'Industry' Season 4 drops major release update along with riveting teaser
'Industry' is all set for season 4, and with a gripping teaser to boot, promises more drama in the upcoming instalment. The latest season of the critically acclaimed HBO drama will premiere on January 11 at 9 p.m. ET on the network and its streamer, HBO Max. New episodes of the eight-episode edition will drop weekly. The new trailer also hinted at more secrets and a copious dose of sex and drama in the new season.
The show focuses on the upstart class of young and dynamic investment bankers involved in cutthroat competition for a full-time role at an iconic London-based investment bank. The official logline for the new season reads: "At the top of their game and living the lives they set out to have as Pierpoint grads, Harper (Myha’la) and Yasmin (Marisa Abela) are drawn into a high-stakes, globetrotting cat-and-mouse game when a splashy fintech darling bursts onto the London scene."
"As Yasmin navigates her relationship with tech founder Sir Henry Muck (Kit Harington) and Harper is pulled into the orbit of enigmatic executive Whitney Halberstram (Max Minghella), their twisted friendship begins to warp and ignite under the pressure of money, power, and the desire to be on top."
The series stars Kit Harington, Marisa Abela, Myha’la, Sagar Radia, Toheeb Jimoh, Amy James-Kelly, Roger Barclay, Jack Farthing, Stephen Campbell Moore, Max Minghella, Miriam Petche, Ken Leung, Charlie Heaton, Andrew Havill, Kiernan Shipka, Kal Penn, Claire Forlani, and Edward Holcroft. Penn plays Jay Jonah Atterbury, the CEO and founder, while Minghella essays Whitney Halberstram, Tender’s CFO and founder. Per Yahoo!, Shipka portrays Hayley Clay, an executive assistant at Tender.
'Industry' is created and written Mickey Down and Konrad Kay. They also serve as EPs alongside Kate Crowther, Ryan Rasmussen, Jane Tranter, Rebecca Ferguson, Kathleen McCaffrey, Luke Snellin, and Michelle Savill. The new season arrives a year and a couple of months after a thrilling season 3 finale.
Earlier, Down addressed Harry Lawtey's exit from his role as Robert Spearing ahead of the new season. “We love Robert as a character. We love Harry as an actor. We think he’s going to go into massive things — he already has done," Down told TheWrap. “And it was, I think, a sort of mutual decision that we couldn’t make it work for the time that we had, but also that we had concluded the character. And I think Harry reached his own conclusion."
