With this weekend’s Season 4 finale of HBO’s hit financial drama series Industry, fans may be pining for more and wondering whether the cliffhanger conclusion wherein one of the main characters turns into Ghislaine Maxwell (figuratively, not literally) marks the end of the show’s run. So…
Luckily, on February 25, 2026, HBO officially announced the renewal of Industry for a fifth and final season.
In a statement by Francesca Orsi, the Executive Vice President of HBO Programming and Head of HBO Drama Series and Films, she announced the fifth season of Industry with pleasure.
“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.”
Series creators, writers, and executive producers Mickey Down and Konrad Kay responded to the renewal, saying, “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.” They went on to thank the show’s loyal fanbase and their past and current partners at HBO and Bad Wolf.
According to HBO, in its fourth season, Industry’s global viewing was roughly +30% ahead of the third season, with U.S. cross-platform viewers averaging 1.7M per episode so far. TV critics praised Season 4 for its “wildly ambitious reinvention,” and called it the show’s “best season yet“: “more self-assured, more stylish, and more powerful than ever before.”
A release date for Season 5 has yet to be set, although past seasons of Industry have consistently been released every two years.
We will keep you posted when HBO announces a return date for the fifth and final season of Industry.
