5. Industry City has been used as a backdrop for many popular television series
Some of the most well-known television series in recent years have set scenes within the walls of Industry City including Billions, a Showtime drama series about a ruthless New York City hedge fund manager and his off-and-on-again nemesis, the Manhattan District Attorney. In season 2 Industry City serves as the location of the factory producing Ice Juice, which the DA has invested in.
Besides Billions, Industry City has also been featured on the hit Netflix series Jessica Jones, which often relies on warehouse backgrounds as a prime component of its aesthetic. Exterior shots of Industry City accompany scenes in which Jessica keeps her enemy Kilgrave hostage. Industry City was also featured in the music video for the song “Man on Fire” by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros.
