‘Industry’ Season 4 Cast and Characters
Spoiler’s Ahead!!
Industry promises to deliver the high-stakes drama fans expect, with the introduction of Tender—a potentially corrupt startup—putting all the characters on a collision course.
Harper and Eric’s investigation into Tender will likely uncover dark secrets, while Yasmin navigates her new power as Henry’s fiancée and her return to the industry. Meanwhile, Rishi deals with the aftermath of tragedy, and new characters add fresh dynamics to the already explosive mix.
Myha’la Herrold as Harper Stern
Haper Stern starts as a talented graduate from New York who moves to London for the opportunity to work for Pierpoint. She is immediately taken under the wing of managing director Eric Tao and the Cross Product Sales team.
Harper is fiercely competitive, which makes her a natural fit in the industry. There’s very little that will stop her from getting what she wants. She becomes so good at her job that Eric begins to worry for his own role at Pierpoint.
Pierpoint being bought by an investment firm throws a wrench in her plan to climb to the top of the ladder. As the company is downsizing, they discover that Harper has falsified her transcripts. She did not, in fact, graduate from college. Harper is fired from Pierpoint at the end of Season 2.
Throughout Season 3, she claws her way into a partnership that gets her right back in the game and Season 4 will present her with the most complex professional challenge yet as corruption tied to Tender, the new payment processing app, lands on her lap.
Harper has complex relationships with nearly all the other characters in Industry. Her friendship with Yasmin runs hot and cold. They’re on-again, off-again frenemies who come to a dramatic head in Season 3, which ends in a physical fight.
Even still, Yasmin and Harper’s friendship runs so deep that they share a “to the grave” type secret: the true fate of Yasmin’s dad, who drowned off his yacht with Yasmin and Harper looking on, but not saving him.
Harper has developed romantic relationships with numerous coworkers, including Robert, Daniel and Rishi. But the main love of her life is the industry itself.
Marisa Abela as Yasmin Kara-Hanani
Yamin enters Season 1 as an ambitious grad looking for a permanent position at Pierpoint. She is the heiress to a publishing empire, but she is constantly trying to prove that she is more than her family’s wealth.
Yasmin is assigned to the foreign exchange sales desk and is never taken seriously by her superiors, who cultivate a sexist culture and assign her to coffee and lunch runs.
When her father breaks it to her that she is at Pierpoint due to nepotism, Yasmin decides to embrace her destiny and becomes engaged to tech billionaire Sir Henry Muck. While it may be her best social move, Yasmin breaks Robert’s heart in the process. They had an intense and flirtatious relationship for the entire series, and Robert always felt it would lead somewhere else.
Throughout Season 3, Yasmin is still working through the trauma of watching her father die the year prior as well as working to rehab her image in the aftermath of the scandal.
Yasmin enters Season 4 looking to embrace her newfound power through marriage. When Henry decides to partner with a new company known as a “bank killer,” she sees an opportune role to get back into the industry and prove everyone (especially Harper) that she’s the best in the room.
Kit Harington as Sir Henry Muck
Kit Harington (Game of Thrones) plays Sir Henry Muck, the founder and CEO of Lumi, a green tech energy company that’s poised to make him a billionaire. He meets Yasmin in Season 3, and they quickly develop a white-hot relationship that leads to their marriage.
In Season 4, Henry is approached by Whitney Halberstrom, who is launching a company called Tender, a payment processor app he dubs a “bank killer.” He wants Henry to get behind it. But there is more to this company than meets the eye and it threatens to take Henry and Yasmin down with it.
Ken Leung as Eric Tao
Eric Tao is the managing director at the CPS desk at Pierpoint and the company’s number one producer. Early on, he sees the potential in Harper and takes her under his wing.
Eric walks around the floor carrying a baseball bat with a stern demeanor, which tells you everything you need to know about the kind of culture he thinks will make the company successful.
The more Harper succeeds, the more he wonders about his own power and standing in the company. More and more, his position within the company erodes to the point where he is told by the CFO that there’s no business need for him after the company is bought by an investment firm.
Now, for the first time, Eric is a free agent. In Season 4, he forms an alliance with Harper and will uncover a great deal about the hot new app, Tender.
Sagar Radia as Rishi Ramdani
Rishi is a high-rolling trader whose tolerance for risk increasingly gets him into trouble. He constantly takes huge business risks, gambles irresponsibly and does drugs even in the presence of his own baby. Each passing day, he gets a little more confident, and his risk tolerance continues to climb.
Initially in the background of the show, Rishi claims the spotlight midway through Season 3 when we follow him through two days of unmitigated behavior: a risky financial move at Pierpoint, delaying a payment to his gambling collector and a frenetic meltdown at a casino.
Rishi’s risks come to a head at the end of Season 3 when, after continually delaying his debt payments, his estranged wife is killed in front of him by the loan shark he owes money to.
Rishi will open Season 4 in the aftermath of his wife’s death.
Roger Barclay as Otto Mostyn
Otto Mostyn is Henry’s godfather and an asset manager with villainous relentlessness. Otto comes into Season 3 to take over Pierpoint and sees the same potential in Harper that Eric saw.
Otto eventually works with Harper to start a New York fund shorting corrupt companies at the end of Season 3, which will lead them right into a standoff with Tender in Season 4.

Whitney Hauberstrom (The Social Network, Handmaid’s Tale) is the CFO and co-founder of Tender.
