Fans of the Emmy-nominated spy thriller Slow Horses are eagerly awaiting the next season! After the shocking events of season 4, the show's future looked uncertain. But there's good news, season 5 is almost ready.
Slow Horses Season 5 Update:
Will Smith, the showrunner and executive producer of Slow Horses, gave an update, in an interview with Collider, to ease our worries, saying that filming is almost wrapped with only a few days of shooting left, as of 2024. What is equally compelling is that the team has already moved on to editing the footage and is expecting to release season 5 sometime in 2025.
What To Expect From Season 5:
Based on what has been given to viewers, season 5 is going to be a unique experience as this installment, it's going to be the adaptation of London Rules from Mick Herron's books! There's another character that's stepping forward Christopher Chung will be highlighted. For the first time as he plays Roddy Ho. The preview shows River Cartwright (played by Jack Lowden) has the potential to be paired up with Louisa Guy, (played by Rosalind Eleazar)! A really interesting romance!
Slow Horses Season 4 Cliffhangers:
Those of you who were watching season 4, you know this series is already filled with some exciting twists and turns! This includes an amazing secret!
- Frank Harness (played by Hugo Weaving) has the shocking twist as being River Cartwright's father!
- A tense moment ensues when they are both having drinks! While having an intense, private moment
Fans know just what to expect from "Slow Horses"! That means things are quiet on the surface.
- There is a quiet end.
- River Cartwright has left his grandfather to live in a retirement home due to some difficult family matters involving memory loss!
- Diana Taverner, (played by Kristin Scott Thomas) lost in a battle!
- Marcus died and impacted his crew!
- Standish may be returning to Slough House soon!
What could this really mean? It's tough to say without more context, but based on what Smith had said, viewers will not be waiting forever and a date could appear earlier than expected for fans. For many shows the typical wait is about six months. With the new installments it is about a year's gap. Since Slow Horses isn't necessarily tied to these same schedules we will just need to watch this space.
The Future of Slow Horses:
Fans of the Slow Horses novels will want to check out what will be available and with so much success and interest! It could really be one to watch as its trajectory looks super exciting, especially after doing so well with nine Emmy nominations. Even after having these successes with season 4 there's talk of another renewal!
This would likely only come into effect for viewers when the AppleTV+ network releases season 6
It's important for those in media to make sure there's interest in their programming! While they wait to make an official decision for season 6 we all look forward to Gary Oldman as Jackson Lamb and his unique group! It could be a really special time for these characters! There's no end in sight! They are here to stay. That may come into fruition as the writers create additional storylines around Slow Horses!
