On January 2026, HBO's 'Industry' cast staged a thrilling migration from the NYSE floor—complete with Myha'la nodding off while ringing the closing bell—into a Brooklyn warehouse bursting with caviar bumps, SternTao hats, and Jell-O shots worth more than some traders' 401(k)s. The hip crowd included influencer Kelley Heyer, viral for her 2024 'Apple' dance, and New York nightlife chronicler Ellie Williams lounging with her 4th-grade bestie like it was just another Friday. Showrunners Konrad Kay and Mickey Down mingled with Steve Russolillo chatting up the 'Einstein of Wall Street' Peter Tuchman, while DJ sets from The Dare, Charli XCX's mystery pal, kept half-drunken finance bros and literati alike trying not to spill their expensive drinks.
