Apple TV Plus has renewed its acclaimed spy drama Slow Horses<\/a> for a further two runs \u2013 bringing the total number of seasons to four.<\/p>\n

The first six-episode season of the series \u2013 which stars Gary Oldman as maverick intelligence officer Jackson Lamb \u2013 debuted on the platform in April, and a second is set to launch later in 2022.<\/p>\n

And now fans can look forward to at least two more seasons on top of that, with the third and fourth novels in Mick Herron\u2019s spy series Slough House both set to be adapted.<\/p> <\/div>\n

According to a press release, the third season will see Lamb and his allies attempt to foil a rogue agent when one of their own is kidnapped, while the fourth opens with a bombing that detonates personal secrets, \u201crocking the already unstable foundations of Slough House.\u201d<\/p>\n

Saul Metzstein \u2013 whose previous credits include several episodes of Brassic and Doctor Who \u2013 has been announced as the director for the third season, with no one yet confirmed to helm the fourth.<\/p>\n

Season one director James Hawes had previously outlined his hopes for further seasons, telling Deadline<\/a>\u00a0that \u201cthere is every hope and intention that there will be another couple of seasons in the immediate future.\u201d<\/p>\n

The series boasts an impressive cast full of British talent, with Oldman joined in the ensemble by both seasoned performers such as Kristin Scott Thomas and Jonathan Price, and younger actors like Jack Lowden and Olivia Cooke, although it\u2019s possible the latter won\u2019t return after her fate was left unclear at the end of the first run.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The first season was met with mainly strong reviews when it was released in April, with Oldman\u2019s performance coming in for particular praise.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not yet clear exactly when the second season \u2013 which is to be directed by Jeremy Lovering \u2013 will launch on the streamer, but we do know that it has already been shot and will air sometime later this year.<\/p>\n
