What happened at the end of Season 3 of Industry?

At the end of season three, Pierpoint, as we know it, is dead, with its London desk closed after selling it to Egyptian investors.

We also saw Yasmin (Marisa Abela) accepting the proposal from Henry Muck (Kit Harington), ultimately choosing security over her love for Robert (Harry Lawtey), who leaves Pierpoint to join a psilocybin startup and set a new life in America.

Rishi's (Sagar Radia) gambling debts ultimately catch up with him as his wife, Diana (Emily Barber), is shot dead by his loan shark, Vinay (Asim Chaudhry).

Meanwhile, Harper (Myha’la) is moving on from her alliance with Petra Koenig (Sarah Goldberg) and making the move back to New York to start her own venture with the backing of Otto Mostyn (Roger Barclay). Despite their fallout, she reconnects with mentor Eric Tao (Ken Leung) and thanks him for the quote he gave for her Forbes 30 Under 30 feature.

Yasmin also calls Harper, as she hasn't RSVP'd for her wedding, and congratulates her on her Forbes 30 Under 30 achievement, suggesting they've moved past their previous explosive fight.

What can viewers expect from the upcoming season?

A synopsis has been released, which hints at what viewers can expect from Season 4.

“At the top of their game and living the lives they set out to have as Pierpoint grads, Harper (Myha’la) and Yasmin (Marisa Abela) are drawn into a high stakes, globetrotting cat-and-mouse game when a splashy fintech darling bursts onto the London scene," it reads.

"As Yasmin navigates her relationship with tech founder Sir Henry Muck (Kit Harington) and Harper is pulled into the orbit of enigmatic executive Whitney Halberstram (Max Minghella), their twisted friendship begins to warp and ignite under the pressure of money, power and the desire to be on top.”

More drama to come then...we're seated.
