"It's time to clock back in to Industry. The acclaimed high-stakes drama about young financial bankers in London returns to HBO for its fourth season. This year, the show is expanding beyond mere ROIs but a wider world of financial tech, porn, and even politics. In season 4, Myha'la's Harper Stern is flying higher than she's ever been. Now a fund manager at Pierpoint (according to Myha'la in an interview with The Daily Beast), Harper's stock is visibly going up and up."
"This season, the drama surrounds the (fictional) fintech company Tender, whose primary revenue comes from processing payments for the OnlyFans-like platform Siren. Amid new age verification laws and anti-porn sentiment from the Labour Party in the UK, Tender considers going clean with its money. But the consequences of doing so aren't so simple. Just as it's happening in our real world, Industry is exploring the fragility of free speech and how money, of all things, is tied up with it."
Industry's fourth season follows Harper Stern as she advances to a fund manager role at Pierpoint while a major financial fraud unfolds around the fictional fintech firm Tender. Tender processes payments for the OnlyFans-like platform Siren and faces regulatory pressure from new age-verification laws and anti-porn sentiment within the Labour Party. Tender's consideration of cleaning its revenue stream creates complex consequences that implicate power, capitalism, and the fragility of free speech tied to financial influence. The season brings expanded focus on politics and finance and introduces several guest stars involved in Tender's turmoil.
