Slow Horses is confirmed for a seventh season already (Picture: Apple TV+)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Apple<\/a> TV Plus series praised by fans as the ‘perfect’ thriller, Slow Horses<\/a>, has reportedly been renewed for a seventh season.<\/p>\n

It’s a good time to be a fan of ‘the best spy show on TV’ starring Sir Gary Oldman<\/a> after it was claimed that the series was starting production on yet another season before the fifth is even out<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In a TV landscape defined by shock cancellations and lengthy gaps between seasons – Slow Horses fans are the luckiest around.<\/p>\n

Season five is coming out this September,<\/a> season six has already wrapped production and according to Deadline<\/a>, there are plans for season seven to roll cameras in late September, early October.<\/p>\n

For those keeping track (and if you are looking for a mind-boggling statistic to share with your friends) that’s four aired seasons and three more on the way all in the time between Stranger Things season four and five.<\/p>\n

Those new to the show, with an average score of 98% on Rotten Tomatoes, have 24 episodes of delicious action to catch up on<\/a> before the fifth, sixth, and seventh season land. We’re seriously jealous.<\/p>\n

If you have somehow been living under a rock, here’s the lowdown on what the unconventional espionage thriller is all about. <\/p>\n

The Will Smith created series follows a ‘dysfunctional team of MI5 agents’ led by Oldman’s endearingly grumpy and gross Jackson Lamb with agent River Cartwright (Jack Lowden) determined to prove he’s got what it takes.<\/p>\n

Soon our team finds themselves embroiled in ‘the espionage world’s smoke and mirrors to defend England from sinister forces’.<\/p>\n

Honestly, it’s the kind of show you just need to watch to fully appreciate the critically acclaimed mix of absurd hilarity, high-stakes tension and surprising moments of tenderness.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\tTV writer Ruth Lawes on why Slow Horses season four deserves five stars\t\t\t<\/h2>\n
\n

[Jackson] Lamb is the embodiment of why Slow Horses is the best crime show to come out of the UK.<\/p>\n

He does not fit the mould of a classic TV detective in the same way Slow Horses does not conform to the usual espionage show formula.<\/p>\n

The drama does away with most thriller tropes \u2013 from an overabundance of female victims to missing children in backwater towns \u2013 and is all the more compelling for it.<\/p>\n

Season 4 takes this up a notch by making the plot, normally what drives any thriller, almost secondary to the characters.<\/p>\n

Despite their various vulgarities, I cried twice during the season because, for the first time in a long time in a crime drama, I actually cared about the characters.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not just Oldman, who puts in a performance of a lifetime, but the rest of the Slough House misfits, I\u2019m rooting for too.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

The news of a season seven renewal has thrilled fans of the show who have taken to social media to celebrate and praise it for its tight seasons and pacey production timeline.<\/p>\n

‘Good. I\u2019m really enjoying this show. It\u2019s so much fun,’ Roscoe_King wrote on Reddit.<\/p>\n

‘The complete story arcs is extremely rewarding and it makes me want to watch the show far more than when everything is a cliff hanger,’ strangedistantplanet added.<\/p>\n

‘Proper British 6 episodes seasons. No fat and it allows them to maintain the tension of the story. I’m here for this clockwork like turnaround,’ FoxMcCloudOwnsSlippy added.<\/p>\n

‘Probably my fav current show, the pace at which they are churning this out is also fantastic. The entire cast is phenomenal, Oldman and [Jonathan] Pryce in particular,’ Fawkes_91 agreed.<\/p>\n

‘Genuinely one of the most satisfying\/addictive experiences I’ve ever had watching a tv show. Before I started I thought “oh nice, 24 episodes. That should keep me entertained for the next month or so.” <\/p>\n

‘Nope. Ended up watching all four seasons in like 5 days because I just couldn’t put it down,’ hic_forum_est said.<\/p>\n

Slow Horses is based on a series of novels by Mick Herron with eight out so far and a ninth on he way – a promising sign for the future of the show with plenty more content still to adapt.<\/p>\n

Metro has reached out to Apple TV Plus for comment.<\/em><\/p>\n

Slow Horses seasons one to four are available to stream on Apple TV Plus now. The fifth season lands on September 24, 2025.<\/em> <\/strong><\/p>\n
