Apple TV+ spy thriller Slow Horses<\/a> has kicked off its third season in style, with two thrilling episodes now available to stream.<\/p>\n The new season is based on Mick Herron\u2019s novel Real Tigers<\/a>, and tells the story of a conspiracy which envelopes the Slough House gang as MI5 secrets are on the verge of being leaked.<\/p>\n The show\u2019s creator, Will Smith, recently caught up with RadioTimes.com<\/a> about the new season, and revealed how close it sticks to the original source material \u2013 and one big deviation it makes.<\/p>\n Smith said: \u201cWe try to be as faithful to the book as we can. And certainly, when we do change it, we try and stick to the spirit \u2013 we always stick to the spirit of the characters and we\u2019re not going to change that at all, because we love Mick\u2019s world and the characters.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd with the story, it\u2019s just building it out. We normally get about four episodes and a couple of really great endings and then we sort of build out from that.\u201d<\/p>\n Smith continued: \u201cI think the biggest change in this was\u2026 it\u2019s all about Sean Donovan seeking revenge for the death of the woman he loves, and it was just showing that death basically, and animating that so it wasn\u2019t just a thing that he was remembering, as he does in the book.<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cIt works in the book, because you can go in his head and that\u2019s all great, but obviously, you can\u2019t do that in TV. And it\u2019s just like, if this man is gonna go to these extreme lengths to get vengeance for this woman then, if it\u2019s in the abstract and you\u2019re only hearing about her you don\u2019t really believe it.<\/p>\n \u201cBut if you can see the love they have, you see the grief that that he\u2019s experiencing then it explains the things he\u2019s doing, so it was just making sure that you were with him on that journey.\u201d<\/p> The moment Smith talks about comes right at the start of the first episode, when Katherine Waterston\u2019s new character, MI5 agent Alison Dunn, is killed off in a shocking moment.<\/p>\n The other major new character this season, Sean Donovan, is played by \u1e62\u1ecdp\u1eb9\u0301 D\u00ecr\u00eds\u00f9<\/a>, who Smith said is a \u201ca massive star, and he\u2019s gonna be an even bigger star\u201d.<\/p> ![\"\u1e62\u1ecdp\u1eb9\u0301](\"https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2023\/11\/SlowHorsesPhoto030102-7d7c9e9.jpg?quality=90&resize=619%2C413\" "\\"Slow_Horses_Photo_030102\\"\/")
