00:00If there's one thing fans of Slow Horses can count on, it's that this show never keeps them
00:04waiting long. Since its premiere in 2022, the critically acclaimed Apple TV Plus Spy series
00:10has achieved an impressive feat, delivering five full seasons in just three years.
00:15In the current streaming landscape, where beloved shows can take years between installments,
00:21this rapid-fire release schedule is almost unheard of. The secret to this remarkable
00:25consistency lies in the show's relentless production cycle. While one season is airing,
00:31the next is already deep in post-production, and filming is quietly underway for the one after that.
00:36This non-stop momentum means we already have a very clear idea of the show's future.
00:41Here's the great news for fans. Slow Horses will not be concluding with its fifth season.
00:47Apple has officially renewed the series for two more installments,
00:50guaranteeing that the misadventures of the Slough House agents will continue.
00:54Season 6 has reportedly completed filming, and is now in post-production.
00:59Furthermore, cameras are set to start rolling on Season 7 this autumn,
01:03maintaining the show's breakneck pace. Following this established pattern,
01:08viewers can likely anticipate Season 6 landing in late 2026,
01:12with Season 7 following suit around the same time in 2027.
01:17As for the story, reports indicate that Season 6 will draw its plot from Mick Heron's sixth and
01:23seven spy novels, Joe Country and Slough House. This suggests an action-packed season that will see
01:29Jackson Lamb and his ragtag team of disgraced spies forced to go on the run. As they navigate this
01:36perilous situation, the ever-scheming Diana Tavener pulls them into a dangerous new game,
01:42one that could threaten the very existence of their ramshackle unit. There's also a significant
01:47change happening behind the camera. Will Smith, who has masterfully served as showrunner since the
01:52series began, will step down after Season 5 to help keep the series fresh. Writer Gabby Kayap will
02:00take over for Season 6, while Ben Winston is set to lead Season 7. So, while Season 5 is just
02:06around
02:06the corner, fans can breathe a sigh of relief. The story is far from finished, and the ride with Jackson
02:12Lamb's crew is guaranteed for at least two more thrilling, darkly comedic seasons.
