'Slow Horses' Returns for Season 5–Much Sooner Than Expected!

Slow Horses has wrapped up the fourth season of the Gary Oldman-led spy thriller on Apple TV+ but unlike most shows airing in the streaming era of television, it won’t be that much longer until Jackson Lamb and the rest of the Slough House crew will be back on our television screens. In fact, Season 5 has already finished production, meaning it is likely on pace for a 2025 release.
