The Slow Horses series, based on the novels by Mick Herron, has been a huge success since its debut on Apple TV+. The show, which stars Gary Oldman as Jackson Lamb, a gruff and unorthodox spy, has received widespread critical acclaim for its complex characters, intricate plots, and witty dialogue. With the fourth season having concluded, fans are eagerly awaiting news about a potential fifth season. Here’s everything we know so far about Slow Horses Season 5.
Will There Be a Season 5?
As of now, there has been no official announcement from Apple TV+ regarding a fifth season of Slow Horses. However, the show’s creator, Will Hodges, has expressed his desire to continue the series for several more seasons. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Hodges stated, "I think we’ve got a good few more stories to tell with these characters… I think we’ve got a good five or six more seasons in us."
What’s Next for Jackson Lamb and the Slough House Team?
The fourth season of Slow Horses concluded with a major cliffhanger, leaving fans wondering what’s next for Jackson Lamb and his team. The season finale saw Lamb’s nemesis, Vladimir Putin, seemingly assassinated, but it’s unclear what this means for the global spy game. The Slough House team, including Roddy Ho and Catherine Standish, will likely be dealing with the fallout of this event in any potential future seasons.
New Characters and Storylines
If a fifth season is greenlit, it’s likely that new characters and storylines will be introduced. The Slow Horses series has always been known for its complex characters and intricate plots, and it’s likely that the show will continue to explore themes of espionage, politics, and morality. Fans may also see the introduction of new villains and allies for the Slough House team to contend with.
