‘Industry’ Season 5 Casting: Dianna Agron, Cary Elwes, Jessica Brown Findlay & More Join Final Season

Industry is returning for a fifth season, and the cast just got bigger!

The HBO television show was officially renewed for a fifth and final season earlier this year.

Joining the upcoming final season include Dianna Agron, Cary Elwes, and Jessica Brown Findlay, as well as Sam Riley, Luke Manley, Bally Gill, and Eduard Pollakov, according to Variety.

They join another previously announced new addition!

Dianna is set to play the CFO of a wellness company, Skip Binksy; Cary will play investor Padgett Stillman; Jessica joins as Marina St Clair, who is said to be “a family friend of Sir Henry Muck (Kit Harington)”; Sam has been cast as Solomon Kerr, who is “an elusive British businessman who made his fortune in Silicon Valley.”

Luke will play an execution trader named Stevie Belmonte; Bally is portraying Nikesh Shah, “a charismatic left-wing politician”; and Eduard has been cast as a trader named Olexij Kovalchuk.

What is Industry about?

The series “gives an insider’s view of the blackbox of ‘high finance’ through the eyes of an outsider, Harper Stern (Myha’la), a talented young woman from upstate New York. Following a group of young grads fueled by ambition, youth, romance and drugs, Industry examines issues of gender, race, class, and privilege in the workplace as these impressionable young minds begin to forge their identities within the pressure cooker environment and sensory blitz of Pierpoint & Co’s trading floor, where meritocracy is promised but hierarchy is king.”

Here’s the season four synopsis: At the top of their game and living the lives they set out to have as Pierpoint grads, Harper (Myha’la) and Yasmin (Marisa Abela) are drawn into a high stakes, globetrotting cat-and-mouse game when a splashy fintech darling bursts onto the London scene. As Yasmin navigates her relationship with tech founder Sir Henry Muck (Kit Harington) and Harper is pulled into the orbit of enigmatic executive Whitney Halberstram (Max Minghella), their twisted friendship begins to warp and ignite under the pressure of money, power, and the desire to be on top.

What the show’s creators said about the series ending

Mickey Down & Konrad Kay, the show’s creators, said in a statement, “We’re privileged to have joined the small, esteemed club of dramas that have run for five seasons on HBO. 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 — Casey, Frannie, Kara, Cela, Sam, Kathleen, and Max. Without Jane Tranter’s imagination and belief, the show would simply be a dead idea in a drawer somewhere. She — alongside her partners at Bad Wolf — has been our guiding light and fiercest champion. We’d also like to thank the BBC for their partnership.

They added about deciding to end the show, “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. 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.”
