HBO is doubling down on the stressful world finance thanks to its Season 4 renewal of “Industry.” The network gave the thumbs up as there are still two episodes to go in the eight-episode Season 3.

“Industry” has long been a cult hit for HBO, but this year the series really took off. So far, the drama is averaging 1.6 million viewers per an episode, which marks a 40% viewership increase compared to Season 2. Viewership for the series over these past five weeks has ranked among the drama’s top five weeks ever. Additionally, social conversations around the series were two times higher than last season and have grown by double digits each week.

This bump may have been impacted by the new Sunday night time slot for “Industry” or the intense push the network gave “Industry” during the final season of “Succession” last year.

“For three seasons, ‘Industry’ has been unflinching in its examination of ambition and class,...

“Industry” has been renewed for Season 4 at HBO. The news comes less than two weeks before the Season 3 finale, which is scheduled to air on Sept. 29.

“For three seasons, ‘Industry’ has been unflinching in its examination of ambition and class, solidifying itself as a marquee HBO drama,” said Francesca Orsi, executive vice president of HBO Programming and head of HBO drama series and films. “Under Mickey and Konrad’s singular vision, this twisted, thrilling look at London finance has redefined the contemporary workplace show. We’re so excited that viewers and critics have recognized season three as bigger and better than ever, buoyed by sublime performances from our unparalleled cast. We have no doubt that Mickey and Konrad, alongside the amazing team under executive producer Jane Tranter at Bad Wolf and executive producer Kathleen McCaffrey, will take season four to even greater heights.”

In a statement Thursday, co-creators Mickey Down and Konrad Kay said: “We are beyond thrilled and grateful to HBO, the incredible team at Bad Wolf and our phenomenal cast and crew for their continued belief in Industry and for allowing us to grow as creators, writers and now directors whilst taking the show to new heights. We can’t wait to dive deeper and deliver the best season yet in season 4.”

Set in the world of high finance, a pressure-cooker environment , the show takes place at international bank Pierpoint & Co’s London office. Harper’s (Myha’la) departure from the firm puts her in an interesting position this season.

Below find more details around the plot and release schedule of Industry and Season 3.

When does Industry Season 3 premiere?

Season 3 of Industry arrives on Max Sunday, August 11 with just the first episode premiering at 9 p.m.

The final two episodes of “Industry” Season 3 are shifting timeslots — at least on linear.

Episodes seven and eight of the third season of “Industry” will still be available at the usual 9 p.m. Et to stream on Max on Sunday, Sept. 22 and Sept. 29. However, on HBO proper, the episodes will not air until 10 p.m., immediately following the new DC miniseries “The Penguin.”

“The Penguin,” which stars Colin Farrell in a reprisal of his role from Matt Reeves’ film “The Batman,” will make its official debut on Thursday, Sept. 19. An encore of the series premiere will air at 9 p.m. on Sept. 22 as well, with the eight-episode show airing on Sundays at 9 p.m. thereafter.

“Industry” Season 3 debuted on HBO and Max on Aug. 11. The British-American series has seen a steady rise in popularity as it has continued. HBO recently announced that this season’s premiere drew an estimated 300,000 viewers across all platforms,...

Industry is heating up on HBO.

The finance drama hit an audience record with the third episode of Season 3, raking in 370,000 cross-platform viewers on Sunday night, according to Nielsen and Warner Bros. Discovery internal viewing figures. The episode, which marked a pivotal moment in Harper’s (Myha’la) career post-Pierpoint, was directed Zoe Wittock.

That’s a strong lift from the 300,000 flat that tuned into the Season 3 premiere the night it aired.

According to HBO, the premiere episode of Season 3 is now tracking around 1.4M viewers, which is significantly ahead of last season, when about 900,000 had tuned into the Season 2 debut in this time frame.

This might seem like small potatoes compared to some of HBO’s other Sunday night fare. Industry took up the mantle in the marquee time slot from House of the Dragon, which saw 8.9M viewers the night of the Season 2 finale.

However, Industry was not expected...

“Succession” may have come to an end last year, but HBO has another high-stakes drama about the corporate universe up its sleeve — and it’s about time you caught up. Welcome to the scandalous, drug-filled and obscenely rich world of “Industry.”

Created by Mickey Down and Konrad Kay, “Industry” largely revolves around the day-to-day stresses at a London-based investment bank called Pierpoint & Co. When you mix giant egos, no sleep and nearly limitless wealth, it doesn’t take much for this series about financial wins and woes to spiral into chaos. The last time audiences caught up with Harper (Myha’la) and Yasmin (Marisa Abela) was two years ago in 2022. Now “Industry” is returning with a new day of the week and a big-name newcomer to the project: “Game of Thrones” star Kit Harington.

Here’s everything you need to know about when and how to watch Season 3.

When does “Industry” Season 3 premiere?...

After nearly two years, “Industry” is back for a third season. And this time around, the HBO drama is chronicling a financial saga that will pull its antiheroes into the upper echelons of the financial, political and media worlds.

