Following the season three finale of Slow Horses, Apple TV+ has already ordered a fifth season of the hit TV series based on the Slough House novels by Mick Herron. The five-time BAFTA Award-nominated series stars Academy Award winner Gary Oldman, who was recently honored with a Golden Globe nomination for his performance as Jackson Lamb.
In season five, adapted from Herron's novel London Rules, "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, Lamb knows that in the world of espionage, 'London Rules' should always apply," Apple TV+ noted.
The Slow Horses ensemble cast includes Kristin Scott Thomas, Jack Lowden, Saskia Reeves, Rosalind Eleazar, Christopher Chung, Samuel West, Sophie Okonedo, Aimee-Ffion Edwards, Kadiff Kirwan, and Jonathan Pryce.
The series is produced for Apple TV+ by See-Saw Films and adapted for television by Will Smith, who's an executive producer alongside Jamie Laurenson, Hakan Kousetta, Iain Canning, Emile Sherman, Douglas Urbanski, Gail Mutrux, Julian Stevens, and Graham Yost. The director for season five has not yet been announced.
