Lowden films eighth Slow Horses series after nerve-agent cliffhanger
Jack Lowden has been filmed working on the eighth series of *Slow Horses*, despite the previous series ending with his character, River Cartwright, collapsing after exposure to a nerve agent. The footage suggests Cartwright survives the cliffhanger, while adding to speculation about whether Lowden could still become the next James Bond.
The filming took place in east London with co-star Olivia Cooke, shortly after the series six finale aired; series seven has already been completed. Lowden, 36, is among the actors tipped to succeed Daniel Craig, alongside Callum Turner and Josh O’Connor, and Gary Oldman has publicly backed him. Reports say screen tests have taken place at Bray Studios, while Amazon MGM and Apple TV are both said to want Lowden for their spy projects.
In short
- Jack Lowden has been seen filming *Slow Horses* series eight.
- The footage suggests River Cartwright survives the nerve-agent cliffhanger.
- Lowden remains tipped for Bond amid reported interest from Amazon and Apple.
Explained simply
Slow Horses is a television drama based on Mick Herron’s novels about a group of British intelligence officers who have been sidelined from frontline work. Jack Lowden plays River Cartwright, one of the officers, while Olivia Cooke is among the series’ other cast members.
Lowden is also mentioned as a possible successor to Daniel Craig, who played James Bond in his most recent films. Callum Turner and Josh O’Connor have also been linked to the role, but no successor has been confirmed. Bond is a separate film franchise, and speculation about casting is distinct from Lowden’s work on Slow Horses.
