After episode three of Industry, which follows a group of young graduates competing for a limited number of permanent positions at a leading international bank in London, HBO will be releasing the remainder of the season's episode in one fell swoop on HBO Max as of November 27th.
This marks the first time HBO will offer a mid-season episode drop of an original series, giving viewers the option to binge the drama over Thanksgiving break, or wait until the remaining Industry episodes air linearly on HBO proper.
The series follows "a group of young grads fueled by ambition, youth, romance and drugs," and tackles issues like gender, class, race and privilege in the workplace as a group of young professionals enter the belly of Pierpoint & Co's trading floor.
