HBO and the BBC’s Industry is further beefing up its cast for the show’s fifth and final season .
Ben Platt and Russell Tovey have joined the ensemble for season five, which is in production in the U.K. Both actors will have guest roles in the season, joining a host of other new faces.
Platt ( The Beauty, Dear Evan Hansen ) will play a character named Matt Crenshaw, a venture capitalist and early backer of a wellness tech company. That will likely put him in league with characters played by Zosia Mamet and Dianna Agron, whose character descriptions also mention a wellness tech company.
