When is Slow Horses Season 4 Releasing?
The wait is almost over for Slow Horses enthusiasts. Season 4 is set to premiere on Apple TV+ on Wednesday, September 4, 2024. The season will kick off with a double-episode premiere, followed by weekly releases until the finale on October 2, 2024.
This six-episode season promises to delve deeper into the world of espionage, with even more twists, turns, and unexpected alliances.
Keep in mind that Slow Horses, like the previous season, progresses in chronological order with the episodes. So, if you have yet to watch the first three seasons, we’d highly recommend that you get that out of the way first. Not watching the first three seasons will leave you entirely clueless when you try to watch the fourth one.
What can we expect from Slow Horses Season 4?
Season 4, adapted from Mick Herron’s novel Spook Street, is going to be another gripping chapter in the Slow Horses universe. With Catherine Standish’s departure at the end of season 3, the dynamic within Slough House is bound to shift, creating new challenges and opportunities for the team.
The upcoming season is expected to explore the complex relationship between Jackson Lamb and his estranged son, David Cartwright.
As David begins to exhibit signs of dementia, secrets from the past are unearthed, putting both their lives at risk. This storyline promises to add a personal and emotional depth to the series while maintaining the signature blend of dark humour and high-stakes espionage.
You can anticipate the return of their favourite misfits, including the ever-resourceful River Cartwright, the sharp-tongued Louisa Guy, and the eccentric but brilliant Jackson Lamb.
The new season is likely to introduce fresh faces and potential adversaries, adding to the intrigue and suspense. With the series’ knack for unexpected plot twists and character development, viewers can be assured of a rollercoaster ride filled with espionage, betrayal, and a healthy dose of absurdity.
It would be interesting to see if the creators somehow end up answering the questions that were left unanswered in the first few seasons to get a better look into the show’s future.
Who is cast in Slow Horses Season 4?
Following in on the footsteps of the last three seasons, there are high chances that the fourth season of Slow Horses will return with the core cast.
- Gary Oldman as Jackson Lamb
- Jack Lowden as River Cartwright
- Kristin Scott Thomas as Diana Taverner
- Olivia Cooke as Sid Baker
