Slow Horses Trailer Promises 'Increasingly Bizarre' Twists In Season 5 — Watch

The show is called Slow Horses, but they sure do make 'em fast, don't they?

The Emmy-winning spy drama starring Gary Oldman will return for Season 5 on Apple TV+ on Wednesday, Sept. 24 with the first two episodes, TVLine has learned, less than a year after Season 4 wrapped up on the streamer.

Slow Horses follows a team of outcasts in the British intelligence community that have been relegated to a forgotten corner of MI5 known as Slough House. Oldman stars as team leader Jackson Lamb, with a supporting cast highlighted by Kristin Scott Thomas, Jack Lowden and Jonathan Pryce. Additionally, Nick Mohammed (Ted Lasso) will make a special guest-star appearance in Season 5.

As Season 5 begins, "everyone is suspicious when resident tech nerd Roddy Ho has a glamorous new girlfriend, but when a series of increasingly bizarre events occur across the city, it falls to the Slow Horses to work out how everything is connected," per the official synopsis. "After all, Lamb knows that in the world of espionage, the London Rules — cover your back — always apply."

Debuting in April 2022, Slow Horses has won critical acclaim across its four seasons, including Emmy nominations last year for best drama series and best lead actor in a drama for Oldman. (The series won an Emmy in 2024 for best writing in a drama.) With the debut of Season 5, it will have aired five seasons in about three and a half calendar years — a true achievement in today's TV landscape. (To illustrate the point, the fourth and most recent season of Stranger Things aired just a month after Slow Horses' first season.)
