How Season 7 of Slow Horses raises the stakes for Jackson Lamb
Slow Horses is a darkly humorous espionage drama that follows a dysfunctional team of British intelligence agents in a dumping-ground department of MI5 known un-affectionately as Slough House.
Season 7 adapts Mick Herron’s Bad Actors from the Slough House book series. It follows Jackson Lamb and his Slow Horses as they hunt a mole at the heart of the British Government before it brings down the state. It will also bring back Sir Gary Oldman as Lamb.
The first five seasons of Slow Horses are now streaming on Apple TV, with Season 6’s finale premiering this week. Season 8 was also recently announced.
