Kiernan Shipka ‘Industry’ Threesome Scene & Child Star Talk

SPOILER ALERT: This story contains plot details⁢ for⁢ “Habseligkeiten,” Season 4, Episode 3⁢ of HBO‘s “Industry,” now streaming on HBO Max.

Anyone who last saw Kiernan Shipka ⁢as little Sally Draper in ‍”Mad Men,” or even as ⁢wand-waving adolescent Sabrina Spellman in “Sabrina teh Teenage Witch,” may well blink twice upon ⁤seeing her latest role as Hayley Clay in “Industry.”

In the first scenes of the Season 4 opener alone,she’s ‍popping pills in a nightclub,getting frisky on the dance ⁣floor (with Charlie heaton’s Jim,also a new character) and giving colorful descriptions of her⁤ vagina to her new⁤ acquaintance back at her ⁤- quite impressive – apartment. And this all before Hayley is eventually introduced as an executive⁤ assistant ⁢at ⁣shady ⁤financial⁢ startup Tender.

But it’s Episode 3 that truly⁢ kicks whatever remaining child-star status Shipka has left firmly into the annals of TV history in a scene in which she’s playfully encouraged to have sex with trouble aristocrat Henry Muck (Kit Harington) by his⁣ deviously manipulative wife Yasmin (Marisa Abela). Hayley obliges, perhaps too enthusiastically,⁣ prompting Yasmin to get ‍involved in the action herself so as not to be outdone in the endless game of power play. Naturally, with this being “Industry,” and a season in which creators Konrad ‍kay and Mickey Down have ⁣all but blown the doors ⁤off the show’s financial roots, this threesome takes place in a medieval Austrian castle run by a family⁤ of fascists, where paintings by an “A. Hitler”⁣ hang on the walls.

As Shipka notes, “Industry” is a show that is not only “brave and it’s rule-breaking and it’s pushing limits” – but it’s a show that manages to “get away” with it.

At first,Hayley seems to be the doting assistant,albeit⁤ one⁣ who also likes to go out and hook up ‍and take drugs. But we see more of her identity as show moves on. How would ⁤you describe⁤ her?

When I taped for the show, it was pretty much the‍ opening sequence,⁤ and then it ‍was⁣ a⁢ scene from a later episode. And ⁢I was kind of going, “Who is she, who⁢ is this girl?” I could‍ sense that she was playing some sort of game, and was also wild and living her life, and ⁣had a much grittier, more raw ‍quality to her, ⁢given how much she explodes within the fir

“Fellow Travelers” Star on the Show’s ‍Bold ‍choices

Actor Matt Bomer⁣ described a surprising experience on the set ‍of the new Showtime series “Fellow Travelers,” realizing *while filming* that he was ⁣enacting lines he’d⁢ previously only read and mentally processed. Bomer praised the ⁢show’s creative⁤ team for handling sensitive⁢ material with care and ‍pushing boundaries.

“The amount of stuff that I read ⁢and went, ‘Oh, I guess ⁤I’m saying that!'” Bomer ‍saeid. “I’ve never been on a show where I’ve read⁣ the scene,and then in real time gone,’Oh,wait,no,no,I’m actually⁢ doing that.’ But also, at the same time, I feel like we’re in such good hands.”

He continued,⁢ “That’s why the show, for lack of a better term, gets away with this stuff⁣ as it’s done,⁤ in such a careful, tasteful⁢ manner. But it’s brave and it’s rule-breaking and it’s pushing limits. and I think ⁢that’s why everyone’s excited about it.”

Bomer confirmed he wasn’t new to the set when this realization occurred. “No, that would be a different ‍story!” he said.”but we’d shot some stuff,so I⁣ knew everyone by then!”

The series has garnered attention for its bold editing choices,including a cut from a ⁢sex scene directly to a⁣ breakfast scene featuring oysters. Bomer attributed ‍this to ⁢the vision of showrunners Mickey and Konrad.”It is [wonderful]! And that was in the script. So it’s really testament to⁣ Mickey and ⁤Konrad knowing exactly what kind of show they wanted to make.”
