The darkly comedic spy series Slow Horses has captivated audiences with its blend of espionage and humor. Based on Mick Herron's novels, the show follows a team of MI5 rejects relegated to Slough House, led by the brilliant but irascible Jackson Lamb (Gary Oldman). With Season 5 recently concluded, fans are eagerly anticipating news about Slow Horses Season 6.

Has Slow Horses Been Renewed for Season 6?

Good news for fans! Apple TV+ has already greenlit Slow Horses for Season 6. The show was actually renewed for Seasons 3 and 4 before the second season even aired, demonstrating the streaming service's confidence in the series. Seasons 5 and 6 were filmed back-to-back, meaning Season 6 is already in the can.

What to Expect in Season 6

Slow Horses closely follows the plotlines of Mick Herron’s novels. Season 5 adapted "Old Bones," the fifth book in the series, so Season 6 will likely be based on "The Secret Hours," the sixth novel. Here’s what we might expect:

  • New Case: Slough House will undoubtedly find themselves embroiled in a new, complex case that requires their unique (if somewhat unconventional) skills.
  • Jackson Lamb's Leadership: Expect more of Jackson Lamb’s sardonic wit and unorthodox methods as he guides his team through the murky world of espionage.
  • Character Development: The ensemble cast, including River Cartwright (Jack Lowden) and Catherine Standish (Saskia Reeves), will continue to evolve as they face new challenges.
  • Intrigue and Twists: True to form, Season 6 will likely feature plenty of unexpected twists and turns, keeping viewers on the edge of their seats.

Returning Cast Members

While Apple TV+ hasn’t officially confirmed the cast for Season 6, it’s highly probable that the main players will return, including:

  • Gary Oldman as Jackson Lamb
  • Jack Lowden as River Cartwright
  • Kristin Scott Thomas as Diana Taverner
  • Saskia Reeves as Catherine Standish
  • Rosalind Eleazar as Louisa Guy
  • Christopher Chung as Roddy Ho

When Will Season 6 Be Released?

Given that Seasons 5 and 6 were filmed concurrently, the wait for Slow Horses Season 6 shouldn't be too long. Season 5 premiered in November 2023, so a late 2024 or early 2025 release date for Season 6 seems plausible. Stay tuned for official announcements from Apple TV+.

Keep checking back for updates, trailers, and official release dates as they become available. Slow Horses fans have plenty to look forward to!
