Industry season 3 cuts element of sex scene for BBC broadcast
UK fans will be seeing a very slightly altered version than the one that was shown on HBO.
While fans in the UK will soon get to see the third season of Industry, after it has finished airing on HBO in the US, it turns out they will in fact be seeing a slightly different version than the one broadcast state-side.
RadioTimes.com understands that, while no full scenes have been cut from the version of the show broadcast in the US, one sex scenes has been slightly altered to remove a shot of an erect penis.
Fans of the drama series will by this point know that it includes sex scenes, and the show is in a post-watershed slot when it is shown on BBC One.
This season of the show has received particular critical acclaim in the US during its run, leading to an early renewal for season 4.
As the series was renewed, co-creators Mickey Down and Konrad Kay said in a statement: "We are beyond thrilled and grateful to HBO, the incredible team at Bad Wolf and our phenomenal cast and crew for their continued belief in Industry and for allowing us to grow as creators, writers and now directors whilst taking the show to new heights.
"We can’t wait to dive deeper and deliver the best season yet in season 4."
