Gary Oldman is back as the grumpy Jackson Lamb for season 5 of Apple TV+'s Slow Horses, along with Jack Lowden as former MI5-er River Cartwright and Kristin Scott Thomas as the Deputy General of MI5 Diana Taverner.

Based on the fifth Slough House book by Mick Herron, London Rules, the new series will centre around resident tech genius Roddy Ho. When a string of increasingly strange incidents begin to unfold across London, the Slow Horses must connect the dots before chaos takes hold.

“Sinister forces are trying to bring down the country. What are we going to do?” Taverner teased in the trailer.

The highly-anticipated series will launch with two episodes.
