Apple TV+ today gave the green light to Slow Horses Season 3 and 4. The critically acclaimed espionage series stars Academy Award winner Gary Oldman.
Slow Horses Season 3 and 4 will be adapted from the next two novels in the CWA Gold Dagger Award-winning Mick Herron spy series “Slough House” (See on Amazon).
In season three of Slow Horses, Jackson Lamb’s disgraced spies work together to foil a rogue agent when one of their own is kidnapped. Season four opens with a bombing that detonates personal secrets, rocking the already unstable foundations of Slough House.
The six-episode first season launched globally on Apple TV+ on Friday, April 1, 2022, with the second season, directed by Jeremy Lovering, set to premiere globally later this year.
Slow Horses is a darkly humorous espionage drama that follows a dysfunctional team of British intelligence agents who serve in a dumping ground department of MI5 known un-affectionately as Slough House.
Oldman stars as Jackson Lamb, the brilliant but irascible 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.
The ensemble cast includes Academy Award nominee Kristin Scott Thomas, BAFTA Scotland Award winner Jack Lowden, Saskia Reeves, Rosalind Eleazar, and Christopher Chung.
The cast is rounded out by Freddie Fox, Chris Reilly, Samuel West, Sophie Okonedo, Aimee-Ffion Edwards, Kadiff Kirwan, and Academy Award nominee Jonathan Pryce.
The series is produced for Apple TV+ by See-Saw Films and adapted for television by Will Smith (Veep). Jamie Laurenson, Hakan Kousetta, Iain Canning, Emile Sherman, Douglas Urbanski, Gail Mutrux, Will Smith, Jane Robertson, and Graham Yost serve as executive producers on the series.
Saul Metzstein is set to direct the third season; the director for the fourth season has not yet been announced.
