"At the end of Season 3, all signs pointed to "Industry," if renewed, journeying to the U.S. for Season 4, as two of the three series leads seemed set on moving their business across the Atlantic. In the finale, Harper (Myha'la) discussed setting up her new fund in New York, and Robert (Harry Lawtey) was in Silicon Valley raising money for his psilocybin mushroom venture."
"Since Season 1, the series has shot in Cardiff, Wales, where the combination of tax breaks and lower-than-London costs keeps the production one of HBO's cheapest Sunday night shows ever - the creators telling IndieWire the production budget went unchanged from Season 1 to 3, even as its popularity grew. Kay and Downs said they long to shoot in New York City and considered doing one episode there for Season 4, but the problem goes beyond practicality and cost."
""There was a discussion. It was a very short discussion with the powers that be," said Downs. "I could just say the show is a London-based show. It's about Americans in London. It's through that lens. But really there's a financial component, a budgetary constraint component to it." New York aside, shooting in London is even too expensive for "Industry.""
Season 4 of Industry remains set in London's financial world despite Season 3 plotlines suggesting U.S. moves for some characters. The series added three American characters but maintains a focus on Americans living and working in London. There was a short discussion about relocating production to America, but budgetary constraints and production logistics kept the show based in the UK. Filming has taken place in Cardiff, Wales since Season 1, using tax breaks and lower costs to keep the production budget unchanged across Seasons 1–3 despite growing popularity. Season 4 deepens the exploration of the rigid British class system atop society.
