Highlights from HBO's Industry Season 3

HBO's acclaimed series "Industry" is set to reclaim the coveted Sunday-night slot previously held by giants like "Succession" and "Game of Thrones." The show, which delves into the lives of Gen Z bankers in London’s financial district, juxtaposes high-stakes trading with the characters' indulgent lifestyles, including drug use and office romances. The addition of Kit Harington, known for his role in "Game of Thrones," marks a significant casting move, promising to draw in a wider audience. The series has drawn comparisons to other popular shows, blending elements of wealth critique from "Succession," the rawness of "Euphoria," and the mystery of "White Lotus." Myha’la, a cast member, likened the show to a hybrid of "Euphoria" and "Succession," emphasizing its exploration of sex, drugs, and the harsh realities faced by its characters. As the narrative progresses, the characters evolve, grappling with adult challenges while navigating their complex relationships. The show has matured alongside its characters, who now exhibit a mix of admiration and resentment towards one another. Myha’la noted that the showrunners encouraged her to infuse her own experiences into her character, Yasmin, who has transformed from a timid heiress to a fierce competitor. This season, Yasmin's journey reflects her struggle for independence and power, particularly in her dynamic with Robert, highlighting the show's deeper themes of vulnerability and ambition. As "Industry" returns, it promises to deliver a gripping narrative that resonates with contemporary audiences, showcasing the darker side of ambition and the complexities of modern relationships in a high-pressure environment.
