Apple TV+ renewed its critically acclaimed spy drama Slow Horses for season five ahead of its season four premiere. Today, the streamer announced the series has also been renewed for a sixth season.
“Audiences around the world have fallen in love with the Slow Horses, and I’m delighted that Gary Oldman will be leading this star-studded cast on another acerbic and action-packed adventure,” stated Jay Hunt, creative director, Europe, Apple TV+.
The series is based on Mick Herron’s Slough House books, with season four adapted from Herron’s fourth novel of the series, Spook Street. Season five is based on London Rules, and season six will be adapted from books six and seven – Joe Country and Slough House. Per Apple TV+, season six will consist of six episodes and will follow “the Slow Horses on the run as Diana Taverner embroils them all in a fatally high-stakes game of retaliation and revenge.”
Oscar winner Gary Oldman stars as Jackson Lamb, the “brilliant but cantankerous leader of the spies, who end up in Slough House due to their career-ending mistakes as they frequently find themselves blundering around the smoke and mirrors of the espionage world.” Oscar nominee Kristin Scott Thomas, BAFTA Scotland Award winner Jack Lowden, Saskia Reeves, Rosalind Eleazar, Christopher Chung, Samuel West, Sophie Okonedo, Aimee-Ffion Edwards, Ruth Bradley, Tom Brooke, Joanna Scanlan, and Oscar nominee Jonathan Pryce also star.
