British fans of the BBC Two and HBO series Industry are irritated that show's new season is already being shown in the United States, while they don't even know when it will be available in the United Kingdom. The series is a co-production between the BBC and HBO. It debuted on November 9, 2020 on HBO in the United States, and on November 10, 2020 on BBC Two in the UK. It chronicles the fortunes of a group of young graduates as they vie for permanent positions at Pierpoint & Co, a distinguished London investment bank.
T\he co-creators of the series, Konrad Kay and Mickey Down, both have backgrounds in the cutthroat world of finance. Therefore, it is not surprising that Industry is cynical and controversial. It also very popular with many viewers.
The second season of Industry was released in August 2022 The series was renewed for an eight-episode third season, which premiered in the United States on August 11, 2024. Fans in the UK are disappointed and annoyed that they won't be able to watch the new season for a while. An air date has not even been confirmed yet. British viewers were only informed that "Industry season three will be available to stream in the US from 11 August and on the BBC in the UK later in the year."
On HBO, Industry now gets a coveted Sunday night slot, replacing House of the Dragon, which just completed its second season. Francesca Orsi, head of drama for HBO stated, "We have high hopes tor the show. She said that if "the world embraces Season 3 in the way that we have, both in its critical praise but also its viewership, there's no question that we want to continue moving forward with it."
For its third season, Industry is presenting a wider vision, which it hopes will attract larger audiences The show is not restricting itself to events directly involving Pinepoint & Co. It is moving beyond the financial happenings on the trading floor. The new season begins with a flashback to hedonistic party on a luxury yacht. It features a drug-induced hallucination sequences, plus several mysteries and deaths. The storylines are more complex and there is wider range of tones and filming maneuvers.
For the third season, there is also an important addition to the cast of Industry - English actor Kit Harrington, known for his starring role as Jon Snow on the HBO series Game of Thrones. Harrington has taken on the role of the aristocratic Henty Muck, Muck operates Lumi a green-tech company. Pierpoint & Co is handling Lumi's initial public offering (IPO).
