Fewer desks than graduates: that is the arithmetic driving Industry, a British-American drama series set inside a London investment bank, with hour-long episodes and a first season dated 2020.
What is Industry about?
A new intake of graduates arrives at a leading investment bank in London knowing that only some of them will be kept on. Industry follows that group across the trading floor as they chase clients, please managers and try to make themselves impossible to let go. The competition does not end when the markets close. The same young people who fight for position by day share flats, nights out and beds, and yesterday's ally can be today's obstacle. Money is the official business, but the culture they are being absorbed into runs just as much on ego, appetite and excess, and the series keeps asking how much of themselves each of them will trade to belong.
About the cast
Myha'la and Marisa Abela lead the listed cast, alongside Harry Lawtey, Conor MacNeill, Sagar Radia and Ken Leung. Kit Harington and Sarah Goldberg also appear in the catalogue's cast list. The ensemble mixes newer faces with established screen actors, which fits a story about newcomers measuring themselves against people who already hold the power in the room.
Context & significance
Industry is a co-production between the United Kingdom and the United States, and Isabella Eklöf is the director credited in the catalogue. Its subject is high finance seen from the bottom rung: not the executives at the top, but the graduates who work the longest hours and have the least security. That angle sets it apart from most workplace drama and gives it an unusually frank view of office hierarchy, ambition and burnout. Episodes run roughly an hour, the tone is adult, and the dialogue is thick with trading-floor language, so the Persian options help: K-Time carries the series with both a Persian dub and Persian subtitles.
