‘Industry’ Cast, Creators Talk Pushing Boundaries To Expand Beyond The HBO Series’ Modest Origins With Season 3 & Tease Season 4 Inspirations

deadline.com:

Industry creators Mickey Down and Konrad Kay are taking inspiration from Tony Gilroy for the upcoming fourth season of the HBO series. “We want to write a corporate thriller,” Down teased to an audience during a Deadline x HBO FYC event at The Times Center in New York City on Wednesday night.

He said they’re looking to Gilroy’s Michael Clayton for guidance, joking that he “felt quite bad” meeting the director recently and admitting their plan, “when he directed and wrote the greatest corporate thriller of all time.” As for whether their version will stack up, Down added: “You have to tell us in … not that long, actually, because we’re doing it very quickly this time.” Down and Kay joined stars Myha’la, Marisa Abela, Harry Lawtey, Ken Leung and Sagar Radia following a screening of the Season 3 finale for the conversation on all things Industry.

HBO signaled its confidence in Season 3 early on by moving the series to its marquee Sunday night primetime slot, which paid off in spades as Industry began to bring in its largest audiences ever.
