British spy thriller Slow Horses is back for its fourth season, titled Spook Street, but who are the new cast members? Find all the details below.
The first two episodes of the new run arrive on Apple TV+ on September 4, with the remaining four instalments being released on a weekly basis, wrapping up the fourth season on October 2.
The show is based on the Slough House series of novels by Mick Herron and is based around a group of British intelligence officers who have been demoted after having made significant mistakes. Gary Oldman stars as Jackson Lamb, the head of Slough House, alongside Kristin Scott Thomas, Jack Lowden and Jonathan Pryce.
In a five-star review of season three, NME wrote: “The sad thing about Slow Horses is how few people are watching it on Apple TV+ in the UK. Far fewer are subscribed versus the other streaming giants. However, this season could change all that as the buzz around the show becomes impossible to ignore: it’s the best show on TV right now.”
