Streaming services usually take quite some time before renewing their shows, but Slow Horses is a rare exception to this rule. The British spy drama recently wrapped up its fourth season, and Apple TV+ already announced its Season 6 renewal.
Slow Horses centers on a team of dysfunctional agents working at the Slough House, known as MI5’s dumping ground. The notorious Jackson Lamb leads this group of misfit spies, who were sent here to endure dull, paper-pushing tasks after making career-ending mistakes.
Gary Oldman plays the lead role in this acclaimed spy drama, while Jack Lowden, Kristin Scott Thomas, Jonathan Pryce, Christopher Chung, Rosalind Eleazar, and Saskia Reeves star in supporting roles.
Jay Hunt, creative director for Apple TV+ in Europe, announced the show’s renewal in a statement, saying they’re “delighted that Gary Oldman will be leading this star-studded cast on another acerbic and action-packed adventure.”
The rollout of Slow Horses has been pretty quick for a show released during the streaming era, and it’s already given us four seasons since its launch in 2022. Season 6 renewal was announced shortly after the fourth season wrapped up on October 9, making Slow Horses the first original series in Apple TV+ history to run for over five seasons.
