Industry is a drama series about the world of high finance, following young bankers and traders as they navigate ambition, rivalry and morality inside a fictional London investment bank. Created by Mickey Down and Konrad Kay, it has drawn praise for its sharp depiction of workplace pressure and the finance industry, building a devoted following since it first aired. It is produced for HBO and the BBC by Bad Wolf, and its returning cast includes Myha'la, Marisa Abela and Kit Harington.
The show is now filming its fifth season in the UK, which has already been confirmed as its last. As with previous series, each new run tends to bring in fresh characters to sit alongside the established ensemble, reflecting the shifting cast of colleagues, rivals and clients that populate the finance world the show depicts.
This matters because a show's final season often shapes how its overall story and characters are remembered, and casting news gives an early sense of the new storylines and figures that will feature before the series concludes.
