“Industry” is a cult hit whose popularity has grown exponentially in Season 3. According to HBO, Season 3 viewership is pacing nearly 40% ahead of Season 2 with an average of 1.6M viewers per episode and growing. Social conversations are tracking over 2X higher than last season while growing by double-digits each week.
The series did not receive any attention from the Emmys in its first two seasons, but its increased profile and rapturous critical praise (it has a 96% “Fresh” rating on Rotten Tomatoes) in Season 3 could put it in the conversation next year for Best Drama Series, writing, directing, casting, and acting nods for the leads, Harington, and supporting actor Sagar Radia.
“For three seasons, ‘Industry’ has been unflinching in its examination of ambition and class, solidifying itself as a marquee HBO drama,” Francesca Orsi, Executive Vice President, HBO Programming, Head of HBO Drama Series and Films, said in a statement announcing the renewal. “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.”
“Industry” airs Sunday nights at 9/8c on HBO and is available to stream on Max.
