‘Industry’ Showrunners Talk Harper’s Season 2 Finale Shocker, Finding Humanity in Finance Bros
Matt Donnelly Senior Film Writer SPOILER ALERT: Do not read further if you have not seen the Season 2 finale of “Industry.” Brutality came to the boardroom on Monday night, as the second season of HBO’s “Industry” delivered some brutal bottom lines for those inhabiting the international banking series. Series lead Harper Stern (portrayed with anxious nuance by actor Myha’la Herrold) has successfully orchestrated a coup against her high-powered employer Pierpont. She’s locked up the institution’s biggest client (Jay Duplass’ Jesse Bloom) with the same aplomb that got him signed. In the end, however, a life-threatening secret from Season 1 has returned to bludgeon her — a blow dealt by her mentor Eric Tao (Ken Leung).
