Growing pains: Industry has shown that bigger isn’t always better

The fourth season of TV’s once underrated drama has maxed out on everything – sex, nastiness, nihilism – and it’s been a major miscalculation

There’s a lot of talk about growth on Industry, the hit HBO/BBC drama concerning the ruthless world of London finance. Characters wax poetic and soothingly incoherent (to the layperson) about stocks and shorts, asset values and private funds. Charismatic entrepreneurs peddle the latest groundbreaking green energy company or democratized bank or, to quote one particularly foul-mouthed character in a show full of scoundrels, “the Paypal of bukkake”. All espouse and consecrate the profit motive.

‘Industry’ Renewed for Fifth and Final Season at HBO

“Industry” has been renewed for Season 5 at HBO, which will be the show’s final season.

The series, created by Mickey Down and Konrad Kay, is set to air its Season 4 finale on March 1 one hour earlier than usual at 8 p.m. ET/PT on HBO and HBO Max.

“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 — 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.”

One of Industry’s perverse delights is how long it persists in the excruciating state of moral suspense. Its world is gross; its central characters are ever-spiraling into darker versions of themselves. And the “good guys” have been only a touch less grim than the bad ones — at least until now. In the absence of recurring moralizing, much of our understanding of what Industry has been trying to say will be determined by how the series ends, which we now know it will after one more season. Given the black hole that “Both/And” plunges us into, it’s hard to imagine an eight-episode map toward happily ever after.
