Industry season 4: Release date, confirmed cast, trailer and latest news
"We can't wait to dive deeper and deliver the best season yet in season 4."
It's been a long time coming, but Industry season 4 is here in a matter of days - with a cast of both returning and new cast members.
New cast members include Stranger Things star Charlie Heaton, Claire Forlani (Departure) and Kal Penn (Designated Survivor), as well as The Handmaid's Tale star Max Minghella, The Last Showgirl's Kiernan Shipka, and The Serial Killer's Wife's Jack Farthing, Toheeb Jimoh (Ted Lasso) and Amy James-Kelly (Coronation Street).
As for returning faces, some fans may be surprised by the fact that Sagar Radia is back as Rishi after the dramatic cliffhanger of season 3. Well, Rishi is set to face a new rock bottom in season 4, with the actor teasing that this season is "emotionally demanding", saying: "It was great for me as an actor; I was playing someone seen as the comic relief initially, which then evolved to explore a more painful and human side to the character."
He added: "We got to shift the tone of what Rishi’s previous rhythm was into something more real rather than sensational and that was gratifying for me.”
Elsewhere on the returning front are the only Pierpoint graduates left – Harper (Myha'la) and Yasmin (Marisa Abela), with things on the marriage front seeming to be in a precarious predicament for Yasmin and Henry (Kit Harington).
Abela teased: “Yasmin is married to Henry Muck and their relationship is spinning out of control. She is not only a wife, but essentially a caregiver to someone who resents her for needing her care."
At the time of its renewal back in September 2024, executive vice president of HBO Programming and head of HBO drama series and films, Francesca Orsi, said: "For three seasons, Industry has been unflinching in its examination of ambition and class, solidifying itself as a marquee HBO drama.
"Under [co-creators] Mickey [Down] and Konrad [Kay's] singular vision, this twisted, thrilling look at London finance has redefined the contemporary workplace show."
"We have no doubt that Mickey and Konrad, alongside the amazing team under executive producer Jane Tranter at Bad Wolf and executive producer Kathleen McCaffrey, will take season 4 to even greater heights," added Orsi.
The new fourth season has already spawned plenty of glowing reviews, bagging a 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes ahead of its official release in the UK and US later this week. But when exactly will the new season air, who will star and what will it be about?

**Spoiler warning for Industry season 3**
Industry season 4 release date
Industry season 4 will premiere in the UK on Monday 12th January 2026 on BBC One and BBC iPlayer, with new episodes being released weekly rather than as a boxset.
The UK release is in line with the US, where episodes will be available to watch on HBO and HBO Max. The series will consist of eight episodes as with previous seasons so mark your calendars, people!
Who stars in Industry season 4?
The confirmed cast of Industry for season 4 is as follows.
- Myha'la as Harper Stern
- Marisa Abela as Yasmin Kara-Hanani
- Kit Harington as Sir Henry Muck
- Charlie Heaton as Jim Dycker
- Toheeb Jimoh as Kwabena Bannerman
- Kal Penn as Jay Jonah Atterbury
- Miriam Petche as Sweetpea Golightly
- Sagar Radia as Rishi Ramdani
- Kiernan Shipka as Hayley Clay
- Ken Leung as Eric Tao
- Max Minghella as Whitney Halberstram
- Andrew Havill as Alexander, Viscount Norton
- Roger Barclay as Otto Mostyn
- Tom Stourton as James Ashford
- Jack Farthing as Edward Smith
- Amy James-Kelly as Jennifer Bevan
- Claire Forlani as Cordelia Hanani-Spyrka
- Edward Holcroft as Sebastian Stefanowicz
We're set to see plenty more of Kit Harington's Sir Henry Muck as he and Yasmin are married, with their wedding being the talk of the town in the season 3 finale. We will also see the return of Henry's uncle, Alexander, Viscount Norto, and Henry's godfather and Harper's new business partner, Otto Mostyn.
Tom Stourton is also back as James Ashford, CEO of Ashford Asset Management, whose business Harper was keen to get involved in.
Max Minghella will be starring as the company founder of Tender, a payment processing company that we're sure will be integral to the season 4 plot line. Kiernan Shipka, who is known for her roles in Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Mad Men, and Twisters, will be starring as Hayley Clay, an executive assistant at Tender.
Henry is set to bring another friend into the main cast fold as Jack Farthing will play Edward Smith, Henry's longtime friend and "troublemaker", according to the official character description.
Other cast members include Toheeb Jimoh as Kwabena Bannerman, a trader at Mostyn Asset Management with Harper, while Amy James-Kelly will be starring as Jennifer Bevan, a newly promoted minister in the new Labour government.
It's now also been announced that Kal Penn will be joining the cast as Jay Jonah Atterbury, the CEO and co-founder of payment processor Tender, so we can expect plenty of scenes alongside Minghella.
Elsewhere, Stranger Things star Charlie Heaton is confirmed to star as Jim Dycker, who is a finance journalist, but no other details have been given about his role yet. Will he be pursuing a big story or just caught in the crossfire?
As for Claire Forlani, it's been revealed that she will be starring as Cordelia Hanani-Spyrka, "a corporate PR heavy-hitter" who also happens to share one of the same surnames as Abela's Yasmin and likely is part of her complicated extended family.
Finally, London Spy star Edward Holcroft has joined the cast as Sebastian Stefanowicz.
One person who is not returning is Harry Lawtey as Robert Spearing, who ended the last season in the US after Yasmin chose Henry over him.
Lawtey reflected on his decision to leave the hit series, telling The Telegraph: "Ultimately I feel like I’m in a place where I’ve said everything I had to say with a character, and I think both me and the writers felt mutually happy with where we left him."
What is the plot for Industry season 4?
The new season picks up after Harper has gone into business with Otto Mostyn for an ethically questionable business involving betting shorts based on insider information, while Yasmin is now with Sir Henry Muck - but what next for the couple?
Well, it seems Harper, Yasmin and Henry are all to be drawn into the orbit of payment processing company Tender.
The official description for the season reads: "At the top of their game and living the lives they set out to have as Pierpoint grads, Harper and Yasmin 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 and Harper is pulled into the orbit of enigmatic executive Whitney Halberstram, their twisted friendship begins to warp and ignite under the pressure of money, power, and the desire to be on top."
Abela has teased that season 4 will be "the hardest version of [Yasmin]", with her character set to take us on quite the roller oaster journey once again. She told Deadline: "I think that the only people that know Yasmin … the real Yasmin, are the audience now, and that’s just a really exciting place to be."
The biggest question mark remains over the stressful life of Rishi Ramdani after the violent events of the season 3 finale, which saw his wife murdered in front of him by the criminal he owed money to. With Sagar Radia set to return for season 4, we know we'll be picking back up with Rishi, but as to how his life has panned out, we'll just have to wait and see...
