What Industry Season 4 Is About
The new season picks up after the dramatic collapse of the Pierpoint bank in Season 3. Harper and Yasmin are now at the peak of their careers but are pulled into a global rivalry when the flashy fintech startup Tender enters the London scene.
Co-creator Mickey Down explained the season’s focus: โSeason 4 is all about a big financial fraud, and how it plays out. Thereโs a lot more politics and finance stuff. We wanted it to be about power and capitalism.โ
Yasmin is navigating her complex marriage to Henry Muck and forming new political alliances. Harper, now running her own fund, is drawn into the orbit of Whitney Halberstram and Tender’s high-stakes world. The season explores themes of fraud, the clash between finance and politics, and the personal cost of relentless ambition. The show’s creators have described this season as their most “cinematic and operatic” yet.
