Is Slow Horses Season 4 on the Horizon?

The conclusion of Season 3 on Apple TV has left fans wondering if there will be a Season 4 of Slow Horses. Here’s the latest on the future of this highly praised spy drama, which has become one of Apple TV’s most successful and well-received shows.

The show, based on Mick Herron's books and featuring Gary Oldman, Kristen Scott Thomas, and Jack Lowden, follows a group of MI5 rejects sent to Slough House, where they are known as the Slow Horses. Season 3, based on Herron's novel Real Tigers, premiered in November 2023 and ended on December 27. What's next for Season 4?

Will there be a Slow Horses Season 4?

Yes, Slow Horses is returning for Season 4. The fourth series of the show will be based on the book ‘Spook Street’ by Mick Heron.

Season 4's trailer debuted at the end of Season 3's finale, centering on an inquiry into a London bombing and the hunt for a possible second perpetrator. The teaser concludes with a surprise appearance by The Matrix actor Hugo Weaving and Jackson Lamb (played by Oldman) announcing the death of one of his team members in the line of duty, hinting at impending tragedy for the protagonists.

The book's official synopsis describes 20-year retiree David Cartwright's ability to recognize danger, despite his age. Jackson Lamb, who worked with Cartwright, knows he's not a vulnerable old man. Instead, he's a "nasty old spook with blood on his hands." Cartwright raised his grandson to be brave but ends up at Lamb's team at Slough House. When Cartwright's panic button sounds an alarm at Service HQ, it's up to Lamb to identify the body and protect his former colleague.

Will there be a Slow Horses Season 5?

The renewal of Slow Horses for Season 5 was announced by The Hollywood Reporter this week, even before Season 4 is released. This early renewal indicates that Apple must have great confidence in the show.

As of now, a release date for Season 4 has not been announced. However, based on the launches of Season 2 and Season 3 in December, it is likely that Season 4 will be released at the end of 2024.
