Slow Horses, Apple TV's longest-running drama series, is set to return for its sixth season in ten days' time. Based on Mick Herron's novels, the spy series follows a team of disgraced MI5 agents banished to a forgotten division, led by Gary Oldman's irascible spymaster Jackson Lamb. Since debuting in 2022 to positive reviews, it has become one of the streamer's most acclaimed shows.

The article also notes that star Jack Lowden, who plays River Cartwright and previously appeared in Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk, has emerged as one of three actors regularly linked to the next James Bond, alongside Callum Turner and Jack O'Connell. Both rivals have had a busy year on screen, with Turner appearing in the romantic comedy One Night Only and O'Connell starring in Danny Boyle's Ink, which premiered at the Venice Film Festival.
