Major update for hit-show Industry as Marisa Abela wins BAFTA's Leading Actress
Following her first BAFTA win for Best Leading Actress, Industry's Marisa Abela teased some news about the upcoming season of the series - and it's an exciting one
Marisa Abela has been awarded with the Best Leading Actress award at the BAFTA Awards 2025, as reflected by her outstanding performance as the ruthless investment banker, Yasmin Kara-Hanani, in the popular series, Industry.
The British actress gained attention in the BBC Two/HBO drama series, which follows a group of young university graduates who are competing for permanent positions at Pierpoint & Co, which is a prestigious investment bank in London.
Industry premiered in 2020 in the US and the UK, with a second season confirmed a month later due to its success. The third season of the series premiered in August 2024, and a fourth one has been renewed.
Marisa was competing for the award against well-known figures, including: Anna Maxwell Martin (Until I Kill You), Billie Piper (Scoop), Lola Patticrew (Say Nothing), Monica Dolan (Mr Bates vs The Post Office), and Sharon D Clarke (Mr Loverman).
Whilst accepting her prestigious award, the 28-year-old actress revealed that the team had already begun filming the new season, saying: 'Season three felt like a massive step up for the show, and I feel like that is continuing and continuing. So I am excited to see the response season four gets, which we are filming right now.'
The actress portrays a wealthy graduate that's fluent in six languages, including English, Spanish, French, Italian, German and Arabic. Her character is assigned to the Foreign Exchange Sales (FX) desk at Pierpoint.
In an interview with The Guardian, Marissa told them: "This season does feel different, but in an exciting way. People responded to the Industry spreading its wings in season three and having greater ambitions.'
'And I think that's even more true of season four,' she added. Marisa also explained that the upcoming season is bound to have a dramatic finale, with the usual family and romance drama.
Mickey Down and Konrad Kay, the creators and writers of the series expressed their excitement on the new season, saying: 'Can't wait to dive deeper and deliver the best season yet in season 4.'
When is season four of Industry coming out?
Although there isn't any more information about the new season, reports have revealed that production began in March, with chances of the new season coming out in 2026.
As reported by Variety, Industry has expanded its cast. New faces include Kiernan Shipka (Chilling Adventures of Sabrina), Jack Farthing (Rain Dogs), Toheeb Jimoh (Ted Lesso), and Amy James-Kelly (Three Families).
While these actors will make their debut in the series, there will also be the return of some well-loved actors, including Myha'la, Marisa Abela, Ken Leung, Sagar Radia, Kit Harington, and Miriam Petche.
SPOILER ALERT: The final episode of season three had a lot of turbulent and heart-warming moments. For example, Sir Henry Muck and Yasmin's wedding plans are being the hot topic of conversation amongst the group (and the city). But until the new season is out, fans will have to wait patiently to see what's next.

The Gold Season 2 on BBC One review: still a criminally good time
Even with only scattered historical references here and there, it's a romp. We return to the bowels of the Met Police, where DCS Brian Boyce (Hugh Bonneville) and his loyal deputies have been slogging away trying to chase down a trail that's gone very cold indeed. They narrowly missed nabbing convict John Palmer (Tom Cullen, suave as ever) at the end of season one; now, he's living the high life in Tenerife, swindling British tourists by selling them timeshare flats.

Film director Steven Spielberg is also a fan. The series, starring Owen Cooper and Stephen Graham, tells the story of a 13-year-old schoolboy accused of murdering a girl in his class after being brainwashed by misogynistic online content. Director Philip Barantini said: 'I am getting messages, inundated on Instagram, from people from all over the world who can relate to this story or have really been affected by it. 'That, for me, has blown my mind a little bit.' Speaking in a masterclass with the Royal Television Society, he added: 'I had a text message from Steven Spielberg who has watched it twice and I got letters from Adele last week — handwritten letters from Adele.' He continued: 'I mean, just like saying that she had watched it with her son and it has changed their relationship. 'Things like that are just beyond anything I ever imagined from this little show that we made with our family. 'You see things like Baby Reindeer and all of those shows — they come out and then they just blow up. 'It's a huge thing and that is the power of Netflix. Evil Adolescence teens butchered our kids after knife taunts & love feuds online…it's an arms war & no one feels safe 'For some reason, because we made it in Yorkshire and it is set in a small town in England, I never thought in a million years it would be the number one show in India or Venezuela.' The four-parter has become Netflix's second most-watched English language TV series, behind only Addams Family spin-off Wednesday. Adolescence has amassed 141.2million views since its debut on the streamer on March 13. It has also triggered a national debate and led to Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer saying schools should show it to children. Sir Keir said he watched the series with his 14-year-old daughter and son, 16. He added: 'As a dad, I have not found it easy viewing.'

Noel Gallagher's ‘excellent condition' 1990s super saloon up for sale for eye-watering seven-figure price
The motor was owned by Gallagher despite the fact he couldn't drive it ROLL WITH IT Noel Gallagher's 'excellent condition' 1990s super saloon up for sale for eye-watering seven-figure price Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A BEEFY super saloon that once belonged to Noel Gallagher has recently hit the market - for a supersonic sum of £1.2million. A gorgeous Bentley Turbo R was listed on Auto Trader, having once been the pride of joy of the Don't Look Back in Anger singer. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Despite never passing his driving test, Noel Gallagher's former Bentley Turbo R, complete with Britpop flair, is now up for grabs Credit: Getty 3 Gallagher's luxurious super saloon boasts a powerful 6.8-litre V8 engine and can be yours for a staggering £1.2million Credit: Auto Trader 3 Once owned by the Oasis frontman, this stylish Bentley boasts cream leather interiors, wood trims and the iconic 'OASI6 2' number plate Credit: Getty The four-door saloon, which was first registered in 1997, was owned by Gallagher despite the fact he couldn't drive it. The Turbo R - with the 'R" standing for "roadholding" - boasts a 6.8-litre V8 engine and is good for 0-60mph under seven seconds, as well as a top speed of 143mph. Not only built for speed, the Bentley boasts all the trimmings you'd expect from a luxury set of wheels of its time - featuring a cream leather interior, complemented by a wood trim. Described as being in both "excellent condition" and "surprisingly reliable", the Turbo R has clocked some 100,000 miles in its 28-year life. The snazzy motor also has the number plate 'OASI6 2', in reference to the Britpop band, which is set to reunite to play a run of gigs this year in the UK and Ireland. This includes shows at Manchester's Heaton Park, London's Wembley Stadium, and Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium, throughout July, August and September. The reunion made history, with more than 10million fans trying to get their hands on the British shows alone. Every performance, including those in the US, South America and Australia, sold out within minutes of going on sale. Famously, the Manchester-born musician has never passed his driving test - but seemingly hasn't stopped him owning or, indeed, driving cars. In 2023, he was handed six penalty points and ordered to pay a court £1,000 for failing to tell police who was driving his Range Rover - which was clocked speeding at 41mph on a 30mph stretch of the A40 in Edgware Road, West London. Noel Gallagher looks stony-faced as he makes lonely Tube journey to Oasis rehearsals – but Liam's entrance is chaotic Speaking about the Bentley's sale, Erin Baker, editorial director at Auto Trader, said: 'Cars listed by music legends don't come around very often, and Noel Gallagher's Bentley Turbo R is certainly one for the Auto Trader history books." Auto Trader's Catherine King recently spoke to Sun Motors with advice on the best second-hand convertibles drivers can pick up at a pinch in time for the summer sun. Naturally, their picks included the evergreen Mazda MX-5 - dubbed the poster child for convertible cars.
