Apple TV’s ‘Slow Horses’ Is Officially Facing a ‘Game of Thrones’-Sized Problem With Season 8
Apple TV+ has renewed *Slow Horses* for an eighth season, extending the acclaimed spy thriller’s run but creating a major source-material problem. The series adapts Mick Herron’s *Slough House* novels, and it may soon exhaust the published books that have guided its storylines.
Season 6 combines *Joe Country* and *Slough House*, while Season 7 is expected to adapt *Bad Actors* and Season 8 presumably *Clown Town*. The show could continue with original plots, pause until Herron publishes more material, or end with its eighth season; this uncertainty follows changes in its showrunner team.
- Season 8 renewal may outpace the books.
- Later seasons could require original storylines.
- The series might conclude after Season 8.
