What The Suits Are Saying
In October when “Industry” was renewed, Kathleen McCaffrey, Senior VP of HBO programming had this to say about the show:
“Industry reached new heights in season two, cementing its status as a buzzy hit with addictive storytelling — 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.”
Joseph Charlton, one of the main writers for the show, confirmed that season 3 would feature new characters, and casting for the new roles was ongoing.
What To Expect from Season Three of “Industry”
Season Three of “Industry” is set to go bigger, focusing on the bigger picture of how a bank works within society beyond office and the workplace.
The New Faces of “Industry”
Kit Harrington is the newest cast member set to join the show as Henry Muck. Characters from the previous season are expected to return, such as Myha’la Herrold, Ken Leung, and Jay Duplass, to name a few.
More Than Just Ethical Investing
“Industry” season three will feature a green-tech energy company that is looking to go public. This is following Pierpoint’s aim of taking a large bet on ethical investing. Given the show’s focus on being critical of the value systems in place that allow for the display of capitalist needs, it is unlikely that we should call Henry Muck an ethical man.
Expanding the Universe Beyond Pierpoint & Co.
In season three, we can expect to see how the bosses and the bosses’ bosses operate and how a large investment bank fits into society as a whole.
What Will Happen to Harper?
Harper, the erratic genius and investment prodigy, was discovered in series two for forging her college credentials and was ousted by her former mentor, Eric. Her fate is unknown, and anything is possible for the comeback queen.
Contemporary Issues That the Show Might Address in Season Three
- Fraud charges could come to the forefront,
- Sexual politics in the workplace may be addressed,
- The show might explore how big tech affects society at large, especially in developing nations,
- Environmental disaster or issues,
- COVID-19 pandemic and a world still grappling with it,
The Bottom Line
“Industry”’s blend of complex issues and dynamic characters makes it one of the most vibrant and engaging dramas of our time. Season 3 is set to shake things up and offer more critical takes on contemporary issues and the value systems in place that allow them to exist. The show is focused on showing an authentic portrayal of what goes on behind closed doors in banks, and we eagerly await the characters’ successes and downfalls of Season Three.
