Slow Horses is hurtling toward its sixth season.
Apple TV has confirmed that the popular TV series, which follows a group of MI5 outcasts who are relegated to Gary Oldman’s Slough House, is set to return to the streamer on September 16th.
The six-episode season will air every Wednesday until October 21st.
Based on Mick Herron’s sixth and seventh novels Joe Country and Slough House, Season 6 sees MI5 boss Diana Taverner (Kristin Scott Thomas) engage the Slow Horses in a “deadly game of retaliation and revenge” that forces them to go on the run.
Jack Lowden returns as River Cartwright for Season 6, along with Christopher Cheung as Roddy Ho, Saskia Reeves as Katherine Standish, Amy-Ffionn Edwards as Shirley Dunder, Rosalind Eleazar as Luisa Guy, Tom Brook as J.K. Coe, Jonathan Pryce as David Cartwright, and Hugo Weaving as Frank Harkness.
Joanna Scanlan as Moira Tregoryan, Samuel West as Councilor Peter Judd, and Ruth Bradley as Emma Flyte will also be reprising their roles. Newcomer Lenny Rush will also be joining them.
The film was adapted from the original story by co-executive producer Gabby Chiappe and directed by Adam Randall.
The show is produced by See-Saw Films and executive produced by Jamie Lawrenson, Hakan Cousetta, Julian Stevens, Ian Canning, Emile Sharman, Adam Randall, Gail Mutrux, Douglas Urbanski and Oldman.
“Slow Horses” launched on Apple TV in 2022 and quickly became one of its most popular shows, earning numerous BAFTA and Emmy nominations including Oldman, Chong, Price and Lowden. Last year, Randall won an Emmy Award for Best Director for a Drama Series.
