The creators of Industry pitched the Season 3 opener to HBO with three words: Coke and boats. We were like, Don't kill us, but this is where we want to start Season 3,' Mickey Down, one of the creators, said in a video call.
The HBO executives did not want to kill them. They were thrilled that the show, which follows a chaotic group of young employees at an investment bank in London and often deals with the more specialized details of finance, was going in a broader direction.
Coke and boats was just one of the ways in which Down and the other creator, Konrad Kay, sought to expand the show, in the new season, Down said. HBO hopes that the wider vision will draw a bigger audience.
Francesca Orsi, head of drama for HBO, said, 'We have high hopes for the show,' adding that if the world embraces Season 3 in the way that we have, both in its critical praise but also its viewership, there's no question that we want to continue moving forward with it.
