- Drama Series: English Language

Series three intensifies the elements that make Industry exceptional, focusing on Environmental, Social, and Governance investing (ESG), a capitalist mode claiming to serve the common good but dismissed by Harper Stern as a “fad” with overvalued assets. The show draws from real financial and political events, including the 2021 collapse of small energy providers and a take on the Truss-Kwarteng "mini-budget" through City trader Rishi. Through this exploration of the tectonic financial and political forces that shape our modern life, series three never loses sight of the nuanced personal relationships that keep audiences hooked, from Robert and Yasmin’s will-they-won’t-they romance to Harper and Eric’s explosive mentor-mentee enmity. Industry is a drama about human beings. It is this confident melding of compelling personal stories with the macro-narratives that explore why modern Britain is in the state that it is today, that makes Industry one of the leading shows of recent years.
