Apple TV’s teaser synopsis reads: “Lamb debriefs River and Coe. Roddy is pulled in the help decipher a piece of code as the destabilisation strategy nears its final stage.” Since its debut back in 2022, Apple TV’s hit spy thriller has released at least one season each year.

The fourth episode of the season, which marks the midpoint of this year’s adventure, is set to arrive tomorrow (October 22).

Apple TV has confirmed the cast for the upcoming series of Slow Horses. It includes plenty of familiar faces: Each season of the Apple TV spy thriller has been based on one book in Mick Herron’s novel series. It has been confirmed that the latest incarnation of the show will adapt the fifth book - London Rules. The synopsis for the book, via Amazon, reads: “At Regent's Park, the Intelligence Service HQ, new First Desk Claude Whelan is learning the job the hard way. “Tasked with protecting a beleaguered Prime Minister, he's facing attack from all directions: from the showboating MP who orchestrated the Brexit vote, and now has his sights set on Number Ten; from the showboat's wife, a tabloid columnist, who's crucifying Whelan in print; and especially from his own deputy, Lady Di Taverner, who's alert for Claude's every stumble. Meanwhile, the country's being rocked by an apparently random string of terror attacks. “Over at Slough House, the last stop for washed up spies, the crew are struggling with personal problems: repressed grief, various addictions, retail paralysis, and the nagging suspicion that their newest colleague is a psychopath. But collectively, they're about to rediscover their greatest strength - making a bad situation much, much worse.” Apple TV has already announced not just a sixth series of the hit spy thriller, but a seventh one as well. So there will be at least two more seasons to look forward to. Mick Herron has just released the ninth book in the Slough House series - entitled Clown Town. It means there is plenty of material left to be adapted. If you love TV, check out our Screen Babble podcast to get the latest in TV and film.
