Industry Season 5 Is Happening: Here’s What We Know

Company-wide email: Season five of Industry has just been confirmed.

HBO has renewed Industry for a fifth and final season.

The news comes as little surprise, as the show has been the talk of the town. Industry, produced by Bad Wolf, has seen season four average around 1.7 million viewers per episode so far — a 30 percent improvement on season three.

The penultimate season’s finale will be released on March 1 at 8 p.m. on HBO and HBO Max. Note that this is an hour earlier than the usual broadcast time, so don’t risk missing it! Over here, we can watch it on BBC.

In season four, Harper (Myha’la) and Yasmin (Marisa Abela) were drawn into a high-stakes, globetrotting cat-and-mouse game when a splashy fintech darling bursts onto the London scene. As Yasmin navigated her relationship with tech founder Sir Henry Muck (Kit Harington) and Harper was pulled into the orbit of enigmatic executive Whitney Halberstram (Max Minghella), their complicated friendship continued to warp and intensify under the pressure of money, power, and ambition.

Will season five be the final season of Industry?

Before you start drafting a petition, note that creators Mickey Down and Konrad Kay were the ones who decided to conclude Industry with season five, according to HBO’s official statement accompanying the renewal announcement.

“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,” Francesca Orsi, HBO’s executive vice president of programming and the head of its drama series and films, said. “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.”
