HBO has given the green light to Industry Season 4, which will continue the critically acclaimed series created by Mickey Down and Konrad Kay. From Bad Wolf, the series concludes its eight-episode third season on Sunday, September 29, on HBO and Max.
Season three of Industry is pacing nearly 40% ahead of season two, with an average of 1.6 million viewers per episode and growing. Viewership for Industry in the past five weeks ranks among its top five weeks ever.
Industry gives an insider’s view of the black box of high finance following a group of young bankers as they forge their identities within the pressure cooker environment and sex and drug-fueled blitz of international bank Pierpoint & Co’s London office.
In season three, as Pierpoint looks to the future and takes a big bet on ethical investing, Yasmin (Marisa Abela), Robert (Harry Lawtey), and Eric (Ken Leung) find themselves front and center in the splashy IPO of Lumi, a green tech energy company led by Sir Henry Muck (Kit Harington), in a story that runs all the way to the very top of finance, media, and government.
Since leaving Pierpoint, Harper (Myha’la) is eager to get back into the addictive thrill of finance and finds an unlikely partner in FutureDawn portfolio manager Petra Koenig (Sarah Goldberg).
The cast also includes Conor MacNeill, Sagar Radia, Miriam Petche, Indy Lewis, Adam Levy, Sarah Parish, Trevor White, Elena Saurel, Irfan Shamji, Andrew Havill, Roger Barclay, Fady Elsayed, and Fiona Button.
“For three seasons, Industry has been unflinching in its examination of ambition and class, solidifying itself as a marquee HBO drama,” said Francesca Orsi, Executive Vice President of HBO Programming and Head of HBO Drama Series and Films. “Under Mickey and Konrad’s singular vision, this twisted, thrilling look at London finance has redefined the contemporary workplace show.
“We’re so excited that viewers and critics have recognized season three as bigger and better than ever, buoyed by sublime performances from our unparalleled cast. We have no doubt that Mickey and Konrad, alongside the amazing team under executive producer Jane Tranter at Bad Wolf and executive producer Kathleen McCaffrey, will take season four to even greater heights.”
“We are beyond thrilled and grateful to HBO, the incredible team at Bad Wolf, and our phenomenal cast and crew for their continued belief in Industry and for allowing us to grow as creators, writers, and now directors whilst taking the show to new heights. We can’t wait to dive deeper and deliver the best season yet in season 4,” added creators, writers, directors, and executive producers Mickey Down and Konrad Kay.
Jane Tranter, executive producer and CEO and Founder of Bad Wolf said: “It has been an extraordinary journey over the past 8 years from initial development to now the commission of a fourth season of Industry. HBO’s unswerving belief in Mickey, Konrad, the cast, and the whole creative team at Bad Wolf is a huge vote of confidence in uncertain times.
“This commitment to nurturing new talent and investment in quality programming has resulted in a show we are all exceptionally proud of. Bad Wolf cannot wait to get everyone back to Wolf Studios Wales to take Industry to even greater heights.”
The series is a Bad Wolf Production for HBO/BBC and is executive produced by Jane Tranter, Kate Crowther, and Ryan Rasmussen for Bad Wolf, and Rebecca Ferguson for BBC. The directors include Mickey Down & Konrad Kay, Isabella Eklöf, and Zoé Wittock. Kathleen McCaffrey of Little Gems will be joining as executive producer for Industry Season 4.
