‘Industry’ Starts Filming on Final Season

It’s the beginning of the end of Industry. The HBO drama has officially started filming its fifth and final season, which will feature HBO alum Zosia Mamet alongside returning stars Myha’la and Marisa Abela.

Industry co-creator and showrunner Konrad Kay commemorated the start of filming on his Instagram story on Monday, August 3, by sharing a photo of a clapper board from the second take of a scene (below), which looks like it’s set in a restaurant. The board reveals that Kay and his Industry co-creator, Mickey Down, are directing the episode together.

An Instagram post from the first table read of the season confirms that Kit Harington is back as Henry Muck and Miriam Petche is back as Sweetpea Golightly.

“We’re privileged to have joined the small, esteemed club of dramas that have run for five seasons on HBO,” the show’s creators, Mickey Down and Konrad Kay, said in a statement when the show was renewed. “This March marks a decade since we first began to conceive of the world of Industry, and it exists because of the unwavering faith and vision of our partners and former partners at HBO.”

“For some time now, we have been thinking about how best to end the show on an unparalleled high. Unlike some of our characters, we know when to leave a party,” they continued. “We’d like to thank our evangelical fan base, especially those who have watched from day one. Finally: We owe everything to our crew and the best cast on TV for making our writing live. The characters will live on because of their world-class performances. Seeing the HBO ident in front of our work will never stop being a thrill. It remains the best place to make television, and we look forward to continuing our collaboration well into the future.”

When does Industry Season 5 come out?

A premiere date will be announced at a later time, but there have been two-year waits between every season since it first debuted in 2020. It’s possible for the final season to come out a little earlier, but late 2027 or early 2028 seems the most likely.

What could happen in Industry‘s final season?

Industry Season 5 is going to be all about Harper and Yasmin, whose fraught friendship experienced a seismic shift in the Season 4 finale when Myha’la learned that Yasmin is now essentially a madame for the wealthy.

Down told The Wrap why Harper and Yasmin have survived every evolution of Industry: “The reason we arrived on them as the central axis of the show was because it was how the show evolved as other characters dropped away. We always were interested in the cosmic battle between Yasmin and Harper and whether their relationship is truly a zero-sum game as one of them posits in Season 1. The other thing is they’re just so f***ing good. We want to write them as much as possible. We love writing scenes between them, but we actually don’t have much opportunity to do it because they’re always on different sides of the equation.”

“Season 5 will really be about trying to navigate a relationship through what we saw them do at the end of Season 4, which was kind of existential,” he continued. “How do they have any kind of relationship after that is the question of Season 5. That relationship can be distant, it can be close, it can be personal, it can be proximity, it can be whatever, but it’s still going to be about their relationship because it always is.”
