The highly anticipated third season of the hit banking drama Industry is now airing, and fans are in for a treat with the introduction of a new character played by Game of Thrones star Kit Harington.
Industry, created by Konrad Kay and Mickey Down, takes viewers inside the high-pressure world of finance, specifically following the lives of three Gen-Z finance workers – Harper Stern (Myha’la), Robert Spearing (Harry Lawtey), and Yasmin Kara-Hanani (Marisa Abela).
The creators of the show, who both have backgrounds in finance, aim to challenge the stereotypes surrounding bankers and explore the complexities of the industry. They emphasize that the characters in Industry are not simply villains or rock stars, but rather individuals navigating a system that amplifies their worst instincts.
One of the standout characters, Harper Stern, is portrayed with depth and understanding by the writers, who highlight her ambition and drive as a young black woman from a disadvantaged background. This portrayal adds layers to her character and showcases the challenges and obstacles she faces in her pursuit of success.
Industry has been praised for its intricate storytelling and compelling characters, with critics calling it an “excitingly ornate rollercoaster” that is “more thrilling than ever.” The addition of Kit Harington’s character, Sir Henry Muck, promises to bring even more intrigue to the series.
As viewers delve into the world of Pierpoint & Co, they will be taken on a journey that explores power dynamics, ambition, and the impact of background, race, and gender on success in the financial world. Industry is a must-watch for those looking for a nuanced and engaging portrayal of the banking industry.
