With Industry set for a fifth and final season, it’s not just the audience who will be saying goodbye to the money- and power-hungry characters. The cast will be bidding their alter egos farewell too. And in the case of Myha’la, there are a few things she’d like to see from her character, Harper, before clocking out for good.
“It’s hard not to be really sentimental about this because Harper also feels like my sister — who I want so badly to go to therapy,” Myha’la said during a recent conversation with Gold Derby. “Obviously, that’s not dramatic enough.”
Within the realm of what might happen on a television series as dramatic as Industry, Myha’la has a slightly more romantic idea.
“In my wildest fantasies, I would love to see what happens to her when she is really in love,” she said. “We really haven’t seen Harper in a romantic scenario, one that wasn’t [toxic]. I mean, there’s not a relationship on the show that’s not toxic. It’s going to be some kind of toxic, but I haven’t seen what it looks like when she is truly affected by a romantic love, not a sort of paternal, bastardized father figure and not a competitive sisterly thing.”
It’s Harper’s long arc as a key anti-hero of Industry that has Myha’la wondering if there’s more to life for her. “Love changes people, and I want to see what happens to Harper when she’s truly changed,” she said. “I want to see what happens to her when she values something or someone above herself.”
