Industry Season 4: Everything We Know So Far

Some big changes are in store when the soapy finance drama "Industry" returns to HBO for Season 4.

Reads the season's official description: "At the top of their game and living the lives they set out to have as Pierpoint grads, Harper (Myha'la) and Yasmin (Marisa Abela) are drawn into a high stakes, globetrotting cat-and-mouse game when a splashy fintech darling bursts onto the London scene. As Yasmin navigates her relationship with tech founder Sir Henry Muck (Kit Harington) and Harper is pulled into the orbit of enigmatic executive Whitney Halberstram (Max Minghella), their twisted friendship begins to warp and ignite under the pressure of money, power, and the desire to be on top."

"Industry" also stars Sagar Radia ("The Good Karma Hospital"), Miriam Petche ("The Worst Witch"), and Conor MacNeill ("The Tourist"). 

The series was renewed for Season 4 back in September of 2024, three days before Season 3's penultimate episode aired.

The upcoming season adds some highly intriguing names to its cast list, while one major player has exited for good. Scroll down to learn everything we know about Season 4 so far and be sure to bookmark this page! We'll be updating with more details as soon as they're available.

HBO has announced that the financial drama "Industry" will return for Season 4 on Sunday, Jan. 11 at 9/8c. 

HBO has dropped a brand-new trailer for Season 4 (watch it above). In the new clip, Eric (Leung) is back in action with Harper (Myha'la), while Yas (Abela) is planting herself at the very center of Henry's (Harington) next chapter. With an up-and-coming new "bank killer" named Tender looking to make massive moves, Harper looks to capitalize on a bet that's "high risk, high reward." Yas is, of course, on to her games, knowing there's sharks in the water looking to profit from harming Tender. Add in the usual sex, drugs, and very bad decisions, and you've got what looks to be another titillating edition of the still massively underrated "Industry."

Kiernan Shipka has a new job in the "Industry." The "Mad Men" and "Chilling Adventures of Sabrina" vet has joined Season 4 and will play Haley Clay, "an executive assistant at payment processor Tender."

Kal Penn ("Designated Survivor"), Charlie Heaton ("Stranger Things") and Claire Forlani ("NCIS: Los Angeles," "CSI: New York") have also joined the financial drama, Deadline reports. Penn will play Jay Jonah Atterbury, co-founder of payment processor Tender; Heaton will portray Jim Dycker, a finance journalist; and Forlani is Cordelia Hanani-Spyrka, a corporate PR heavy-hitter.

Minghella ("The Handmaid's Tale") has been added to the ensemble as Whitney Halberstram, the CFO and Founder of Tender.

Also boarding the series are Toheeb Jimoh ("Ted Lasso") as Kwabena Bannerman, a trader at Mostyn Asset Management; Jack Farthing ("Poldark") as Edward Smith, a troublemaker and long-time friend of Harington's Henry; and Amy James-Kelly ("Coronation Street") as Jennifer Bevan, the newly promoted Minister in the Labour government.

Unfortunately, we won't get to see if Robert's new start-up takes off because his portrayer Harry Lawtey is leaving the cast after three seasons. A source has said the exit is due to scheduling conflicts.

Lawtey played the young Pierpoint investment banker for the first three seasons of "Industry," which debuted on HBO in 2020. Robert endured a lot throughout his run — most notably, he had his heart broken by love interest Yasmin (Abela) when she announced her engagement to filthy rich tech CEO Henry Muck — but things were looking up as Season 3 closed, with Robert taking on a new role as a pitchman for a psilocybin start-up.

Aside from Robert's big career change and subsequent exit, things were equally as transformative for Pierpoint. After Eric threw Bill to the wolves and brokered an intro between the Pierpoint board and Al-Mi'raj, he was tossed out as well. The new owners began hacking more staffers than originally planned, and the London office is now being closed to focus on private wealth. (Read our full finale recap here.)

Worried about the Al-Miraj takeover, Rishi took a meeting with Harper, but all she did was humiliate him while Sweetpea watched. (Oh, and his wife was shot and killed after he got in over his head in gambling debts.)

Otto Mostyn confided to Harper that he was looking for a spiritual successor for his operations. He wanted to find someone who views trading the way that he does. Harper seemed intrigued, noting that the optics were good, but in a later meeting, Harper chose to double down on her partnership with Petra. 

After reading about Jesse Bloom's release from prison, Harper revealed to Mostyn that she wanted to start a short-only fund. He was intrigued by her subversive "anti-fraud fraudsters" pitch, but Harper told him it would only be criminal if they're caught. She wants to run this new scheme from New York. Are we bidding farewell to London and relocating to the States for good?
