Apple TV Releases Trailer for Upcoming Season Six of 'Slow Horses'
Apple TV has recently released the trailer for the sixth season of 'Slow Horses,' a spy drama that has garnered both Emmy and BAFTA TV Award recognition. The series stars Academy Award winner Sir Gary Oldman, who has received multiple nominations for his role. This upcoming season is based on the sixth and seventh novels in Mick Herron's acclaimed 'Slough House' series, specifically 'Joe Country' and 'Slough House.' The highly anticipated six-episode season is set to premiere globally on September 16, 2026, with new episodes airing weekly until October 21, 2026.
'Slow Horses' is known for its dark humor and follows a group of British intelligence agents who find themselves in a less-than-glamorous department of MI5, referred to as Slough House. Oldman portrays Jackson Lamb, the team's irritable leader, who guides a group of spies that have made career-ending mistakes. In the sixth season, the Slow Horses are drawn into a perilous game of retaliation and revenge orchestrated by Diana Taverner.
The series features a talented ensemble cast, including Kristin Scott Thomas, Jack Lowden, and Jonathan Pryce, among others. Olivia Cooke will also return as Sidonie “Sid” Baker. 'Slow Horses' has been praised as one of the best spy series on television, with all five previous seasons achieving a Certified Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The fifth season alone earned nine Primetime Emmy Awards, including nominations for both Oldman and Lowden.
Produced by See-Saw Films for Apple TV, the series continues to receive acclaim from critics and audiences alike. The first five seasons of 'Slow Horses' are currently available for streaming on Apple TV, which has quickly established itself as a leading platform for original content since its launch in 2019. The efficient production schedule of 'Slow Horses' suggests that season seven is already in the works, with expectations for a release in 2027.
