Industry Season Five to Wrap Up the Series on HBO
HBO announced today that Industry Season Five will wrap up the critically acclaimed drama series from Bad Wolf. Created by Mickey Down and Konrad Kay, the series concludes its eight-episode fourth season on Sunday, March 1, at 8:00 pm ET/PT, an hour early, on HBO and HBO Max.
HBO says global viewing for Season 4 is pacing roughly 30% ahead of Season 3. U.S. cross-platform viewers are averaging 1.7 million per episode, and that number is growing.
In the fourth season, at the top of their game and living the lives they set out to have as Pierpoint grads, Harper (Myha’la) and Yasmin (Marisa Abela) are drawn into a high-stakes, globetrotting cat-and-mouse game when a splashy fintech darling bursts onto the London scene.
As Yasmin navigates her relationship with tech founder Sir Henry Muck (Kit Harington) and Harper is pulled into the orbit of enigmatic executive Whitney Halberstram (Max Minghella), their twisted friendship begins to warp and ignite under the pressure of money, power, and the desire to be on top.
The Industry Season Four cast includes 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.
“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 seats week after week,” said Francesca Orsi, Executive Vice President, HBO Programming, Head of HBO Drama Series and Films.
Orsi added, “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.”
Mickey Down and Konrad Kay, creators, showrunners, writers, directors, and executive producers, commented: “We’re privileged to have joined the small, esteemed club of dramas that have run for five seasons on HBO. 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.
Down and Kay continued, “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.”
“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.”
Jane Tranter, executive producer, CEO, and founder of Bad Wolf, said, “When we first pitched the idea for Industry to HBO, Casey and I believed this might be ‘the little engine that could.’ Over 10 years later, Industry has more than proven this to be true.
“Mickey and Konrad have magnificently matured a raw, brilliant idea into a bold and uncompromising drama series passionately appreciated by both critics and its fiercely loyal fanbase. It has been loved onto the screen by the ferocious talent of MK, the exceptional executives at HBO, and the world-class production team in Wolf Studios Wales, where Bad Wolf has filmed every season.
“Watching Mickey and Konrad and our extraordinary and beloved cast grow over the seasons continues to be a huge privilege. And now to see Industry take its place among HBO’s most distinguished long-running drama series is to the great credit of them all.”
Industry is created, written, and executive produced by Mickey Down & Konrad Kay. The series is a Bad Wolf Production for HBO/BBC, executive produced by Jane Tranter, Kate Crowther, and Ryan Rasmussen for Bad Wolf; Kathleen McCaffrey for Little Gems; and Rebecca Ferguson for BBC.
The directors include Mickey Down & Konrad Kay, Michelle Savill, and Luke Snellin. The writers include Mickey Down & Konrad Kay, and Joseph Charlton.
