‘Slow Horses’: Apple TV+ Renews Acclaimed Spy Drama For Seasons 3 & 4!
Apple TV+ has renewed their widely acclaimed spy drama ‘Slow Horses‘, starring Academy Award winner Gary Oldman, for seasons three and four before season two has even launched.
The darkly funny espionage drama, based on CWA Gold Dagger Award-winning Mick Herron spy series “Slough House”, follows a team of British intelligence agents who serve in a dumping ground department of MI5 due to their career-ending mistakes. Led by their brilliant but irascible leader, the notorious Jackson Lamb (Oldman), they navigate the espionage world’s smoke and mirrors to defend England from sinister forces.
The ensemble cast includes Academy Award nominee Kristin Scott Thomas, BAFTA Scotland Award winner Jack Lowden, Saskia Reeves, Rosalind Eleazar, Christopher Chung, Freddie Fox, Chris Reilly, Samuel West, Sophie Okonedo, Aimee-Ffion Edwards, Kadiff Kirwan and Academy Award nominee Jonathan Pryce.
The six-episode first season of “Slow Horses” launched globally on Apple TV+ on Friday, 1st April 2022. Season two of the drama is based on the second book in Mick Herron’s novel series, titled “Dead Lions”, and will be released globally later in 2022. The third and fourth seasons will be adapted from the following two novels. The book series includes eight novels and three novellas in total so far.
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 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.
‘Slow Horses‘ Season 1 can be found on Apple TV+ right now, with Season 2 premiering later in 2022. If you want to keep track of this or any other show, you can add them via our Never Miss system, and you’ll be notified when it gets a UK premiere date.
