Spy comedy drama Slow Horses has been renewed for a fifth season over at Apple TV+ making the Gary Oldman-led series one of the jewels in the streamers’ crown. The popular show, which revolves around a lower-tiered section of the British intelligence service, is just enjoying a third series with episodes rolling out weekly. Slow Horses season five will air on the streaming service within the next couple of years on a date TBC.
Oldman stars as the head of the department, Jackson Lamb, whilst the cast is also made up of the likes of Kristin Scott Thomas, Jack Lowden, Saskia Reeves, Rosalind Eleazar, Christopher Chung, Samuel West, Sophie Okonedo, Aimee-Ffion Edwards, Kadiff Kirwan and Jonathan Pryce.

Slow Horses is a 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. Oldman stars as Lamb, the brilliant but cantankerous 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.
