"This time, the drama steps beyond the fluorescent glow of Pierpoint's trading floor and into a broader, more unsettling social landscape. Whilst capitalism is, of course, still the driving force behind each storyline, season 4 is more attuned to the power structures that orbit it. This time, Industry unfolds as a sharp, uncomfortable on-the-nose commentary of modern politics, media, technocrats and the seemingly-immovable aristocracy of British society. It's still sweaty-palm television, but with an even more sinister edge."
"Despite the show's fixation on the City of London, much of Industry is actually filmed in Wales, with Cardiff serving as its primary production base. Across the series, locations have included Cardiff Bay's Oval Basin, Penarth Pier, and the grand Tredegar House in Newport, all of which appear on screen as various stand-ins for London, or for unnamed suburbs which house the private worlds of the ultra-wealthy."
Industry season 4 centers on Harper Stern and Yasmin Kara-Hanani as they navigate intensified power dynamics within high finance and elite British society. The series shifts setting from glass towers, sleek bars and late-night offices to drawing rooms, golf courses and country estates, broadening the scope beyond corporate trading floors. Capitalism remains a driving force, but storylines emphasize surrounding power structures and offer a sharp commentary on modern politics, media, technocrats and the aristocracy. The tone grows darker and more sinister while retaining tense, sweaty-palm drama. Production uses Cardiff and Welsh locations as stand-ins for London, with selective London exteriors for grounding.
