The team embark on a mission when one of their own is kidnapped in season 3.
Slow Horses has released its season 3 trailer, teasing a dangerous conspiracy in the next instalment of the hit Apple TV+ show.
Based on the Slough House series of novels by author Mick Herron, the darkly humorous espionage drama follows a dysfunctional team of British intelligence agents led by Jackson Lamb (Gary Oldman).
Slow Horses season 3 is based on Herron’s novel Real Tigers, and will see a romantic liaison in Istanbul threatening to expose a buried MI5 secret in London.
The official synopsis reads: “When Jackson Lamb and his team of misfits are dragged into the fight, they find themselves caught in a conspiracy that threatens the future not just of Slough House but of MI5 itself.”
“I need a team of good agents, but I just have the Slow Horses,” Jackson laments in the trailer, after discovering that an MI5 unit has gone rogue and kidnapped Catherine Standish (Saskia Reeves).
Check out the trailer below:
Returning to the cast alongside Oldman, Chung and Reeves are Jack Lowden, Rosalind Eleazar, Kristin Scott Thomas, Freddie Fox, Chris Reilly, Samuel West, Sophie Okonedo, Aimee-Ffion Edwards, Kadiff Kirwan and Jonathan Pryce.
