Industry season 4 star teases new episodes – and reveals what workplace she wants to portray next

by

Fans have been eagerly awaiting news about season 4 of Industry, as it’s been over a year since the show last aired. It’s currently expected to premiere in January 2026.

I’m so excited for the new season! I recently read an interview with Myha’la, the actress who plays Harper, and she gave us a little peek at what’s coming. It sounds amazing, and I can’t wait to see what happens!

I’m really intrigued by this new movie, *Swiped*. It’s fascinating to see the actress take on another story about a difficult work environment, and this one’s based on the life of Whitney Wolfe Herd, the founder of Bumble. What’s particularly compelling is that the film touches on her real-life legal battle with Tinder – she actually sued them for sexual harassment and discrimination. They eventually reached a settlement, but it’s a powerful story to see on screen.

Myha’la plays Tisha, Whitney’s close friend, who also experiences the sexism shown in the film. Tisha is a character inspired by several real women and is important to the story because she highlights how staying silent about sexism-to be accepted by the men around her-makes her, in a way, part of the problem.

She explained that understanding Tisha’s perspective came down to recognizing that multiple ideas can be valid simultaneously. She said that’s how she felt both while watching and reading it.

Look, as a viewer, what really resonated with me here was the idea that you can absolutely support a friend going through a tough time *and* still set boundaries. It’s not an either/or situation! The character beautifully articulated that it’s okay to say, ‘I understand what you’re dealing with, but your actions are hurting me.’ It’s a really mature message – caring about someone doesn’t mean letting them walk all over you, and they should respect your feelings too. It felt incredibly honest and relatable.

Look, as someone who watches a lot of stories unfold on screen – and in life – I’ve learned that real friendship isn’t about just being there for someone no matter what. It’s about honesty, even when it’s tough. I believe it’s vital to actually *talk* about things, especially when a friend is hurting others with their behavior. You can support someone through a difficult time, but not if they refuse to acknowledge the impact they’re having on those around them. It’s about mutual respect, and a willingness to see things from other people’s perspectives, and that dialogue is key.

She also talked about how the show *Swiped* highlights the need for diverse representation in media, particularly showing women succeeding in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) and confronting sexism in traditionally male fields.

Seeing people like themselves in movies and on TV is powerful because it quietly or directly shows viewers that their experiences are valued and significant. Even something seemingly small like this can have a real impact on a person’s self-esteem.

What we do is powerful because we show people that their stories and appearances matter, and that representation on screen can significantly boost their self-esteem.

Myha’la has already worked in finance and tech. What’s her next career goal? She jokingly suggests becoming a lawyer, saying she simply enjoys wearing suits – any kind will do!
