IGN · 3 hours ago

HBO has revealed seven new cast additions for the fifth and final season of its finance drama Industry, currently in production in the UK. The announcement has drawn attention chiefly for its characters' distinctive names, continuing the show's tradition of memorable monikers alongside existing figures such as Harper Stern and Sweetpea Golightly.

Dianna Agron (Glee) will play Skip Binksy, CFO of a tech wellness company likely founded by Zosia Mamet's previously announced character Carmen Dune. Other new faces include Cary Elwes as investor Padgett Stillman, Sam Riley as businessman Solomon Kerr, Jessica Brown Findlay as Marina St. Clair, Bally Gill as politician Nikesh Shah, and Luke Manley and Eduard Pliakov as traders Stevie Delmonte and Olexij Kovalchuk. Industry Season 5 has no confirmed release date yet but is expected to begin airing in early 2027.
