HBO drama Industry season 4 premieres in the UK on BBC One and BBC iPlayer from 12 January 2026, aligning with US airings. Building on the recently released trailer, the eight episodes feature returning cast, high-profile newcomers, and new plotlines centred on a fintech firm amid strained friendships and high-stakes intrigue.
Industry was renewed for a fourth season in September 2024, after season three's acclaimed run. Executive VP Francesca Orsi praised the show's growth, calling it a 'marquee HBO drama' with sublime performances, confident season four will elevate further under creators Mickey Down and Konrad Kay, and producers Jane Tranter and Kathleen McCaffrey.
Picking up from season three's events—as previewed in HBO's December trailer—Harper Stern (Myha'la) and Yasmin Kara-Hanani (Marisa Abela), Pierpoint alumni at career peaks, enter a globetrotting cat-and-mouse game with fintech firm Tender. Yasmin navigates her engagement to Sir Henry Muck (Kit Harington), while Harper deals with executive Whitney Halberstram (Max Minghella), testing their bond amid money and power.
Returning: Ken Leung (Eric Tao), Sagar Radia (Rishi Ramdani), Tom Stourton (James Ashford), and others reeling from season three's finale. Newcomers include Charlie Heaton (Stranger Things) as journalist Jim Dycker, Kal Penn as Tender CEO Jay Jonah Atterbury, Kiernan Shipka (Mad Men) as assistant Hayley Clay, Jack Farthing as Edward Smith, Amy James-Kelly as Jennifer Bevan, Claire Forlani as Cordelia Hanani-Spyrka (Yasmin's family link), and Sebastian Stefanowicz as Edward Holcroft. Notably absent: Harry Lawtey (Robert Spearing), whose arc ended post-Yasmin's decision; Lawtey told The Telegraph he and writers were satisfied.
Myha'la teased to RadioTimes.com: 'Drugs, sex, rock and roll. It's going to be great.' Abela told Deadline Yasmin's evolution excites as only audiences know the 'real' her. Creators Down and Kay thanked HBO, Bad Wolf, cast, and crew.
The UK run on BBC syncs with HBO's eight-episode weekly episodes starting 11 January.
