The HBO series Industry returns for its fourth season on January 11, 2026, diving deeper into finance, politics, and technology. New episodes will air weekly, exploring themes of power and capitalism through a fictional fintech company's challenges. Guest stars including Max Minghella and Kiernan Shipka join the cast amid a storyline involving financial fraud and free speech issues.
Industry, the acclaimed drama about young bankers in London, kicks off its fourth season on HBO this Sunday, January 11, 2026, at 9 p.m. ET. Episodes will stream simultaneously on Max, with the full eight-episode run unfolding weekly.
The season centers on a major financial fraud at the fictional fintech firm Tender, which derives much of its revenue from processing payments for an OnlyFans-like platform called Siren. As the UK faces new age verification laws and anti-porn policies from the Labour Party, Tender grapples with 'going clean' with its funds, highlighting the ties between money and free speech. Co-creator Mickey Down explained to The Daily Beast: "Season 4 is all about a big financial fraud, and how it plays out. There’s a lot more politics and finance stuff. We wanted it to be about more politics and finance. We wanted it to be about power and capitalism."
Harper Stern, played by Myha'la, rises as a fund manager at Pierpoint, but her ascent raises questions about sustainability in a cutthroat world. The storyline expands beyond banking into porn and politics, reflecting real-world tensions.
Adding star power are guest actors Max Minghella, Kiernan Shipka, Charlie Heaton, Kal Penn, and Claire Forlani, all tied to Tender's political and financial dilemmas.
