HBO Sending The Remaining 'Industry' Episodes To HBO Max This Week

The Streaming Wars, they have begun. HBO Max is starting to get aggressive. We know that Warner Bros. has decided to release “Wonder Woman 1984” on HBO Max and whatever theaters are open simultaneously on December 25. Now, in a power move meant to entice a new potential group of subscribers, the company will release all the remaining episodes of the critically-acclaimed new HBO drama, “Industry,” later this week.

“Industry” gives an insider’s view of the black box of “high finance” through the eyes of an outsider, Harper Stern (Myha’la Herrold), a talented young woman from upstate New York. Following a group of young grads fueled by ambition, youth, romance, and drugs, INDUSTRY examines issues of gender, race, class, and privilege in the workplace as these impressionable young minds begin to forge their identities within the pressure-cooker environment and sensory blitz of Pierpoint & Co’s trading floor, where meritocracy is promised, but hierarchy is king.

“Industry” follows a group of young graduates competing for a limited number of permanent positions at a leading international bank in London, and HBO will drop the final five episodes of Season 1 on HBO Max this Friday, November 27. This marks the first time HBO will offer a mid-season episode drop of an original series, allowing viewers the option to binge-watch over Thanksgiving weekend and see how the graduates net out on their paths to prove their worth. If you’re more of a week-to-week viewer, the series will continue to air weekly on HBO linear (two-episode finale on December 21st; and reminder if you’re an HBO subscriber in the U.S., you have access to HBO Max as part of your HBO subscription).

We spoke to the showrunners Mickey Down and Konrad Kay, relative newcomers and longtime friends who created the series together after working in the financial sector the show is based in. They revealed that Nia DaCosta did some writing on the show too. “We were actually fortunate that we had Nia DaCosta in the writer’s room, who between ‘Candyman‘ and ‘Captain Marvel,’ has some pretty huge things coming up,” they said. “She was critical in shaping Harper’s voice.”
 
“Industry” will continue to air weekly on Mondays at 10 p.m. ET. Or you can upgrade to HBO Max and binge the entire thing over the Thanksgiving weekend starting November 27.
