Fintech fat cats travel the world in fourth season on HBO By Dana Simpson TV Media

oney makes the world go ‘round. We all know the phrase, but now more than ever, wealth — and the wealth gap — has become a central part of our social and political discourse. In a world where billionaires run everything from marathons to entire countries, there exists, for better or for worse, a cultural obsession with “the haves,” and television remains the perfect medium to explore extreme money-making ventures from the comfort of one’s own couch. This new year, HBO’s hit financial business drama “Industry” begins its fourth season. Don’t miss your chance to buy in when it premieres Sunday, Jan. 11, on HBO and HBO Max. Following the success of other top-rated business series such as “Suits,” “Billions” and “Succession,” “Industry” first hit the screen in November 2020, half a year into the COVID-19 pandemic. Although the show capitalized upon the success of its predecessors and a somewhat captive audience — as many were still staying home to practice social-distancing measures at the time of its premiere — “Industry” made a poignant entry to network and streaming television by mirroring much of the financial uncertainty felt by the general public in the midst of a global crisis. The series follows a group of up-and-coming bankers and financial traders who are hoping to make it big and land the job of a lifetime following another major catastrophe: the 2008 recession. Counting Myha’la (“Leave the World Behind,” 2023), Sagar Radia (“The Good Karma Hospital”), Marisa Abela (“Back to Black,” 2024) and Ken Leung (“Lost”) among the main cast, “Industry” has seen significant growth in viewership since it released its third season in September 2024. “For three seasons, ‘Industry’ has been unflinching in its examination of ambition and class, solidifying itself as a marquee HBO drama,” Francesca Orsi, executive vice-president of HBO Programming and head of HBO drama series and films, wrote in a statement to the media. “Under Mickey [Down] and Konrad [Kay]’s [both of “Hoff the Record”] singular vision, this twisted, thrilling look at London finance has redefined the contemporary workplace show. “We’re so excited that viewers and critics have recognized Season 3 as bigger and better than ever, buoyed by sublime performances from our unparalleled cast.” For those who may not recall, Season 3 ended as (spoilers!) Rishi (Radia) defaulted on his debts to some seedy loan sharks and his wife (Emily Barber, “MobLand”) was murdered in return. As Rishi faced the life-altering consequences of his

Kiernan Shipka in “Industry” pecuniary choices, Yasmin (Abela) accepted a proposal from old money Lumi CEO Henry Muck (Kit Harington, “Game of Thrones”), further solidifying her rise in status by association. Harper (Myha’la), meanwhile, was also on the rise in the Season 3 finale, thanks to her funds secured by Robert’s (Harry Lawtey, “Joker: Folie a Deux,” 2024) godfather, Otto (Roger Barclay, “The Bay”), and her ambition to tackle the American market from her native New York. Robert, too, is stateside, having left the U.K. after one final tryst with Yasmin. And, given that he has now settled in a cushy Silicon Valley job out west, Deadline has confirmed that Lawtey’s character will not be returning for Season 4. Myha’la, Abela, Harington, Radia, Leung and Barclay are all returning, however, as are Miriam Petche (“The Worst Witch”) and Andrew Havill (“The King’s Speech,” 2010). As for what the future of the series has in store for fans of the show, writer-creators Down and Kay told Elle that they have “broadened the canvas again,” claiming that the eight-episode season “should make for the most compulsively watchable week-to-week viewing experience we’ve presented since we first aired.”

In the same Elle exclusive interview, the pair noted that the new plot points have “slotted seamlessly into the ‘Industry’ universe” and “made it feel richer than ever.” Per the official logline: “At the top of their game and living the lives they set out to have as Pierpoint grads, Harper and Yasmin are drawn into a high-stakes, globetrotting catand-mouse game when a splashy fintech darling bursts onto the London scene. As Yasmin navigates her relationship with tech founder Sir Henry Muck and Harper is pulled into the orbit of enigmatic executive Whitney Halberstram [Max Minghella, “The Social Network,” 2010], their twisted friendship begins to warp and ignite under the pressure of money, power and the desire to be on top.” Toheeb Jimoh (“Ted Lasso”), Charlie Heaton (“Stranger Things”), Amy James-Kelly (“Safe”), Kiernan Shipka (“Chilling Adventures of Sabrina”), Kal Penn (“Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle,” 2004), Jack Farthing (“Spencer,” 2021), Stephen Campbell Moore (“The Bank Job,” 2008), Claire Forlani (“Departure”) and Edward Holcroft (“Kings-

man: The Secret Service,” 2014) also star in Season 4. “We have no doubt that Mickey [Down] and Konrad [Kay], alongside the amazing team under executive producer Jane Tranter [“Succession”] at Bad Wolf and executive producer Kathleen McCaffrey [for Little Gems], will take Season 4 to even greater heights,” said Orsi. Kate Crowther (“Wanderlust”) and Ryan Rasmussen (“His Dark Materials”) executive produce with Tranter for Bad Wolf, while Rebecca Ferguson (“Doctor Who”) executive produces for BBC. Down and Key serve as series directors, as do Michelle Savill (“Sex Education”) and Luke Snellin (“Feel Good”). Be sure to invest in Season 4 of “Industry” when it premieres Sunday, Jan. 11, on HBO and HBO Max.
