However, the official release date for the new season of Slow Horses has not been announced yet. While there are no confirmations, it’s most likely to come to our screens in 2025. Here's everything we know so far about Slow Horses Season 5.
Slow Horses Season 5 release date speculation
The good news is that Slow Horses will return for Season 5. Apple TV+ confirmed it even before Season 4 finished airing. Fans got a sneak peek at what's to come when the Season 4 finale ended with a trailer for Season 5.
If we look at the previous seasons’ release pattern, we can predict that Slow Horses Season 5 might air somewhere around September 2025.
What we know about the plot for Season 5
Slow Horses Season 5 will be based on London Rules by Mick Herron. Ardent fans of the show are aware of the show’s book-per-season format.
This book takes a more political turn, focusing on an up-and-coming politician. There is a string of not-so-random terrorist attacks, which lead back to a controversial individual in the West Midlands. Meanwhile, Slough House is still as chaotic as ever, with the team facing new obstacles and old grudges.
An exciting development for the upcoming season involves a new member joining the Slough House team. This raises questions about whether they can be trusted. Plus, there’s a subplot that involves an assassination attempt on one of the show’s most quirky characters, Roddy Ho.
Presumed cast
One thing fans can be sure of is the return of Gary Oldman as Jackson Lamb. Oldman’s Lamb is the sarcastic leader of Slough House. Alongside him, we’re likely to see Jack Lowden as River Cartwright, Hugo Weaving as Frank Harkness, Kristin Scott Thomas as Diana Taverner, and Christopher Chung as the fan-favorite tech genius, Roddy Ho.
Here’s a presumed list of cast for the season:
- Gary Oldman as Jackson Lamb
- Jack Lowden as River Cartwright
- Hugo Weaving as Frank Harkness
- Kristin Scott Thomas as Diana Taverner
- Saskia Reeves as Catherine Standish
- Rosalind Eleazar as Louisa Guy
- Christopher Chung as Roddy Ho
- Aimee-Ffion Edwards as Shirley Dander
- Joanna Scanlan as Moira Tregorian
- Tom Brooke as J.K. Coe
- Jonathan Pryce as David Cartwright
The show has always brought in big names as new guest stars for each season. Though we do not have confirmation on the new guest stars for Season 5, it would not be surprising if the season had some fresh faces join the lineup.
It looks like we’ll be back at Slough House sooner than later. Fans of the series do not need to wait longer as the team behind Slow Horses is determined to keep their pace going.
