Prepare yourselves, because the sensational Apple TV series “Slow Horses,” featuring the iconic Gary Oldman, has been given the green light for a fifth season – and it’s arriving sooner than you might think! Based on Mick Herron’s beloved Slough House novels, the show delves into the escapades of a band of MI5 outcasts under the guidance of the magnetic Jackson Lamb, brought to life by Oldman. These “Slow Horses” may be consigned to mundane office work, but that doesn’t stop them from stumbling into all manner of hazardous predicaments that threaten Britain’s safety.
The star-studded ensemble also includes Jack Lowden, Kristin Scott Thomas, Saskia Reeves, Christopher Chung, River Cartwright, Aimee-Ffion Edwards, and Kadiff Kirwan. Not to mention, Gary Oldman’s exceptional portrayal in season 2 garnered him Golden Globe and BAFTA nominations!
According to the show’s teaser for the upcoming season 5, the Slow Horses will find themselves ensnared in a web of suspicion and enigma when their resident tech whiz, Roddy Ho, acquires a glamorous new girlfriend. As a series of peculiar events grip the city, it falls upon the team to unravel the mystery and expose the truth behind the turmoil. Indeed, as Jackson Lamb is fond of saying, when it comes to espionage, the “London Rules” must never be overlooked.
Debuting in April 2022, the show swiftly amassed a devoted following, prompting Apple TV Plus to order a third and fourth season in June 2022 – even before the second season had concluded. With the action-packed season 3 wrapping up on December 27, 2023, viewers are eagerly anticipating the arrival of season 4, set to hit the screens in late December 2024.
As for season 5, fans will need to hold their breath as the release date has yet to be revealed. In the meantime, there’s a buzz surrounding the most anticipated new TV shows arriving in 2024 and beyond, so be sure to keep a lookout for further updates!
So, grab your snacks and prepare yourself for another exhilarating journey with the Slow Horses – it’s certain to be an explosive new season! Stay tuned for more details as they materialize.
