Max Minghella has joined Season 4 of HBO‘s Industry.
He will play Whitney Halberstram, the CFO and Founder of Tender, a payment processor entering a growth phase. He joins returning cast including Myha’la, Marisa Abela, Ken Leung, Sagar Radia, Kit Harington, and Miriam Petche.
Minghella is the latest heavy hitting actor to join the series, which has become known for casting a big name each season to play a plot-defining character. In Season 3, Harington joined the cast a wealthy tech giant, while Jay Duplass played a hedge fund manager in Season 2.
Production on Season 4, which will be eight episodes, begins in the UK in March.
So far, details about the upcoming installment are being kept largely under wraps. However, creators Mickey Down and Konrad Kay told Deadline in December that they are taking inspiration from Tony Gilroy’s Michael Clayton for Season 4.
“We want to write a corporate thriller,” Down teased, calling Gilroy’s film “the greatest corporate thriller of all time.”
Industry became a breakout hit for HBO in its third season, breaking viewership records several times over the course of the eight episodes. It was also nominated for a Critics Choice Award for Best Drama Series.
In Season 3, as Pierpoint looks to the future and takes a big bet on ethical investing, Yasmin (Marisa Abela), Robert (Harry Lawtey), and Eric (Ken Leung) find themselves front and center in the splashy IPO of Lumi, a green tech energy company led by Sir Henry Muck (Kit Harington), in a story that runs all the way to the very top of finance, media, and government. Since leaving Pierpoint, Harper (Myha’la) is eager to get back into the addictive thrill of finance and finds an unlikely partner in FutureDawn portfolio manager Petra Koenig (Sarah Goldberg).
