Slow Horses<\/a> has now returned for a third season of spy shenanigans with Gary Oldman\u2019s Jackson Lamb and the rest of the Slough House team, although the first episode had a surprise opening segment, without any of our returning characters.<\/p>\n Instead, the first 10 minutes of the episode introduced us to the already announced<\/a> new characters played by guest stars \u1e62\u1ecdp\u1eb9 D\u00ecr\u00eds\u00f9\u2019s (Gangs of London<\/a>) and Katherine Waterston (Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them<\/a>), two agents and lovers in Istanbul.<\/p>\n Waterston\u2019s character Alison found D\u00ecr\u00eds\u00f9\u2019s character Sean rifling through her things, as he revealed that the agency believed she was about to leak a sensitive file. As it turns out, they were right.<\/p>\n A chase across the city ensued, but Alison got the file to her contact \u2013 or so it seemed. While we didn\u2019t see just what happened next, Sean found her lifeless body, with Alison having either fallen or been pushed off a stadium.<\/p>\n While it\u2019s not unlike Slow Horses to kill off its supporting cast, it was still a shock to see such a big name actor bite the dust so early in their tenure, only 10 minutes into their first episode \u2013 particularly as Waterson\u2019s casting had been so readily announced.<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n The rest of the episode saw Sean kidnap Catherine Standish sometime later, with the cliffhanger seeing Jack Lowden\u2019s River also roped into whatever is going on.<\/p>\n The first episode was released alongside the second on Apple TV+<\/a>, with subsequent instalments set to be released weekly on Wednesdays.<\/p> This third season won\u2019t be the last of Slow Horses. We already know that a fourth season<\/a> is on the way, with new guest stars<\/a> including Hugo Weaving (The Lord of the Rings), Joanna Scanlan (After Love), Ruth Bradley (Guilt), Tom Brooke (Empire of Light) and James Callis (Battlestar Galactica).<\/p>\n However, given this season 3 premiere, who knows how many of them will make it beyond the title sequence\u2026<\/p> ![\"Katherine](\"https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2023\/11\/GettyImages-1456051990-bd046fd.jpg?quality=90&resize=620%2C413\" "\\"Babylon\\"\/")
