What can you expect from Industry Season 4?

Given that Industry Season 4 will begin production in a few weeks, the plot details about the upcoming season are under wraps.

The Season 3 finale saw many changes in the main characters' lives, which could play in the upcoming chapter.

After her father's scandal, Yasmin was in a dilemma and realized that she needed financial security to move forward. While her heart was with Robert, she chose Henry as her life partner in the Industry Season 3 finale.

After breaking up with Yasmin and leaving Pierpoint on a bad note, Robert's life also took a new turn. He pitched his psychedelic drugs idea to Little Labs in California. Coincidentally, the team was headed by Greg, Pierpoint's former VP. Their unlikely union will bring a new direction to Robert's life in Season 4.

Talking about new beginnings, Harper also decides her future plan to run an all-shorts fund to target vulnerable businesses, possibly from New York. Actress Myha’la teased a new direction for her character in the upcoming season (via ELLE):

“I think her saying [she’s ready to go back to New York], whether or not it’s true, is just indicative of her confidence now,”

The new characters are expected to add a new dimension to season 4, thus rewarding loyal fans.
