‘Industry’ Season 3 Teaser: Harper May Not Be Done with Pierpoint After All
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.

IndieWire TV critic Ben Travers attended the ATX TV Festival, where “Industry” Season 3 premiered to “gasps and applause.” Kay and Down followed the screening with a Q&A; the word “intense” came up a lot.
Travers reviewed (the first four episodes of) Season 1 of “Industry” in November 2020.
“‘Industry’ has a natural, laid back rhythm in place. It looks slick, like a British ‘Margin Call,’ and the cast seems more than capable to carry whatever they’re given — they just need more to do, and so does the show,” he wrote at the time.
Travers gave the series a B- and did not review Season 2.
