Harry Lawtey Exits HBO's 'Industry' Ahead of Season 4

Harry Lawtey will not be returning for the fourth season of HBO's series Industry due to scheduling conflicts, as confirmed by Deadline. Lawtey played Robert Spearing, a character who transitioned from Pierpoint & Co. to a psilocybin startup, a storyline fans were eager to see develop further in the upcoming season. His departure comes as he gains attention for other roles, including his recent performance as Harvey Dent in Joker: Folie à Deux and an upcoming portrayal of Richard Burton. The fourth season is set to begin filming in March in the UK, and while Lawtey's exit is disappointing for fans, the show continues to evolve with new additions to the cast, such as Max Minghella. Creators have hinted at a shift towards a corporate thriller narrative inspired by the film Michael Clayton. Industry has seen increasing success, breaking viewership records during its third season.
