- Lowden remains tipped for Bond amid reported interest from Amazon and Apple.

## Summary

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.