Created by Mickey Down and Konrad Kay, “Industry” first premiered in 2020 as a steamy and high-stakes drama about a group of new hires at a top-tier London bank. Not all of those newbies lasted, but Down and Kay have found new ways to dive into this ever-stressful world. This season, they’re diving into the world of ethical investment through a new character played by Kit Harington.

Consider this your guide on who’s who in the cast of “Industry” Season 3.

The BBC has debuted a trailer for the upcoming comedy-drama series ‘We Might Regret.’

The series is inspired by the lives and experiences of its creators Kyla Harris and Lee Getty.

Centring around a new relationship, an impending blended family and an intense female friendship, the series follows Freya (Kyla Harris) a 30-something Canadian artist and tetraplegic. She’s moved to London for Abe (Darren Boyd), a 50-something straight-laced lawyer who thinks he’s the old dog that can learn new tricks.

Freya and Abe’s relationship is a high-speed romance which sees Abe inviting Freya to move into his house before she’s even seen upstairs. Because of Freya’s disability, living together also includes personal assistants (PAs), who are always there – a third person in earshot for every romantic moment and domestic screaming match.

After failing to find the right person for this more than intimate role, Freya...

Kit Harington’s Sir Henry Muck is ready to take his green tech energy company public — or at least he thinks he is — in the new Season Three trailer for Industry.

One person asks.

“You know, ever since Pierpoint put you on this, I feel like my luck has turned,” he says in a...

Sex, drugs, and investment banking. Must mean “Industry” is (finally) back.

In Season 3, Pierpoint & Co. turns toward ethical investing, but probably not for the ethics. Yasmin (Marisa Abela), Robert (Harry Lawtey), and Eric (Ken Leung) are tasked with taking green-tech energy company Lumi, led by Sir Henry Muck (Kit Harington), to the public markets. But before it can IPO, questions about the company’s finances reach the media, and Sir Henry’s pleasant-appearing disposition is overtaken by a much darker personality. Still, there’s nothing like some shirtless handball to blow off some steam.

Meanwhile, Harper (Myha’la) is no longer with Pierpoint, but she’s not out of the game yet. In a lengthy teaser released Tuesday by HBO, it looks like her and Eric may have another go at this whole finance thing. But first, he and Robert have to do some primal screaming.

The exec producer behind BBC comedy-drama We Might Regret This has said his ambition was for a show starring and written by a disabled performer to be “at the very top table of creativity.”

The Office and People Just Do Nothing producer Ash Atalla, whose Roughcut TV outfit is making We Might Regret This in association with Village Roadshow Television, said there has been a tendency for British broadcasters to “use the dry slopes of smaller budget shows or ancillary channels as training progams” when it comes to projects led by disabled people.

Penned by Kyla Harris and Lee Getty, We Might Regret This, on the other hand, is being positioned as a bigger-budget primetime offering for the UK’s national broadcaster, which its backers feel could be a potential awards winner.

“There was always an ambition to make a show that stars a disabled performer sat at the very top table of creativity,...

Exclusive: The BBC has greenlit a comedy-drama about a Canadian tetraplegic moving to London from Stath Lets Flats producer Roughcut TV in association with Village Roadshow Television.

In the Catastrophe-esque We Might Regret This, Freya, played by the show’s co-writer Kyla Harris, moves to the English capital to live with Abe (Killing Eve and Smack the Pony’s Darren Boyd). Abe thinks he’s an old dog that can learn new tricks but Freya requires constant PAs who are always present and, after failing to find the right person for this intimate role, invites chaotic and impulsive best friend Jo (Elena Saurel) to take the job.

The show is inspired by the lives of Harris and co-writer Lee Getty, who said it will be about the “messiest and most joyous lived experiences of friendship, love and disability.”

We Might Regret This was initially reported to be in development as a Channel 4 pilot.

Exclusive: Amazon Freevee will not be moving forward with two of its half-hour scripted pilots, Western and Open Book. Both are currently being shopped elsewhere.

Western is a period comedy developed by Phil Lord and Chris Miller’s Sony TV-based Lord Miller. Pen15 co-creator and star Anna Konkle had been tapped to lead the series.

Exclusive: Elena Saurel (Industry) has been confirmed as a lead opposite Katelyn Tarver in Open Book, Amazon Freevee’s half-hour scripted pilot, inspired by Jessica Simpson’s bestselling memoir, from Tom Kapinos (Californication), Patrick Moran’s Pkm Productions and Amazon Studios.

Described as a propulsive, music-soaked coming-of-age story, Open Book, written by Kapinos, follows pop star Sadie Sparrow’s (Tarver) rise from ingenue to mogul, introducing us to the family, friends, and lovers she collects along the way. Touching on themes of love, friendship, family and sisterhood, relationships, soul connections, Hollywood and the music business, Sadie ultimately comes to embrace herself and the fact that her heart inevitably wants what it wants at every stage of life.

Saurel plays Kat. Dark and cynical with a dry wit and unique wisdom, Kat is Sadie’s older sister and the “black sheep” of the family.
