Hit spy drama Slow Horses<\/a> has confirmed when it will be returning for its fourth season on Apple TV+ \u2013 and there\u2019s not too long for fans to wait.<\/p>\n

The critically acclaimed espionage series will return on Wednesday 4th September<\/strong>, with the first two episodes debuting on the streamer on that day and the subsequent four instalments arriving on a weekly basis from then until the finale on 2nd October.<\/p>\n

As with the previous three seasons, the new run will be based on the next book in Mick Herron\u2019s series \u2013 with fourth novel Spook Street this time serving as the source material. A fifth season adapting the following novel London Rules has already been confirmed by Apple.<\/p>\n

Gary Oldman will reprise his role as bad-tempered, foul-mouthed spook Jackson Lamb, who heads up a dysfunctional band of spies at Slough House, MI5\u2019s dumping ground for operatives who have made career-ending mistakes in the field.<\/p>\n

The returning Slough House cast also includes Jack Lowden as enthusiastic agent River Cartwright, Saskia Reeves as office administrator Catherine Standish, Rosalind Eleazar as operative Louisa Guy, Christopher Chung as hacking expert Roddy Ho, Aimee-Ffion Edwards as Shirley Dander and Kadiff Kirwan as Marcus Longridge.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, away from Slough House, Kristin Scott Thomas is back as MI5\u2019s head of operations Diana Taverner, and Jonathan Pryce returns as River\u2019s grandfather and secret service legend David Cartwright, while new faces for season 4 include Hugo Weaving (Lord of the Rings), Joanna Scanlan (The Thick of It) and Ruth Bradley (Ted Lasso).<\/p>\n

Apple has now released some images giving us a first look at cast members old and new in season 4 \u2013 which can be seen throughout this article.<\/p>\n

The stills include one of Jackson Lamb taking a phone call, another of David Cartwright looking back with what seems to be a concerned expression on his face, and first glimpses of series newcomers including Scanlan as Moira Tregorian and Weaving as Frank Harkness.<\/p>\n

According to a synopsis, season 4 will open with \u201ca bombing that detonates personal secrets, rocking the already unstable foundations of Slough House\u201d.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, series creator Will Smith previously told RadioTimes.com<\/a> of the new season:\u00a0\u201cI think that it continues the rupture that exists between River and his grandfather at the end of this season, where River finally starts to question his grandfather, he goes against his judgement, he starts to realise he\u2019s not the man he thought he was.<\/p>\n

\"Joanna\n<\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture>\n<\/div>

\u201cAnd also, he isn\u2019t the man that he was in that he\u2019s started to decline and he\u2019s starting to fall prey to dementia. It\u2019s following that through and seeing River having to deal with real issues, and face up to some things from his past and some things in his present that are really heavy for River to deal with.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo River takes a battering, he\u2019s losing some of his boyishness there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Slow Horses seasons 1-3 are currently streaming on Apple TV+ and season 4 will begin on 4th September 2024 \u2013 sign up to Apple TV+ here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
