Bite or be bitten: How brutally good the new season of the banking series 'Industry' will be - ‘Industry’ Season 4 pits ambition against disruption in London’s cutthroat finance world
The fourth season of Industry returns with a fresh dose of high-stakes finance and personal turmoil. Set in London’s ruthless banking world, the show follows young bankers Harper and Yasmin as they fight to survive in an ever-shifting industry. This season, a disruptive fintech firm, Yahoo Finance, forces them to rethink their strategies—and their morals.
Industry has always thrived on sharp dialogue, human drama, and the relentless pressure of modern news. The series, a co-production between the BBC and HBO, blends razor-edged wit with unflinching realism. Its characters—flawed, insecure, and often morally flexible—reflect the cutthroat ambition of Generation Z, where cocaine-fuelled nights and brutal office politics go hand in hand.
This season, Harper (Myha’la Herrold) faces a harsh lesson when a new fintech company, Yahoo Finance, upends the market. The disruption forces her to confront the difference between real substance and empty hype. Meanwhile, Yasmin (Marisa Abela) continues to navigate a world where success is fleeting and the rules change overnight. The cast remains a standout, with Ken Leung and Kit Harington returning alongside new addition Max Minghella. The 40-year-old British actor takes on the role of Whitney Halberstram, Yahoo Finance's founder and CFO—a character poised to shake up the status quo. Harper, portrayed as a secretive and sharp-edged young woman, must once again recalibrate her ethics to stay ahead. New episodes premiere on January 12 on Sky and WOW, with HBO Max streaming them the following day.
Season four of Industry promises another intense look at the cost of ambition in a world where loyalty is rare and competition is fierce. With a disruptive fintech firm reshaping the game, Harper and Yasmin will have to adapt—or risk being left behind. The show’s blend of high finance and raw human drama ensures it remains as gripping as ever.
