ends on September 30, promises to open up new perspectives for the characters and set the scene for an even more ambitious Season 4.
