Industry season 3 plot

BBC's plot synopsis has got us intrigued, especially as it reveals what kind of role Kit Harington will be playing in the story of the third season.

“In season three, 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 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,” it reads.

“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).”

We know that Kit's role will be central to the story of season three, with Pierpoint “looking to the future and take a big bet on ethical investing”, which leads to “a story that runs all the way to the very top of finance, media and government”.
