Fans of the popular HBO Max series “Industry” might want to brace themselves for this update on the show that focuses on a group of characters navigating the world of finance, as HBO Max has announced they’ll be moving forward with a fifth season, which will be the show’s last.
We’re sure that for many, this will be a bittersweet end to the show, but as we’ve seen, popularity with streaming/television doesn’t always mean that it is enough for creatives and cast to stick around. Some see that with extra exposure it leads to all sorts of offers for new things, so perhaps this means the team and cast will be readying for other things, yet to be announced.
With that said, creators Mickey Down and Konrad Kay said the following about the show’s ending in an official statement: “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. 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.”
The latest run of episodes featured a cast that included 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.
What the future holds for the creative team behind “Industry” is a little unknown for the moment, but given the show’s fevered popularity since launching back in late 2020, we have to assume the pair will end up securing their next projects in the very near future.
