On Wednesday, Apple TV+ released the trailer for season five of Slow Horses. In it, Jackson Lamb (Oldman), River Cartwright (Jack Lowden) and the rest of the MI5 rejects are on the case - and a bit on the defense. The fifth Slow Horses season, adapted from Mick Herron's Slough House book series, consists of six episodes and will premiere on Sept. 24. Episodes will roll out weekly until Oct. 29. "In season five of Slow Horses, everyone is suspicious when resident tech nerd Roddy Ho has a glamorous new girlfriend, but when a series of increasingly bizarre events occur across the city, it falls to the Slow Horses to work out how everything is connected," the logline reads. "After all, Lamb knows that in the world of espionage, the London Rules - cover your back - always apply."
