In addition to returning cast members including Sarah Parish and Back to Black's Marisa Abela, the third run of Industry has added Game of Thrones' Kit Harington to the cast.

He's playing Henry Muck, the CEO and founder of a green energy company that's about to go public. The trading desk at Pierpoint looks to capitalise on the business' rising success, but at what cost?

Writer and consulting producer Joseph Charlton has stated that season 3 of Industry will greatly expand its world, and give viewers something new to sink their teeth into.

"The world is bigger in a way that I think… audiences will find surprising," Joseph teased.

"The show isn't just repeating itself. It's going into new places, and I think it's seeing the entanglement of finance and sectors in other parts of the world and politics in a way that I think is really novel and interesting.

"We're kind of expanding out, and the frame's getting wider, and you're starting to see the bosses above those people, and then those bosses' bosses, and then how a big investment bank fits into the hierarchy of society more broadly than that."

Last month, Harington explained why he won't watch Game of Thrones spin-off House of the Dragon.

"I think it's, for me, I spent too long there," he replied. "I wish them all the best and I hope [and] hear it's really wonderful and going really well.

"But I don't think I'll ever watch that show, and I don't think I'll watch Game of Thrones again for very many years."

Industry airs on BBC One and streams on BBC iPlayer in the UK, and on HBO in the US.
