All good things have a curtain‑call moment. HBO has officially renewed Industry for a fifth and final season, closing the chapter on one of the network’s sharpest, most addictive dramas.
The news arrives just as the series — created by Mickey Down and Konrad Kay — wrapped its fourth season this past Sunday. According to Francesca Orsi, HBO’s executive vice president of programming, it was the creators’ decision to end the show with Season 5, not the network’s.
As any media insider knows, when a series ends, it’s usually because of executive decisions, shifting budgets, or corporate strategy. But this time, the call came from the artisans themselves — the storytellers who built the world of Pierpoint from the ground up.
Fresh music, bold entertainment, and men’s fashion—one tight email a week.
It’s refreshing, honestly. A show ending because the creators said what they came to say. A show with closure, not cancellation. A show allowed to finish its arc on its own terms — something increasingly rare in today’s entertainment landscape.
And in these times? It feels downright appropriate.
