Industry season 3: Release date, trailers, and latest news for BBC drama

Well, the eight-part series premieres on BBC One tonight (Tuesday 1st October) but for all the avid fans out there, it's all available to binge-watch on iPlayer as we speak.

The new season – like the previous two – has certainly gotten everyone talking once again, not least because of its stellar returning cast and some very familiar brand-new characters.

Game of Thrones's Kit Harington is set to star as CEO of a green tech company named Sir Henry Muck, who Harrington exclusively told RadioTimes.com is "entitled, but that doesn't make him inhuman", but also a "breath of fresh air" to play.

Harrington also revealed that his new character is "molded" from "various people" he's met in life, saying: "People I've come into contact with, people you meet at weddings."

So, just when exactly can we expect Industry season 3 to land on our screens? Read on for everything you need to know.

4. White Mischief - Deeply in debt with a new home and baby, Rishi takes a massive gamble after a surprise visit from an old friend. Later, with his luck running out both at home and work, Rishi engages in another high-risk, high-reward opportunity that could threaten his job at Pierpoint.
5. Company Man - After being summoned by a government select committee, Robert worries he’s become a pawn in a much larger battle between very powerful entities. Meanwhile, Sweetpea shares a theory with Eric that could mark the beginning of the end for Pierpoint.

What will Industry season 3 be about?

The new season is another pressure cooker of a watch, further digging deep into the chaotic world of international bank Pierpoint & Co’s London office. The ending of Industry season 2 saw Harper (Herrold) shockingly fired for falsifying her educational background on her CV to land a job at Pierpoint, which will likely have some serious impact on season 3.

The official synopsis teases: "In season three, as Pierpoint looks to the future and takes a big bet on ethical investing, Yasmin, Robert, and Eric find themselves front and centre in the splashy IPO of Lumi, a green tech energy company led by Sir Henry Muck, in a story that runs all the way to the very top of finance, media, and government.

"Since leaving Pierpoint, Harper is eager to get back into the addictive thrill of finance and finds an unlikely partner in FutureDawn portfolio manager Petra Koenig."

So, it seems there are some major stories ahead both inside and outside of Pierpoint.

Season 3 is set to carry on in the same tense vein with the scope of the new season expanding to include more topical issues, with the likes of COVID-19, Brexit and more referenced throughout the first two seasons.

Speaking to Digital Spy about season 3, writer and consulting producer on season 3 Joseph Charlton said: "I think it's fair to say the series won't shy away from acknowledging the real world, and things that are present in the news. I think what's unique and good about the show… in the first series, there are references to Brexit. In the second series, there's COVID. In the third series, there'll be contemporary issues, too."

Industry season 3 trailers

Yes! Two trailers have been released now for the show's third season.

Then, on 24th July 2024, a newer trailer puts Yasmin's mind games and complicated relationship with Henry to the fore.
