Hit Apple TV+ series given the green light for the SEVENTH time
A HIT Apple TV+ show has been greenlit for a seventh series on the streamer.
This spy drama features an ensemble cast led by an Oscar-winning star.
Slow Horses launched in 2022 and features Sir Gary Oldman as grumpy MI5 agent Jackson Lamb.
Apple TV+ has confirmed the series has been renewed for a seventh outing.
The first four series are available to watch on the streamer – with series five coming in September.
Meanwhile, the sixth series was first announced back in October 2024.
Jay Hunt, creative director, Europe, Apple TV+, said: “Slow Horses has won fans all over the world with its unique mix of self-deprecating British humor and high-octane action.
“I’m delighted viewers will have another season to enjoy Gary’s magnificent performance as Jackson Lamb alongside the Slow Horses’ slightly inept spycraft.”
It comes as star Gary, 67, recently opened up about Slow Horses’ future.
In an interview with Deadline, the legendary actor said season seven will begin filming in late September.
The London-born film star said the series is “the wonderful gift that keeps on giving.”
“I just adore the hell out of it, and the people. It is just such a wonderful thing really to be part of.”
Slow Horses, based on the Slough House book series by British writer Mick Herron, has become a massive hit and quickly won fans over with its sharp wit, dark humour and thrilling spy drama.
The series follows a group of MI5 rejects, led by Jackson Lamb, who are stuck in the “slow horses” department – tasked with boring, dead-end jobs but constantly finding themselves embroiled in high-stakes espionage.
Alongside Gary, the show stars a stellar cast including Kristin Scott Thomas, Jonathan Pryce, and Olivia Cooke, whose performances have earned critical acclaim.
Reacting to news of the seventh series, one fan wrote on X: “The fact that season 5 isn’t even out and we have conformation of season 7, no one is doing it like Slow Horses.”
Another added: “Watching Gary Oldman play such an obnoxious yet loveable character is worth it on its own. This series is a great watch.”
A third penned: “Our favorite losers are getting another run. Best news of the day!”
While a fourth remarked: “If this series maintains the same high quality in every season I could easily watch 10 more seasons of it. Show like this are so rare these days.”
Slow Horses is available to watch on Apple TV+.
