Apple TV+ backs Slow Horses

TRAILER: Gary Oldman returns to Slough House for the fourth season of Slow Horses, launching on Apple TV+ on September 4.

Adapted from Spook Street, the fourth novel in Mick Herron’s spy series, it continues to follow a dysfunctional team of British intelligence agents who serve in a dumping ground department of MI5 known un-affectionately as Slough House.

The six-episode season four opens with a bombing that detonates personal secrets, rocking the already unstable foundations of Slough House.

Oldman stars as Jackson Lamb, the brilliant but misanthropic 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 returning ensemble cast also includes Kristin Scott Thomas, Jack Lowden, Saskia Reeves, Rosalind Eleazar, Christopher Chung, Aimee-Ffion Edwards, Kadiff Kirwan and Jonathan Pryce. Hugo Weaving, Joanna Scanlan, Ruth Bradley, Tom Brooke and James Callis join season four.

Slow Horses 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, Jane Robertson, Julian Stevens, Douglas Urbanski, Gail Mutrux, Graham Yost and Will Smith are executive producers on the series, which debuted in 2022. Season four is directed by Adam Randall.
