Slow Horses Season 4 Gets Apple TV+ Preview; Returns This September

Apple TV+ unveiled a preview of the upcoming fourth season of its widely acclaimed, BAFTA Award-winning spy series Slow Horses, starring Academy Award winner Gary Oldman. Adapted from Spook Street, the fourth novel in the CWA Gold Dagger Award-winning Mick Herron spy series "Slough House," season four of Slow Horses will premiere globally on Wednesday, September 4, with the first two episodes, followed by one new episode weekly, every Wednesday through October 2, on Apple TV+. Just look! Jackson Lamb (Oldman) is wearing a different dirty raincoat from his usual dirty light Burberry!

Slow Horses is a darkly humorous espionage drama that follows a dysfunctional team of British intelligence agents who serve in a dumping ground department of MI5 known un-affectionately as Slough House. Season four opens with a bombing that detonates personal secrets, rocking the already unstable foundations of Slough House. Once again, hilarity ensues. And Jack Lowden's frustrated Jack Bauer-wannabe River Cartwright looks even more miserable than ever. Some things never change.

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 Academy Award-nominee Kristin Scott Thomas, BAFTA Scotland Award-winner Jack Lowden, Saskia Reeves, Rosalind Eleazar, Christopher Chung, Aimee-Ffion Edwards, Kadiff Kirwan and Academy Award-nominee Jonathan Pryce. SAG Winner Hugo Weaving, BAFTA winner Joanna Scanlan, IFTA winner Ruth Bradley, Tom Brooke, and James Callis join Slow Horses in season four.

Come on, don't you miss the whole sick crew of barely trepid spies in Slow Horses?

Or the even worse and self-serving "proper" spies over at headquarters who are frequently the ones who put the country in danger?

"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 serve as executive producers on the series. Season four is directed by Adam Randall.

And here are the new cast members – are they friends or foes… or both?

Take Joanna Scanlan – could she be the most dangerous one of them all this season?

Fans – for there are many – can catch up on the first three seasons of Slow Horses on Apple TV+. In addition to the upcoming fourth season, Apple TV+ recently announced a fifth season set to be adapted from the fifth novel, "London Rules." Hurrah!
