Slow Horses unveils first look at season 3 and confirms release date
Get ready to return to Slough House, as season 3 adapts Mick Herron's Real Tigers.
Acclaimed spy series Slow Horses will soon return for its third season, and after almost a year of waiting we have finally got a selection of images from the new run - as well as a release date.
The images give us first looks at Gary Oldman's Jackson Lamb, seen eating an ice cream in the park, as well as Jack Lowden's River Cartwright and Rosalind Eleazar's Louisa Guy.
Another image show us Christopher Chung's Roddy Ho in the new season, while a fourth gives us our first look at Ṣọpẹ Dìrísù's (Gangs of London) new character Sean Donovan, the former head of security at the British embassy in Istanbul, who is seen opposite Saskia Reeves's Catherine Standish.
That's all fans have got of the new season for now, but they will be able to watch the first two episodes on Friday 1st December on Apple TV+, with subsequent episodes airing weekly until Friday 29th December.
The new season will be based on the third novel in Mick Herron's Slough House series Real Tigers, and will see a romantic liaison in Istanbul threatening to expose a buried MI5 secret in London.
