Los Angeles, Emmy and BAFTA-winning spy series “Slow Horses”, starring British veteran Gary Oldman, will return for an eighth season, streamer Apple TV has announced.
Season eight will see Jackson Lamb, played by Academy Award winner Oldman, and MI5 second-in-command Diana Taverner face off in what the streamer describes as their most explosive confrontation yet. Oldman has received Golden Globe, Emmy and BAFTA Award nominations for his performance as Lamb. Season eight will be adapted for television and executive produced by Ben Vanstone, with Adam Randall returning as director.
The announcement comes ahead of the premiere of the show’s sixth season on September 16, with a seventh season already announced.
The six-episode season will be adapted from “Clown Town”, the ninth novel in author Mick Herron’s “Slough House” book series, Apple TV said in a statement. “‘Slow Horses’ continues to charm audiences all around the world and I’m delighted that Jackson Lamb and his gang of lovable misfits will be back for an eighth season,” said Jay Hunt, creative director, International, Apple TV.
