Slow Horses is officially coming back for a seventh season, says Apple TV+.
The news comes ahead of the show’s upcoming fifth season debut on Sept. 24, 2025. (Season six was announced last year.)
According to the streamer, Season 7 will comprise 6 new episodes, and will follow a story based on Slow Horses author Mick Herron’s eighth Slough House novel “Bad Actors” featuring Lamb and his Slow Horses on the hunt to find and neutralize a mole at the heart of British Government before they can bring down the state.
“Slow Horses has won fans all over the world with its unique mix of self-deprecating British humor and high-octane action,” commented said Jay Hunt, creative director at Apple TV+ in Europe. “I’m delighted viewers will have another season to enjoy Gary’s [Oldman] magnificent performance as Jackson Lamb alongside the Slow Horses’ slightly inept spycraft.”
Slow Horses is a dark and at times darkly comedic spy thriller that follows a dysfunctional and incompetent team of British intelligence agents who serve in a dumping ground department of MI5 known un-affectionately as Slough House.
There agents who have disgraced themselves in some way are left to their own devices or kept occupied with busy work until they decide to quit. Gary Oldman stars as Jackson Lamb, the brilliant but cantankerous leader of the crew, who somehow keeps embroiling his team in a number of high-stakes missions his bureaucratic peers at MI5 have managed to miss.
Slow Horses stars Gary Oldman, Kristin Scott Thomas, Jack Lowden, Saskia Reeves, Rosalind Eleazar, Christopher Chung, Aimee-Ffion Edwards, Tom Brooke, James Callis, and Jonathan Pryce.
The series is produced for Apple TV+ by See-Saw Films, with Jamie Laurenson, Hakan Kousetta, Iain Canning, Emile Sherman, Dan Hassid, Mick Herron, Gail Mutrux, Douglas Urbanski and Oldman serving as executive producers.
Season seven is adapted for television and executive produced by Ben Vanstone, with Robert McKillop set to direct.
