Mickey Down and Konrad Kay created the drama. They executive produce with Jane Tranter, Kate Crowther, Ryan Rasmussen, Kathleen McCaffrey and Rebecca Ferguson. Bad Wolf and Little Gems produce.
"For four seasons, Industry has thrilled us while examining power, money, politics, and class," said Francesca Orsi, Executive Vice President, HBO Programming, Head of HBO Drama Series and Films. "Under Mickey and Konrad's ambitious and singular vision, it has solidified itself as an important contemporary, genre-bending drama in HBO's lineup that keeps viewers on the edge of their seat week after week. It is gratifying that viewers and critics have recognized season four as bigger and more thrilling than ever, buoyed by career defining performances from our magnificent cast. Alongside the amazing team under executive producer Jane Tranter at Bad Wolf and executive producer Kathleen McCaffrey at Little Gems, we are so proud we can announce the fifth season of this terrific show, which Mickey and Konrad have decided will take us to the end of Industry's story."
"We're privileged to have joined the small, esteemed club of dramas that have run for five seasons on HBO," added Down and Kay. "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 alos 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."
