‘Industry’ Renewed for Season 4 at HBO

“Industry” has been renewed for Season 4 at HBO. The news comes less than two weeks before the Season 3 finale, which is scheduled to air on Sept. 29.

“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.”

Per HBO, the third season of the series is averaging 1.6 million viewers per episode across all platforms, up nearly 40% from Season 2, while the show’s viewership for the past five weeks rank among its five best performances ever.

“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,” series creators Mickey Down and Konrad Kay said. “We can’t wait to dive deeper and deliver the best season yet in season 4.”

The official description of Season 3 states:

“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.

“It has been an extraordinary journey over the past 8 years from initial development to now the commission of a fourth season of ‘Industry,” said Bad Wolf founder and CEO and series executive producer Jane Tranter. “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.”

Down and Kay serve as writers, executive producers, and directors for the series. Tranter executive produces along with Kate Crowther, and Ryan Rasmussen for Bad Wolf and Rebecca Ferguson for BBC. Isabella Eklöf and Zoé Wittock also direct. Kathleen McCaffrey of Little Gems will be joining as executive producer for the new season. The series is a Bad Wolf Production for HBO/BBC.
