Apple TV+ has released a teaser for its summer premieres, showing the first footage of the sequel to «Slow Horses» — a spy series about a department of misfit agents from MI5 with a boorish but very charismatic boss, Jack Lamb, at the helm.
Lamb himself, played by Gary Oldman, appeared in the only shot shown in the teaser — disheveled as always, and a bit scared. The main thing is that we now know that the series will definitely be released in the summer of 2025, and given that the fifth season was filmed in parallel with the fourth, we can assume that a full trailer will be released in the coming months or even weeks.
It’s your time. Spend it wisely.
