Gary Oldman Returns! 'Slow Horses' Season 5 Lands on Apple TV+ This September - First Look Revealed!
Get ready for more thrilling espionage! Apple TV+ has given us a tantalising first look at the highly anticipated fifth season of Slow Horses, the darkly comedic spy drama that’s captivated audiences worldwide. And the best part? Oscar-winner Gary Oldman is back to lead the charge as Jackson Lamb, the brilliantly cynical and utterly unforgettable head of Slough House, the dumping ground for MI5’s misfits.
What's Slow Horses All About?
For those unfamiliar, Slow Horses follows a team of disgraced MI5 agents banished to Slough House, a forgotten corner of the agency. Led by the perpetually dishevelled and often offensive Jackson Lamb, these 'slow horses' are deemed too incompetent or problematic for frontline work. However, as fate would have it, they often find themselves embroiled in dangerous and complex situations, proving that even the rejects can save the day.
Season 5: What to Expect
The new six-episode season picks up with the team facing a fresh and formidable threat. While details are still tightly under wraps, expect the usual blend of sharp wit, tense action, and unexpected twists. The first two episodes will drop simultaneously on Wednesday, September 24th, setting the stage for a gripping binge-watching experience. Subsequent episodes will be released weekly, keeping fans on the edge of their seats.

Alongside Gary Oldman, the stellar cast includes Kristin Scott Thomas as Diana Taverner, Jack Lowden as River Cartwright, and a host of other talented actors. The series, adapted from Mick Herron's acclaimed Slough House novels, has garnered widespread critical praise for its clever writing, compelling characters, and Oldman's masterful performance. It’s a show that manages to be both thrilling and hilarious, making it a must-watch for fans of the spy genre.
