The official synopsis for Industry season 2 explains that the series “gives an insider’s view of the blackbox of high finance following a group of young bankers as they forge their identities within the pressure cooker environment and sex and drug fueled blitz of international bank Pierpoint & Co’s London office.”

“The market is ripping, and Pierpoint’s back to work or else mandate has the trading floor more charged up and paranoid than ever. New U.S. management will be gasoline on the flames - an injection of cross Atlantic energy that lights a fire under each and every employee.”

Myha’la Herrold plays Harper Stern, one of the recent graduates vying for a job at Pierpoint. Herrold worked primarily in theatre before joining the cast of Industry, though you may also recognise her from an episode of Amazon’s anthology series Modern Love. She can next be seen in the black comedy horror film Bodies, Bodies, Bodies.

Marisa Abela plays Yasmin Kara-Hanani, an ambitious graduate from a wealthy background. Abela has also starred in Sky’s political thriller COBRA, and can next be seen in Greta Gerwig’s Barbie movie.

Yes, there is! On October 25 2022, HBO and production company Bad Wolf confirmed that a third series of Industry had entered development.

“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,” said Kathleen McCaffrey, senior vice president of HBO Programming. “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.”

Why should I watch Industry?

It’s one to watch if you enjoy dramas about the intense worlds of finance (think things like Succession or Billions) or shows about young people and their excesses (think something like Lena Dunham’s Girls).

My friend Mevrick is a big fan of Industry too, on the off chance you happen to know him and think he’s a trustworthy source of recommendations.
