Summary

"Industry" is a financial thriller drama television series created by former investment bankers Mickey Down and Konrad Kay, and co-produced by HBO in the United States and BBC Two in the United Kingdom. The show follows the personal and professional lives of a group of young graduates who join Pierpoint & Co, a prestigious investment bank in London; later series expand the narrative to encompass the wider UK financial sector and its governing bodies. It features an ensemble cast led by Myha'la, Marisa Abela, Ken Leung, Harry Lawtey, and David Jonsson, with additional leading roles played by Sagar Radia and Kit Harington in later seasons, respectively. The series has been praised throughout its run for its writing, performances, direction, and its accurate portrayal of the banking sector, with the third and fourth series in particular receiving widespread acclaim. It has been renewed for a fifth and final series. Series co-creators, writers, directors, and executive producers Mickey Down & Konrad Kay were kind enough to spend some time talking with us about their work and experience making the fourth season of the show, which you can listen to below.
