Industry has been one of the BBC's biggest hits of recent years, charting the careers of several fictional investment bankers as they join Pierpoint & Co in the city of London. The show hasn't held back from its depiction of the industry with raunchy sex scenes and clips of characters taking drugs. One of the show's breakout stars is Myha'la Herrold, now known simply as Myha'la, who plays Harper Stern. The character initially presented as unassuming and underestimated, but as the series has progressed, their ruthless and manipulative streaks have been shown as she attempts to thrive in the industry.

The show is expected to return in January 2026, and speaking to the Radio Times, Myha'la was coy about what fans could expect when the show does return. When asked if she could share any spoilers, she laughed as she replied: "Of course not!" However, she added that the show's no-holds-barred attitude would continue, saying: "No, I think you can expect from Industry what you can always expect from Industry. Drugs, sex, rock and roll. It's going to be great."

What to expect from Industry season 4

Details about the upcoming fourth season are still scant, but following the finale of season 3, it has been hinted that the show could be partially shifting its setting from London to New York City. In the final episode, Harper secretly partnered with Otto Mostyn (Roger Barclay) to launch a fund dedicated to shorting corrupt companies, with Harper planning to run the operation from the Big Apple. There will also be several new characters joining the cast. Meet the fresh faces below…
