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.

BBC announces return of hit drama Vigil, starring Suranne Jones and Rose Leslie
The BBC has announced the return of hit drama Vigil with a brand new mystery. Made by World Productions (Until I Kill You, Showtrial, Line of Duty), part of ITV Studios, for BBC iPlayer and BBC One, the third series is due to start filming in Scotland later this year. Suranne Jones and Rose Leslie return as DCI Amy Silva and DI Kirsten Longacre. Their new case takes them to a remote Arctic research station, where a member of a covert British special forces mission has been shot dead. Amy and Kirsten will need to catch the killer and diffuse a potential international confrontation, driven by a land-grab for energy and resources in the changing polar climate, with both their careers and relationship on the line. Premiering in 2021, when Silva was enlisted to solve a murder on a navy submarine in Scottish waters, Vigil is one of the UK's most successful dramas this decade. It was nominated for Best Drama Series at the 2022 BAFTA Television Awards, and went on to win the International Emmy for Best Drama Series. Series two, which aired in 2023 and focused on a deadly drone attack, launched to nearly nine million viewers and was in the BBC's top three most watched dramas of the year. Suranne Jones says: "I can't wait to return to Vigil series three, see our brilliant team in Scotland and work with Rose again. I'm sure it will be a thrill of a ride." Rose Leslie says: "I can't wait to get stuck into another season of Vigil, to work with the wonderful Suranne Jones again and our brilliant crew. And this time, Kirsten will get to pack her bags and join Amy on what's set to be Vigil's most high-stakes mission yet!" Writer Tom Edge says: "I'm delighted that Suranne and Rose are returning for a new adventure. In our third season we travel to the frozen north where the world's great powers are competing to secure advantages as the ice melts. With a brilliant cast and crew assembling to make the show, we hope to deliver an epic investigation that shines a light on issues that will shape the world we all live in." Jake Lushington, executive producer for World Productions, says: "World have been thrilled by the way such huge audiences have embraced Vigil's unique combination of murder mystery, action adventure and political thriller. And of course the magnetic chemistry that Suranne and Rose bring to DCI Silva and DI Longacre. We can't wait to bring you the next instalment set in the most extreme location yet visited." Lindsay Salt, Director of BBC Drama, says: "After the barnstorming success of Vigil series one and two, it's our pleasure to announce the return of Silva and Longacre for what promises to be their most adrenaline-fuelled mission yet. Tom Edge and the World Productions team have excelled themselves with a brand new mystery and setting which will give Vigil's millions of fans even more of the brilliant, blockbuster drama they've come to expect and love from this very special show."
