Big news for fans of HBO‘s most underrated drama!
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Industry has officially been renewed for a fourth season.
The news comes as no surprise, as the British investment banking drama enjoyed explosive ratings growth in recent weeks.
In fact, THR reports that Industry is up a whopping 40 percent over its season two performance and is now averaging 1.6 million viewers cross-platform.
Obviously, its audience is still on the smaller side, but if you’ve been reading our Industry reviews, you know we couldn’t be happier about this renewal!
And if you’ve been sleeping on this show, it’s official time to wake up. There’s no better way to fill the Succession-shaped hole in your heart!
Black Mirror Season 7 Cast Revealed
Speaking of returning British favorites, it’s almost time to delve back into the dark side of modern technology with a new season of Black Mirror.
The show’s seventh season is currently filming, and while it won’t arrive on Netflix until 2025, we just got our first glimpse at the cast, and it is an embarrassment of riches. Check it out:
- Awkwafina (Jackpot)
- Milanka Brooks (Mum And I Don’t Talk Anymore)
- Peter Capaldi (Criminal Record)
- Emma Corrin (Deadpool and Wolverine)
- Paul Giamatti (The Holdovers)
- Rashida Jones (Sunny)
- Billy Magnussen (Road House)
- Cristin Milioti (The Penguin)
- Chris O’Dowd (Bridesmaids)
- Issa Rae (Barbie)
- Tracee Ellis Ross (Black-ish)
- Jimmi Simpson (Westworld)
- Harriet Walter (Succession)
See what we’re saying?
It’s like a freakin’ TV all-star game. You’ve got a good mix of living legends (Giamatti, Capaldi, Ross Walter) and exciting up-and-comers (Magnussen, Simpson, Corrin).
Issa Rae, Rashida Jones, and Cristin Milioti are all on the verge of earning “I’ll watch anything with her in it” status, with the latter appearing in two of the anticipated genre projects in recent memory (the buzz surrounding Max’s The Penguin couldn’t be bigger).
In other words, the cast for Black Mirror’s seventh outing has us fully psyched.
Here’s hoping showrunner Charlie Brooker and his writing staff can rise to the occasion!
Beyond the Gates Gets New Title, Logline, Cast
And finally, we’ve got big news regarding CBS‘ first Black soap opera in 35 years.
The show formerly known as The Gates is now titled Beyond the Gates. Perhaps the network didn’t want to create the impression that the series would center around the messy divorce between Bill and Melinda.
Anyway, today’s title change came with the show’s first casting announcement.
Three daytime vets lead the way, as Tamra Tunie (Law & Order: SVU, As the World Turns), Daphnee Duplaix (One Life to Live), and Karla Mosley (The Bold and the Beautiful) will anchor this historic project.
We also got our first official description of the show’s premise:
“Beyond the Gates is set in a leafy Maryland suburb just outside of Washington D.C., and in one the most affluent African American counties in the United States,” reads the logline.
“Here you’ll find a posh gated community with winding tree-lined streets and luxurious mansions to call home.
“At the center of this community are the Duprees, a powerful and prestigious multi-generational family that is the very definition of Black royalty.”
The show is produced by CBS Studios and the NAACP.
And while there’s sure to be plenty of soapy scandal, the series’ goal is to provide a positive portrayal of Black families — something that’s too seldom seen on television these days.
Over to you, TV fanatics! Are you excited about this new addition to the daytime landscape?
Or maybe you’re pumped about another thrilling season of Industry?
