SLOW HORSES: Apple TV+ Sets November Season 3 Release

SLOW HORSES will return with its third season on Friday, December 1 (UPDATE: Apple TV+ changed the premiere date to Wednesday, November 29) with the first two episodes dropping on Apple TV+. Subsequent episodes will roll out one-a-week, until its December 29 December 27 season finale.

Season 3 will be adapted from from “Real Tigers,” the third novel in the Mick Herron spy series “Slough House.”

According to the streamer, the series “is a darkly humorous espionage drama that follows a dysfunctional team of British intelligence agents who serve in a dumping-ground department of MI5 known un-affectionately as Slough House. In season three, a romantic liaison in Istanbul threatens to expose a buried MI5 secret in London. When Jackson Lamb and his team of misfits are dragged into the fight, they find themselves caught in a conspiracy that threatens the future not just of Slough House but of MI5 itself.”

The series stars Gary Oldman as “Jackson Lamb, the brilliant but misanthropic leader of the spies, who end up in Slough House due to their career-ending mistakes as they frequently find themselves blundering around the smoke and mirrors of the espionage world. The ensemble cast also includes Academy Award-nominee Kristin Scott Thomas, BAFTA Scotland Award-winner Jack Lowden, Saskia Reeves, Rosalind Eleazar, Christopher Chung, Freddie Fox, Chris Reilly, Samuel West, Sophie Okonedo, Aimee-Ffion Edwards, Kadiff Kirwan and Academy Award-nominee Jonathan Pryce. Ṣọpẹ Dìrísù joins the season three cast as Sean Donovan, the former head of security at the British embassy in Istanbul, along with Katherine Waterston who plays Alison Dunn, an MI5 agent who uncovers a dark secret at the heart of the agency.”

The series was adapted for TV by VEEP’s Will Smith; Saul Metzstein directed season 3.
