Slow Horsesseason 4concluded onApple TV Pluslast Wednesday, October 9, but there’ll be plenty more where that came from as the hit spy series will return with two more seasons. Season 6 was greenlit before the fifth installment even aired – it gotrenewed for season 5 in January after setting a new recordfor the streamer – soApple’s streaming service has a lot of confidence in this series.

Personally, I’m thrilled that Apple TV Plus continues to back its original content. It’s already home to two of the best sci-fi shows around, which will both return in the next three months withnew seasons: watch out forSiloseason 2andSeveranceseason 2. Unlike recentNetflix cancelations, it seems like Apple TV Plus really wants viewers to see more of these great stories.

What do we know about Slow Horses season 6?

Confirming the news in a press release on October 15, Jay Hunt, creative director for Europe at Apple TV Plus said: “Audiences around the world have fallen in love with theSlow Horses,and I’m delighted that Gary Oldman will be leading this star-studded cast on another acerbic and action-packed adventure."

The release also teased a very short synopsis about one of thebest Apple TV Plus shows, which revealed that season 6 would focus on the Slow Horses on the run as Diana Taverner embroils them in “a fatally high-stakes game of retaliation and revenge”. Of course, we still have season 5 to get through, so we’ll have to wait a little while to see what happens next. But it is certainly good news that the story will continue!

WithSlow Horsescontinuing to draw in big audiences, the show really is going from strength to strength. Season 5 is set to be based on the fifth book in the seriesLondon Rules, following an MP who goes on a political rampage as he and his tabloid journalist wife set their sights on MI5, so there is a lot of drama heading our way on thebest streaming service.
