Industry

Quest for Fire.

I watched a very different show called Industry, which is on HBO.

And industry, I like it.

I've never watched the show Euphoria.

Yeah.

So it's pretty good.

Industry, I think, you know, if that sounds interesting to you, check it out.

Quest for Fire, would you recommend it to people?

Well, it is the best of times because we are catching up with Emmy and Golden Globe-nominated actor Kit Harington.

For eight years, millions watched him in the Game of Thrones as the Honorable Jon Snow, and he's held nothing back as the spoiled aristocrat Henry Muck on HBO's Industry.

Well, now he's starring in a new adaptation of Charles Dickens' classic novel, A Tale of Two Cities.

Kit playing lawyer, cynical lawyer, Sidney Carton, who has changed forever after meeting the kind and loyal Lucy.

You may know him from The Social Network, Nick from The Handmaid's Tale.

He's in the last series of Industry.

He's incredible in that.

And he was in Art School Confidential, directed by the great Terry Zwigoff.

Oh my God.

The kinda LCD clock and just like...

You know what's funny? It's like, um, you know the Industry Boys, you know Mickey and Con as well.

Of course, yeah.

For folks at home, a lot of these shows sometimes nowadays will go ahead and put together a writer's room and break a story while they're in the midst of trying to figure out whether or not they're going to do another renewal, just to kind of have a general sense of where the story is going for, and those writers are all paid and you know, compensated for their work accordingly, but then that way they kind of have a very clear direction from a creative standpoint of what this will kind of look like.

I know, for example, I think the way that it's worked for the last couple of seasons is Industry, which is a show that I cover very, very closely, also on HBO.

Conrad K and Mickey Down, who are the co-creators of the show, have gone so far to at least write a full premiere script and have a general outline of what they want to do for the season.

And then that is part of the pitch process to HBO, is that it's kind of like, this is where we want to go big picture-wise.

And then get a general sense from a creative standpoint, like what Mickey and Conrad were planning on doing for season four, right? In looking at season four and how they renewed for the fifth and final season, they did that a little ahead of time.

I think part and partial because... to your point, Graham, from a creative standpoint, there was a really big thing that they did in the finale, and I think it was one of those things they wanted to go ahead and assure fans who were seeing this really big narrative decision that they were making that there was going to be, that their trust would be rewarded, that it wouldn't end.

And Industry is a very specific show in the sense where it's like, I think when the first season premiered, it had the least, most viewers of any HBO show in HBO history.

Like, the fact that it has gone on and continued and been And now its fifth season is astronomical.

According to very recent reports, Nicholas Hoult has exited the role due to scheduling conflicts, and HBO has now brought in none other than Kit Harington to replace him, which means Jon Snow himself might be playing Gilderoy Lockhart, and this is interesting casting for a couple of reasons.

Obviously, Kit Harington already has a very strong relationship with HBO after spending eight seasons playing Jon Snow in Game of Thrones, and more recently appearing in Industry.

But even more interestingly, this won't actually be his first time playing Lockhart, as Harington recently voiced Gilderoy Lockhart in the new full cast Harry Potter audiobook production.

Lockhart is, of course, one of the most important new characters introduced in Chamber of Secrets.

I want to be famous.
