HBO's Industry Lines Up Star-Studded Cast for Fifth and Final Season
HBO has revealed a wave of new cast additions for the fifth and final season of Industry, with Cary Elwes, Dianna Agron, Sam Riley, Jessica Brown Findlay, Luke Manley, Bally Gill, and Eduard Poliakov all boarding the banking drama in guest and supporting roles. Zosia Mamet has also joined the ensemble. The announcement, reported by Deadline on 17 August 2026, gives the most detailed picture yet of how the show's last chapter is taking shape.
Mamet plays Carmen Dame, a fitness influencer-turned-wellness tech founder and CEO. Agron plays Skip Binksy, the CFO of that same wellness tech company, while Elwes takes on Padgett Stillman, an investor. Riley plays Solomon Kerr, described as an elusive British businessman who made his fortune in Silicon Valley. Brown Findlay steps in as Marina St. Clair, a family friend of Sir Henry Muck — a character familiar to viewers from earlier seasons. On the political side, Gill plays Nikesh Shah, a charismatic left-wing politician. Manley plays Stevie Delmonte, an execution trader — a role that involves carrying out large share trades on behalf of clients. Poliakov rounds out the group as Olexij Kovalchuk, a trader.
The casting news lands on solid footing. Industry's fourth season drew 800,000 U.S. cross-platform viewers for its premiere within three days, up 20% over the Season 3 premiere, according to HBO. By the time the series was renewed for its fifth and final season, Season 4 episodes were averaging 1.7 million U.S. viewers. Globally, Season 4 viewing outpaced Season 3 by roughly 30%.
For a show that began as a narrow look at young graduates fighting for seats on a London trading floor, the final season's cast list points to a widening scope. Wellness tech, left-wing politics, and Silicon Valley wealth are all now in the mix — suggesting the world of Industry has expanded well beyond the trading desk.
The series is created, written, and executive produced by Mickey Down and Konrad Kay, with writer Joseph Charlton. It is a Bad Wolf production for HBO and the BBC, executive produced by Jane Tranter, Kate Crowther, and Ryan Rasmussen for Bad Wolf; Kathleen McCaffrey for Little Gems; and Rebecca Ferguson for the BBC.
No premiere date for Season 5 has been announced.
