Industry Renewed for Fifth and Final Season at HBO

Industry will return for a fifth and final season on HBO.

This renewal comes ahead of the critically acclaimed drama’s Season 4 finale. It will air an hour early on Sunday, March 1, at 8/7c on HBO and HBO Max.

The eight-episode fourth season finds Harper and Yasmin “drawn into a high stakes, globetrotting cat-and-mouse game when a splashy fintech darling bursts onto the London scene.” It kicked off with Industry Season 4, Episode 1, “Paypal of Bukkake,” in January 2026.

The series, created by showrunners, writers, directors, and executive producers Mickey Down and Konrad Kay, premiered in 2020. The current season “is pacing roughly +30% ahead of” Season 3 in global viewing, and U.S. cross-platform viewers are growing beyond the average 1.7m per episode, per HBO.

“We’re privileged to have joined the small, esteemed club of dramas that have run for five seasons on HBO,” Down and Kay shared in a statement. 

“This March marks a decade since we first began to conceive of the world of Industry and it exists because of the unwavering faith and vision of our partners and former partners at HBO — Casey, Frannie, Kara, Cela, Sam, Kathleen, and Max.”

“Without Jane Tranter’s imagination and belief, the show would simply be a dead idea in a drawer somewhere. She — alongside her partners at Bad Wolf — has been our guiding light and fiercest champion. We’d also like to thank the BBC for their partnership,” Down and Kay concluded.

Their statement continues as follows:

For some time now we have been thinking about how best to end the show on an unparalleled high. Unlike some of our characters, we know when to leave a party. We’d like to thank our evangelical fan base, especially those who have watched from day one. Finally: we owe everything to our crew and the best cast on TV for making our writing live. The characters will live on because of their world class performances. Seeing the HBO ident in front of our work will never stop being a thrill. It remains the best place to make television, and we look forward to continuing our collaboration well into the future.”

Francesca Orsi, Executive Vice President, HBO Programming, Head of HBO Drama Series and Films, also shared a statement about Industry‘s renewal:

“For four seasons, Industry has thrilled us while examining power, money, politics, and class. Under Mickey and Konrad’s ambitious and singular vision, it has solidified itself as an important contemporary, genre-bending drama in HBO’s lineup that keeps viewers on the edge of their seat week after week. It is gratifying that viewers and critics have recognized season four as bigger and more thrilling than ever, buoyed by career defining performances from our magnificent cast. Alongside the amazing team under executive producer Jane Tranter at Bad Wolf and executive producer Kathleen McCaffrey at Little Gems, we are so proud we can announce the fifth season of this terrific show, which Mickey and Konrad have decided will take us to the end of Industry’s story.”

Industry Season 4 stars Myha’la, Marisa Abela, Kit Harington, Ken Leung, Max Minghella, Miriam Petche, Sagar Radia, Toheeb Jimoh, Charlie Heaton, Amy James-Kelly, Roger Barclay, Andrew Havill, Kiernan Shipka, Kal Penn, Jack Farthing, Stephen Campbell Moore, Claire Forlani, and Edward Holcroft.

The series is a Bad Wolf Production for HBO/BBC. 

Its executive producers include Jane Tranter, Kate Crowther, and Ryan Rasmussen for Bad Wolf; Kathleen McCaffrey for Little Gems; and Rebecca Ferguson for BBC.

Mickey Down & Konrad Kay, Michelle Savill, and Luke Snellin direct Industry Season 4, while Mickey Down & Konrad Kay and Joseph Charlton write the series.
