Apple TV+ announced that Slow Horses has been renewed for Season 7. The news arrives ahead of the show’s Season 5 premiere, set for Sept. 24.

The dark comedy stars Gary Oldman as Jackson Lamb, the head of a group of British intelligence agents.  Season 5 will see the group try to figure out the deal with Roddy Ho’s (Christopher Chung) “glamorous new girlfriend.”

The series, inspired by Mick Herron’s Slough House books, got the green light for Season 6 in October. Apple TV+ executive Jay Hunt in a statement: “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.”

Per an official release, “In Season 7, Lamb and his Slow Horses are on the hunt to find and neutralize a mole at the heart of British Government before they can bring down the state.”

Slow Horses also stars Jack Lowden, Saskia Reeves, Rosalind Eleazar, Samuel West, Aimee-Ffion Edwards, Ruth Bradley, Tom Brooke, Joanna Scanlan and Jonathan Pryce.  The series won its first Primetime Emmy Award in 2024 for ‘Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series,’ and was also nominated in four other categories.
