A New Corporate Arena and Higher Stakes
Season 3 ended with major shifts for the main characters. Harper was fired from the investment bank Pierpoint but had started a new fund, while Yasmin became engaged to the controversial tech billionaire Sir Henry Muck . The new season moves the action beyond the familiar trading floor.
The official story description states that Harper and Yasmin are drawn into a “high-stakes, globetrotting cat-and-mouse game” when a “splashy fintech darling” called Tender arrives on the London finance scene . Tender is a payment processing company seeking massive growth, and its executives will pull Harper and Yasmin into their orbits .
The show’s creators, Mickey Down and Konrad Kay, say this season expands the show’s scope to look at the impacts of capitalism “beyond the investment floor” and is influenced by conspiracy and erotic thrillers .
Breaking Down the Season 4 Teaser
The first-look teaser is set to the haunting tune of Nina Simone’s “Lilac Wine” and focuses on mood over plot . It shows quick flashes of luxurious parties, tense confrontations, and moments of violence, suggesting the personal and professional dangers ahead .
A key moment in the teaser is a charged exchange between Harper and Yasmin. Yasmin asks, “Will you look after me tonight?” to which Harper pointedly replies, “When the f**k are you gonna look after me?” . This hints that their complex friendship will be central to the new season’s drama.
Other brief scenes show Yasmin holding Henry’s bloody hand in a car and Henry dancing intimately with another man . The visuals reinforce a world where power dynamics are constantly shifting and nothing is stable.
