Kit Harington Joins HBO’s Industry in Season Three

Game of Thrones Star Brings New Energy and Complexity to Financial Drama

Kit Harington, best known for his role as Jon Snow in Game of Thrones, is stepping into the financial world of HBO’s Industry for its third season. Harington will portray Henry Muck, the founder and CEO of a green tech company on the verge of going public. A fan of the show, Harington expressed his excitement at the New York premiere, telling The Hollywood Reporter, “It was fun coming on board something that you’ve seen, that you enjoy, that you’re a fan of. I’d not done that before and it’s a bit geeky. You step into a world that you know and you’re like, ‘Ooh, I’m excited to be here.’”

Taking on a more morally ambiguous role than his previous characters, Harington describes Muck as complex and ethically flawed. “I think there will be no doubt in the audience’s mind that Henry Muck is not morally just at all, he really isn’t. The question is whether they like him, whether they care for him, whether they care about him, and understand that those shaky moral foundations have arrived for a reason,” Harington explained. “Jon Snow was wonderful, I loved him, but he was sometimes tricky to play because he was morally kind of perfect, which is difficult to play sometimes.”

Harington joins a talented cast including Marisa Abela, Myha’la, Harry Lawtey, Ken Leung, and David Jonsson. His co-stars praised his performance and professionalism. “He’s a brilliant actor and what he brought to Henry Muck — I saw that character in a completely different way,” Abela said. “It was so fun for us to sort of play that relationship out together, but he’s also just a really nice guy, really nice. And when you’re working on a TV show for six months it’s important that everyone is nice.”

Myha’la added, “It was such a huge compliment that he came in saying, ‘I’m a fan,’ you know what I mean. Someone whose career you respect, whose work you respect, saying, ‘I respect yours too’ is a massive compliment.”
