Created by Mickey Down and Konrad Kay, the drama series Industry, produced by Bad Wolf for HBO and BBC, has been officially renewed for a fifth and final season. This announcement comes as the fourth season, consisting of eight episodes, is currently airing on HBO Max and is set to conclude in early March. Since its debut in 2020, the series has established itself as one of the most sharp and contemporary portrayals of the international finance world.
The fourth season followed Harper (Myha’la) and Yasmin (Marisa Abela), now at the height of their careers, as they faced the shockwave of a rising fintech startup taking London by storm. The arrival of new market players sparked a web of alliances and rivalries where personal ambitions, money, and influence reshuffled the power dynamics. Yasmin formed a strategic connection with Sir Henry Muck (Kit Harington), while Harper drew closer to the company leader Whitney Halberstram (Max Minghella).
Throughout the episodes, the tension between the two young women escalated, set against a backdrop of international maneuvering and institutional pressures. The series continued to delve into the dynamics of power, social class, and the addictive mechanisms characteristic of the ultra-competitive world of finance.
HBO reports that global viewership for season 4 has increased by roughly 30% compared to the previous installment. In the United States, multi-platform audiences now average around 1.7 million viewers per episode. Critics have also praised the season for its bold storytelling and cinematic ambitions, with several international outlets calling it a significant turning point in the series' development.
Francesca Orsi, HBO's Executive Vice President of Programming, praised the vision of Mickey Down and Konrad Kay, stating that the fifth season will serve as the story’s fitting conclusion. The creators, who also serve as writers, directors, and executive producers, have been working for some time to craft the final chapter of the narrative. Jane Tranter (Bad Wolf) and Kathleen McCaffrey (Little Gems) continue their roles as executive producers alongside the longstanding team.
Since 2020, Industry follows a group of recent graduates striving to make their mark in a London investment bank, in a world driven by high stakes, ego, and excess that shape human interactions. Over four seasons, the series has expanded its scope, shifting from a coming-of-age story to a sweeping exploration of the intertwined worlds of finance, politics, and technology. Season 5 will bring this journey to a close.
