The new season of “Slow Horses” will premiere globally on Wednesday, September 4, with the first two episodes, followed by weekly releases every Wednesday until October 2 on Apple TV+.
“Slow Horses” is a darkly humorous espionage drama centered on a dysfunctional team of British intelligence agents relegated to Slough House, a dead-end department within MI5. Season four begins with a bombing that reveals personal secrets, further destabilizing Slough House’s fragile foundations.

The ensemble cast includes Academy Award nominee Kristin Scott Thomas, BAFTA Scotland Award winner Jack Lowden, Saskia Reeves, Rosalind Eleazar, Christopher Chung, Aimee-Ffion Edwards, Kadiff Kirwan, and Academy Award nominee Jonathan Pryce. New additions for season four include SAG Award winner Hugo Weaving, BAFTA Award winner Joanna Scanlan, IFTA Award winner Ruth Bradley, Tom Brooke, and James Callis.
