Industry Season 4 Sets Series-Best Premiere With 800,000 Viewers in First Three Days

The reported lift reflects a three-day measurement window plus a sharp rise in pre‑premiere catch‑up viewing.

Overview

  • Warner Bros. Discovery and Nielsen counted 800,000 U.S. cross‑platform viewers across HBO and HBO Max in the first three days, marking the show’s strongest opener.
  • The debut was up 20% versus the Season 3 premiere, though WBD now reports live‑plus‑three‑day figures, which complicates direct comparisons to prior live‑same‑day data.
  • Catch‑up viewing of earlier seasons in the week before the Season 4 launch was 60% higher than before Season 3, according to WBD, in the U.S. and globally.
  • Season 3’s opener initially drew about 300,000 viewers on its first night and climbed to roughly 1.4 million within three weeks, underscoring the show’s growth curve.
  • New episodes roll out Sundays at 9 p.m. ET on HBO with streaming on HBO Max, as Season 4 pivots to a fintech thriller featuring Kit Harington and Max Minghella alongside returning leads Myha’la and Marisa Abela.
