Industry’s first season was a rare and seismic television event that united culture journalists and finance bros alike. United, that is, in their jaw-clenching displeasure, induced by the antics of the show’s characters. The banking drama’s sophomore season was an easy follow-up—sewing back together the detritus left by the Season 1 finale, and then quickly unravelling it again. New characters brought new rivalries, further splitting the atoms of this ragtag group of graduates at the London HQ of investment bank Pierpoint & Co.
Happily, Season 3 is very much on the way – and with a certain Game of Thrones alum now added to the fold. Watch the trailer below.
Who’s in the cast of Industry Season 3?
Series regulars will be returning—namely, Harper (Myha’la Herrold), Robert (Harry Lawtey), Yasmin (Marisa Abela), and Eric (Ken Leung)—with the addition of Kit Harington, who will be fresh from his run in Jeremy O. Harris’s Slave Play, which opens in the West End this summer. Harington will be joining as the comically named Henry Muck, the head of a green tech energy firm Lumi Co. Also joining: Miriam Petche as Sweetpea Golightly, Andrew Cavill as Lord Norton, Roger Barclay as Otto Mostyn, Fady Elsayed as Ali El Mansour, and Fiona Button as Denise Oldroyd.
What’s the plot of Industry Season 3?
At the end of Season 2 we saw plans derailed (Harper, Eric, Rishi, and DVD’s effort to ditch Pierpoint), old wounds reopened (Yasmin confronted her philandering father), and professional lives shattered (Eric ratted out Harper for having faked her academic credentials, meanwhile Yas and Robert want to leave Pierpoint, but can’t).
As for Season 3? Take it from the horse’s mouth: “As Pierpoint looks to the future and takes a big bet on ethical investing, Yasmin, Robert, and Eric find themselves front and center in the splashy IPO of Lumi, a green tech energy company led by the British aristocrat Sir Henry Muck, the embodiment of ‘old money’ privilege. Since leaving Pierpoint, Harper is eager to get back into the addictive thrill of finance and finds an unlikely partner in FutureDawn portfolio manager Petra Koenig.”
When will Industry Season 3 be released?
HBO viewers can watch the new season at 9:00 p.m. on Sundays from August 11. (It will also, of course, stream on Max.)
