Sir Gary Oldman in “Slow Horses,” premiering September 24, 2025 on Apple TV+.
Apple TV+ has released the trailer for Season 5 of Slow Horses. The hit espionage drama is adapted from Mick Herron’s CWA Gold Dagger Award-winning Slough House novels, with the upcoming season drawing from London Rules.
In the trailer, suspicion arises when resident tech nerd Roddy Ho has a glamorous new girlfriend. But as a series of bizarre events destabilizes London, it’s up to Jackson Lamb and his team of misfit MI5 agents to connect the dots. In the world of espionage, the London Rules — cover your back — always apply.
Synopsis: This quick-witted spy drama follows a dysfunctional team of MI5 agents—and their obnoxious boss, the notorious Jackson Lamb—as they navigate the espionage world’s smoke and mirrors to defend England from sinister forces.
Slow Horses Season 5 premieres September 24, 2025 on Apple TV+ with the first of six episodes. New episodes will drop weekly each Wednesday through October 29.
