Today, Apple TV + announced a fifth season of the acclaimed five-time BAFTA Award-nominated espionage drama Slow Horses, starring Academy Award winner Gary Oldman. Season three is now streaming on Apple TV+.
The five-time BAFTA Award-nominated series stars Academy Award winner Gary Oldman, who was recently honoured with a Golden Globe nomination for his outstanding performance as the irascible Jackson Lamb. The Slow Horses third season finale debuted on Wednesday, December 27, 2023, on Apple TV+. Since its premiere in 2022, Slow Horses has been celebrated by us as “a satisfying spy romp and one of the best shows on Apple TV +” and a series that “leaves you desperate for more.”
In season five of Slow Horses, everyone is suspicious when resident tech nerd Roddy Ho has a glamorous new girlfriend, but when a series of increasingly bizarre events occur across the city, it falls to the Slow Horses to work out how everything is connected. After all, Jackson Lamb knows that in the world of espionage, “London Rules” should always apply.
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 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. The ensemble cast includes Academy Award nominee Kristin Scott Thomas, BAFTA Scotland Award winner Jack Lowden, Saskia Reeves, Rosalind Eleazar, Christopher Chung, 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. Will Smith, Jamie Laurenson, Hakan Kousetta, Iain Canning, Emile Sherman, Douglas Urbanski, Gail Mutrux, Julian Stevens and Graham Yost serve as executive producers on the series. The director for season five has not yet been announced. Season four was announced in 2022.
