Finance-focused drama Industry is back for another intense season of telly - but UK fans will have to wait longer than those in the US to see the show.
Despite being a BBC and HBO show which is filmed in the UK, the show’s third series is already airing in the US while British fans still don’t have a release date for the same episodes.
Here’s everything we know so far about the highly anticipated third season of Industry…

Industry season three picks up where season two left off, with the show’s young finance workers Yasmin (Marisa Abela), Robert (Harry Lawtey), and Eric (Ken Leung) still working at Pierpoint, while Harper (Myha’la) sets off on her own journey away from the company.
The show’s synopsis teases that in series three, Pierpoint “looks to the future and takes a big bet on ethical investing,” leading to its young bankers finding themselves: “Front and centre in the splashy IPO of Lumi, a green tech energy company led by the British aristocrat Sir Henry Muck (Kit Harington), the embodiment of ‘old money’ privilege.”
Meanwhile Harper “is eager to get back into the addictive thrill of finance and finds an unlikely partner in FutureDawn portfolio manager Petra Koenig (Sarah Goldberg).”
Marisa Abela, Harry Lawtey, Ken Leung and Myha’la will all be returning for Industry season three. Conor MacNeill, Sagar Radia, Indy Lewis, Adam Levy, Sarah Parish, Trevor White, Elena Saurel and Irfan Shamji are also back.
Meanwhile Kit Harington, Sarah Golberg, Miriam Petche, Andrew Havill, Roger Barclay, Fady Elsayed, and Fiona Button are all joining the cast for season three.
Season three of Industry will air on BBC One and BBC iPlayer in the UK. The show is airing on HBO and Max in the US.
While Industry season three began airing on HBO and Max in the US on Monday, 11th August, there is currently no official UK airdate. The BBC have confirmed Industry will air its next season on BBC One and BBC iPlayer “later this year.”
TV critic and broadcaster Scott Bryan recently reported on X that season three of the show will be released as a boxset on BBC iPlayer in October.
"Essentially when HBO finishes the series, it will be on BBC iPlayer right away, with airings on BBC One," he added. Virginradio.co.uk has reached out to the BBC to confirm this report.
It’s unclear why HBO and Max show Industry ahead of BBC One and BBC iPlayer. Season one of Industry aired only one day later in the UK than it did in the US. Season two saw more of a difference, with UK viewers having to wait almost two months from when US fans got to see more of the show.
UK filmed shows airing in the US earlier than in the UK is not a unique phenomenon to Industry. While the rise of streaming has often led to shows being released simultaneously across the globe, some shows still see a staggered release.
One example of this is ITV’s Grantchester. Fans in the US have already seen series nine of the show – which is currently filming its tenth season – but fans in the UK will likely have to wait until next year to see the same episodes.
Industry season three will air on BBC One and BBC iPlayer later this year. The first two seasons of Industry are available to watch now on BBC iPlayer in the UK.
