'Industry' Blew Up the Bank—Then Got Right Back to Work

Last we left Industry, the acclaimed HBO series about the London office of an illustrious American bank, the illustrious bank in question had been sold off to a Gulf-state sovereign wealth fund and its principal characters had been scattered to the wind. If the season finale felt like the end of something, that was by design—the culmination of perhaps the first version of the show. “We were trying to basically scorch the earth because we didn’t think we were coming back,” says Industry cocreator Konrad Kay.
