The fourth season of Industry premiered on Sunday, January 11, 2026, with new episodes dropping weekly on HBO and HBO Max at 9 p.m. ET. It spans eight episodes, culminating with the finale on March 1, 2026.
A Fresh Financial Thriller with Global Stakes
Industry Season 4 ups the ante with a global, thriller-style narrative that takes our characters far from London’s Pierpoint trading floor. The season focuses on a fintech company called Tender, which introduces new levels of corporate intrigue, political drama, and ethical dilemmas.
“Season 4 is all about a big financial fraud, and how it plays out… power and capitalism.” — co-creator Mickey Down
The tension between Harper and Yasmin intensifies. Yasmin balances her relationship with tech mogul Sir Henry Muck (Kit Harington), while Harper gets tangled in the orbit of the enigmatic Whitney Halberstram (Max Minghella).
