‘Industry’ Season 3 Finale Earns Show Title as the New ‘Succession’

Photo Illustration by Thomas Levinson/The Daily Beast/Getty/HBO

The third season of Industry— the HBO drama that follows the chaotic and cut-throat lives of a group of financiers working at the fictional bank, Pierpoint & Co.—is a season of television that will go down with the greats.

In the extended finale episode, which aired Sunday night, Yasmin Kara-Hanani (Marisa Abela) announced her surprise engagement to Lord-in-waiting Henry Muck (Kit Harington), breaking the hearts of fans everywhere who hoped she would ride off into the sunset with soft-boi banker Rob Spearing (Harry Lawtey.) Pierpoint’s London operation collapsed, leaving ruthless boss Eric Tao (Ken Leung) as “yesterday’s man,” with his protege Harper Stern (Myha'la) becoming Forbes magazine’s face of the future. And Rishi Ramdani (Sagar Radia)? I’m still processing that scene. Whew.

The show’s third season has been operating on a whole other level. The script has become noticeably sharper, and the show seems more confident about what it really wants to say. The quality of the writing and performances has drawn inevitable comparisons with Succession.

Princess Beatrice Reportedly Avoids Visiting Dad Andrew’s Home
Dave Benett/GettyPart of the reason Prince Andrew is steadfastly refusing to budge from his home, Royal Lodge, which he leases at a bargain price from the Crown Estate, is to leave it to his children, sources have previously told The Daily Beast.A bitter irony, then, that his older daughter, Princess Beatrice, now reportedly finds the place a “stress hole” that she avoids for fear of being drawn into her father’s ongoing humiliation over his alleged sexual relationship with Jeffrey Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre.The latest installment of this “nightmare” was the poorly received Amazon TV series A Very Royal Scandal, which starred Ruth Wilson as former BBC journalist Emily Maitlis, and Michael Sheen as Prince Andrew.Read more at The Daily Beast.
