The Fictitious Capital of HBO's Industry

In the fourth season of Industry, everyone has a story to sell: a neutered fund or loveless marriage, shamed husbands, a life aimless after retirement, a payment-processing firm hampered by its ties to porn and sex work. These labels seem to indicate mistaken priorities or misplaced trust. But they are just narratives to be refined or redefined. Everything is up for grabs if you tell the right story.

How 'Industry' Season 4 Uses Its Sets to Portray the Dark Side of Wealth

We're literally representing every single aspect of UK life. Unlike other series that focused on wealth and power with tantalizing sets to match—Succession, most recently—there's usually a darker, colder sheen to the environs of Industry. Each character is depicted in their own environments more often than previous seasons, just as the scripts reveal deeper and more intimate layers of the characters. The spaces on screen align with their interiority and they're less gleaming penthouse than tarnished mansion.
