Apple TV+ has shared a first look at the upcoming third season of its critically acclaimed espionage drama, ‘Slow Horses.’
Starring Academy Award winner Gary Oldman. Adapted from ‘Real Tigers,’ the third novel in the CWA Gold Dagger Award-winning Mick Herron spy series ‘Slough House,’ the six-episode third season will premiere globally on Friday, December 1 with the first two episodes, followed by one new episode weekly, every Friday through December 29, on Apple TV+.
The darkly humorous espionage drama 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.
