What The Cast Changes Mean For Industry Season 4
The HBO Show Continues A Trend
Lawley, who played the young banker working at Pierpoint, wasnot explicitly written out in theIndustryseason 3 finaleas he took on a new gig as the pitchman for a start-up. Spearing is present in the last scene of the finale, leaning forward and smiling with an extra bit of confidence so it will be interesting to see how the character’s absence is explained.

Our Take On Industry’s Cast Changes
It’s A Big Loss
The loss of Lawtey will be a notable one, especially considering his previous centrality to the story.Industrycould, nonetheless, deal with the absence of Spearing in a way that ultimately illuminates the story and takes it in an unexpected direction. It’ll be one of the stories to watch for.
