The world of investment banking has long been ripe with cinematic material. Thereโs the demanding nature of the gigโฆ the sheer volume of capital youโd be working withโฆ and lest we forget the debauchery attached to the occupational practice of substance abuse (weโve all seen Wolf of Wall Street, I really donโt have to explain it). Zeroing in on this opportunity, HBO is now releasing a new drama series by the name of Industry.
While the title is admittedly bland, the series itself promises to be quite the opposite. It follows a group of young โ and conveniently attractive โ graduates navigating the cutthroat waters of corporate finance. Competing for a limited amount of permanent positions in a fictitious and prestigious investment bank known as Pierpont & Co. (read: JP Morgan Chase clone), itโs clear from the trailer that no punches will be pulled. Audiences are in for the full impact.

Industry has been created by Mickey Down and Konrad Kay. Starring an entire host of relatively unknown talents such as Myhaโla Herrold, Marisa Abela, Harry Lawtey, and David Jonsson, it would not be a surprise if their collective status as โrelatively unknown talentsโ were to be upgraded soon. Based on the footage provided so far, Industry could very well be the perfect proving grounds for their dramatic ability โ and a one-way ticket to international stardom.
As for when and where youโll be able to view this upcoming affair, months on from its November 9th debut on HBO and HBO Max, Industry will finally be hitting our very own HBO Max equivalent / AU premium streaming service Binge on February 1st.
Watch the trailers for HBOโs Industry above and below.
