"This time, the drama steps beyond the fluorescent glow of Pierpoint's trading floor and into a broader, more unsettling social landscape. Whilst capitalism is, of course, still the driving force behind each storyline, season 4 is more attuned to the power structures that orbit it. This time, Industry unfolds as a sharp, uncomfortable on-the-nose commentary of modern politics, media, technocrats and the seemingly-immovable aristocracy of British society. It's still sweaty-palm television, but with an even more sinister edge."
"Despite the show's setting in the City of London, much of Industry is actually filmed in Wales, with Cardiff serving as its primary production base. Across the series, locations have included Cardiff Bay's Oval Basin, Penarth Pier, and the grand Tredegar House in Newport, all of which appear on screen as various stand-ins for London, or for unnamed suburbs which house the private worlds of the ultra-wealthy."
Season 4 follows Harper Stern and Yasmin Kara-Hanani as the series moves beyond Pierpoint's trading floor into broader social terrain. Capitalism remains the driving force, but storylines now emphasize the power structures surrounding finance. The season functions as a pointed commentary on modern politics, media influence, technocrats, and the entrenched British aristocracy, adopting a darker, more unsettling tone. Settings shift from glass towers and late-night offices to drawing rooms, golf courses, and country estates, lending a sinister edge. Production primarily films in Wales, with Cardiff and locations such as Cardiff Bay's Oval Basin, Penarth Pier, and Tredegar House doubling for London.
