The first pictures have been released from the latest season of the BBC drama Industry, which is filmed in the Welsh capital.
Game of Thrones star Kit Harington, and Marisa Abela – who played Amy Winehouse in the film Back to Black – play two of the key protagonists in a drama first aired in 2020 about the financial industry in London’s Canary Wharf.
Season four is an eight-part series that sees investment bankers Harper, played by US actress Myha’la, and Yasmin (Abela) in a “high-stakes, globetrotting cat-and-mouse game”.
Created by Mickey Down and Konrad Kay and filmed in Cardiff, the series will be broadcast on BBC One in January.

Set in London’s financial district, the show – a co-production between the BBC and HBO – was apparently inspired by Down and Kay’s experiences of working in a US investment bank, with storylines replete with sex, drugs and skulduggery.
Much of the filming takes place in Cardiff, with the city’s streets and buildings often standing in for London.
The current series follows the fall-out when “a splashy fintech darling bursts onto the London scene”, according to the publicity released ahead of the show’s scheduled broadcast in the new year.

“As Yasmin navigates her relationship with tech founder Sir Henry Muck (Harington) and Harper is pulled into the orbit of enigmatic executive Whitney Halberstram, played by Max Minghella, their twisted friendship begins to warp and ignite under the pressure of money, power, and the desire to be on top,” the synopsis says.
Alongside familiar faces from the previous series, including Harper’s manager turned nemesis Eric (Ken Leung), the latest instalment introduces Minghella, who played Nick Blaine in The Handmaid’s Tale, as Halberstram.
