Slow Horses gallops into a 3rd season (Apple spy-fy TV series: trailer).

Get ready to trot back into the world of espionage with Season 3 of Slow Horses, the series where Britain’s least graceful spies take on threats to the realm in a manner that’s anything but sleek. Returning to Apple TV+ on November 29, the darkly humorous show stars Gary Oldman as the irreverently sharp-witted Jackson Lamb, who leads a motley crew of MI5’s sidelined agents from the dreary confines of Slough House.

This season gallops into a plot thick with intrigue and danger, as a London-based MI5 secret unfurls its tendrils from the romantic alleyways of Istanbul. The stakes are personal this time, with the kidnapping of Catherine Standish (Saskia Reeves), pulling our band of unlikely heroes into a web that threatens the entire MI5 institution.

Adapted from Mick Herron’s Real Tigers, Season 3 promises a blend of thrills and a signature comedic touch, teasing more action than ever. Our agents may not have the high-tech gadgets or the cool demeanor of their 007 counterparts, but they’ve got the heart – and the series assures us they also retain their off-kilter sense of humor amidst the shootouts and high-stakes operations.

Joining the familiar, beloved cast are Ṣọpẹ́ Dìrísù and Katherine Waterston, who are sure to add new dynamics to the established group of misfits. And as the series has already been renewed for a fourth season, it’s clear these underdog spies have charmed their way into the hearts of viewers with their unorthodox methods and bumbling resilience.

Slow Horses may not be your standard spy fare, but it’s exactly its departure from the norm that has fans eager for more. With its combination of wit, grit, and a commendable lack of polish, the upcoming season is set to deliver another round of delightfully messy spy antics.
