HBO has renewed its new London-set drama series
Industry for a second season, according to The Hollywood Reporter. All of the episodes for Season 1 are available to stream now on HBO Max, with episodes also releasing weekly on the HBO channel until the season finale on December 21.

We also send a big thanks to our partners at Bad Wolf and BBC.”
