“Industry” is going to play the long game with the market: HBO has renewed the critically hailed finance drama for a third season following its Season 2 finale on Sept. 19.
Created by former traders Mickey Down and Konrad Kay, who already announced that they began penning the third installment prior to renewal, the London-based series follows young hotshot bankers at the daunting and prestigious international bank, Pierpoint & Co.
In Season 2, the grads can no longer hide behind their apprentice status. Fueled by sex, drugs and morally dubious decisions, Harper (Myha’la Herrold), Yasmin (Marisa Abela) and Robert (Harry Lawtey) must drive new business and make new alliances both in and out of the office as they seek to take every economic advantage in a post-COVID world.
(SPOILER) In a crushing finale for Harper, Eric (Ken Leung) orchestrated her ousting from the bank — of all things, for forging her graduation papers, despite the fact that she had helped Jessie “Mr. Covid” Bloom (Jay Duplass) via insider trading. The season’s ending leaves room to explore a ripe new dynamic for Harper’s heedless ambition.
“INDUSTRY reached new heights in season two, cementing its status as a buzzy hit with addictive storytelling, layered characters, a breakneck pace, and keen observations about contemporary workplace dynamics,” Kathleen McCaffrey, senior vice president of HBO Programming, said in a statement. “We’re incredibly proud of what Mickey and Konrad, Jami O’Brien, Jane Tranter and the team at Bad Wolf, together with our entire cast and crew, accomplished. We couldn’t be more excited to continue our journey with them into season three.”
“Industry” Season 2 is created, written and executive produced by Mickey Down & Konrad Kay and written and executive produced by O’Brien. The series is a Bad Wolf Production for HBO/BBC and is executive produced by Tranter, David P. Davis, Ryan Rasmussen and BBC’s Ben Irving. Edo Ferretti produces. Additional writers include Matthew Barry, Zara Meerza, Joseph Charlton and Charly Evon Simpson. Directors include Birgitte Stærmose, Isabella Eklöf and Caleb Femi.
The first two seasons of “Industry” are now streaming on HBO Max.
