Hollywood actor who has starred in Game Of Thrones is set to join the third series of BBC banking drama Industry
One of Hollywood's biggest stars is set to join the cast of the third series of BBC's banking drama Industry.
Kit Harington, best known for his roles on Game Of Thrones and Gunpowder, will join the cast as Henry Muck, the CEO and Founder of Lumi, an exciting green tech energy company about to go public.
Industry gives viewers an inside view of the blackbox of high finance following a group of young bankers.
In the series, the bankers attempt to mould their identities within the pressure cooker environment and sex and drug-fueled blitz of international bank Pierpoint & Co's London office.
Series three sees Pierpoint looking to the future and takes a big bet on ethical investing, and the desk find themselves front and centre in the splashy IPO of Lumi, a green tech energy company – in a story that runs all the way to the very top of finance, media and government.

Since starring in eight series of Game Of Thrones, Kit appeared in the star-studded cast of Marvel's Eternals as Black Knight, released in 2021.
This year he will also star in the AppleTV+ series Extrapolations, an anthology series that depicts the effects of climate change, beginning on March 17.
In October, HBO announced that they had renewed Industry for a third season, with star Myha'la Herrold - who plays Harper Stern - gushing: 'Y'all did this... Thank you so much for watching our show and sending us so much love.
'I can't wait to bring you more @industryhbo. Season three is coming!'
It's unclear what's in store for the 26-year-old NoCal native's character after she was fired from her position at the Cross Product Sales desk at Pierpoint & Co for lying about graduating college.
Creators Mickey Down and Konrad Kay previously teased on a Discord chat that they had 'a very good season three idea.'
'We had a rule that we had to burn our best plot ideas as quickly as possible,' Kay said of season two.
'Hold nothing back. Every episode should feel like a finale. We hate how slow most modern TV is.'

The large ensemble cast also features Marisa Abela, Sagar Radia, Harry Lawtey, Ken Leung, Alex Alomar Akpobome, David Jonsson, Conor MacNeill, and Jay Duplass.
'Industry reached new heights in season two, cementing its status as a buzzy hit with addictive storytelling, layered characters, a breakneck pace, and keen observations about contemporary workplace dynamics,' HBO Programming senior VP Kathleen McCaffrey told Deadline on Tuesday.
'We're incredibly proud of what Mickey and Konrad, Jami O'Brien, Jane Tranter, and the team at Bad Wolf - together with our entire cast and crew - accomplished.
'We couldn't be more excited to continue our journey with them into season three.'
