HBO‘s ‘Industry’ is going out on top.
The network has renewed the finance drama for a fifth and final season, creators Mickey Down and Konrad Kay announced. The series will air its season four finale March 1 at 8 PM ET/PT on HBO and HBO Max, one hour earlier than usual.
“We’re privileged to have joined the small, esteemed club of dramas that have run for five seasons on HBO,” Down and Kay said in a statement. “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.”
They continued:
“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.”
Season 4 has been averaging 1.7 million viewers per episode across U.S. platforms, roughly 30% ahead of where season three was at the same point. The show stars Myha’la, Marisa Abela, Kit Harington, and Max Minghella.
Francesca Orsi, executive vice president of HBO Programming, praised the series: “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.”
Executive producer Jane Tranter added: “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.”
