A striking new poster for Industry Season 4 has arrived, confirming the return date for HBO’s financial drama. The poster features three central characters alongside a cryptic tagline, setting the stage for the new season.
The fourth season of the show will premiere on Sunday, January 11, 2026, at 9:00 PM ET/PT on HBO. New episodes will be available to stream weekly on HBO Max. In the UK, the season will launch on BBC iPlayer and BBC One in January 2026, with a specific date to be announced.
The New Season 4 Poster and Its Message
The newly released poster puts the spotlight on three key figures: Harper Stern (Myha’la), Yasmin Kara-Hanani (Marisa Abela), and Sir Henry Muck (Kit Harington). Harper and Yasmin, former Pierpoint graduates, are now navigating their careers and complicated friendship at the top of the financial world.
Below the show’s title, the poster carries a short, powerful tagline: “Lies move faster.”. This phrase hints at the high-stakes deception and rapid-paced intrigue that will define the new season’s plot.
What to Expect in Season 4: New Alliances and Global Games
The story picks up with Harper and Yasmin drawn into a dangerous game when a prominent new financial technology company emerges in London. This “splashy fintech darling” is a payment processing firm named Tender.
Yasmin will be managing her relationship with the tech founder, Sir Henry Muck, while Harper finds herself pulled into the orbit of a mysterious Tender executive named Whitney Halberstram (Max Minghella). The pressure of money, power, and ambition continues to test the women’s twisted friendship.
Creators Mickey Down and Konrad Kay describe the new season as blending elements of investigative, conspiracy, and erotic thrillers. The story expands its scope beyond the trading floor to examine wider impacts within the world of finance.
“We have broadened the canvas again,” said creators Mickey Down and Konrad Kay, noting that the eight new episodes “should make for the most compulsively watchable week-to-week viewing experience we’ve presented since we first aired.”
A New World: Leaving Pierpoint Behind
A major shift for Season 4 is the physical and symbolic move away from the familiar setting of Pierpoint & Co. The fictional investment bank’s offices, a central location for the first three seasons, are gone.
The new visual center is the sleek, modern headquarters of Tender in London’s Canary Wharf. Production designer Simon Rogers intended the set to have an “edge of danger,” suggesting that “if you bash into a wall, it might cut you”. This new environment reflects the sharper, riskier world the characters now inhabit.
Meet the New Power Players Joining the Cast
Season 4 introduces a significant group of new characters played by well-known actors, who will challenge the existing dynamics.
- Max Minghella plays Whitney Halberstram, the ambitious and enigmatic CFO and founder of Tender. Minghella describes Whitney as a “tornado of cutthroat ambition”.
- Kiernan Shipka joins as Hayley Clay, an executive assistant at Tender who Shipka calls “a wild character” and “absolutely fearless”.
- Charlie Heaton portrays Jim Dyker, a financial journalist determined to reclaim his credibility by any means necessary.
- Kal Penn plays Jay Jonah Atterburry, a co-founder of the fintech company.
- Toheeb Jimoh appears as Kwabena Bannerman, a trader with a confidence that clashes with Harper’s intensity.
- Amy James-Kelly is Jennifer “Jenni” Bevan, a newly promoted government minister who finds herself in a political battle with Henry Muck.
Other new cast members include Jack Farthing, Stephen Campbell Moore, Claire Forlani, and Edward Holcroft. Notable returning cast members include Ken Leung, Sagar Radia, Miriam Petche, and Andrew Havill. Harry Lawtey, who played Robert, will not return for the new season.
