‘Slow Horses’ renewed for season 6 on AppleTV+
Slough House fans can rejoice as Apple TV+ has confirmed that the iconic spy series “Slow Horses” has been renewed for a sixth season.
The show, based on Mick Herron’s hit novels, stars Gary Oldman as the tenacious and sloppy Jackson Lamb, who leads a group of MI5 rejects nicknamed the ‘slow horses’, including River Cartwright (Jack Lowden), Roddy Ho (Christopher Chung), Louisa Guy (Rosalind Eleazar) and Catherine Standish (Saskia Reeves).
Kristin Scott Thomas also stars as MI5 Deputy Chief Diana Taverner alongside Jonathan Pryce, Aimee-Ffion Edwards, Ruth Bradley, Tom Brooke and Samuel West.
Previous seasons have included Hugo Weaving, Joanna Scanlan, Sope Dirisu and Olivia Cooke.
Season 4, which had its season finale last week, saw Cartwright learn deeply personal news after escaping a rogue CIA officer (played by Weaving), while a beloved member of the Slough House team came to a sticky end.
Season 6, which will again consist of six episodes, sees the misfits on the run as they become embroiled in a high-stakes game of retaliation and revenge thanks to enemy Taverner.
It will be adapted by co-executive producer Gaby Chiappe. Season 4 director Adam Randall returns to helm season 6.
“Audiences around the world have fallen in love with the Slow Horses, and I’m thrilled that Gary Oldman will lead this star-studded cast on another sharp and action-packed adventure,” said Jay Hunt, creative director of Apple TV+ in Europe.
“Slow Horses” is produced by See-Saw Films. Executive producers are Jamie Laurenson, Hakan Kousetta, Julian Stevens, Iain Canning, Emile Sherman, Adam Randall, Gail Mutrux, Douglas Urbanski and Gary Oldman.
