Hugo Weaving, “Battlestar Galactica” alum James Callis, BAFTA winner Joanna Scanlan (“After Love”), Ruth Bradley (“Guilt”) and Tom Brooke (“Empire of Light”) are all set to join the darkly comedic espionage thriller series “Slow Horses” for its fourth season on the Apple TV+ service.
Filming on the third and fourth seasons is taking place back-to-back, much like what happened with the first and second seasons. A renewal was handed out in June, with filming on the third beginning late last year. As of March, the third season had completed its shoot, with the fourth now filming.
Adam Randall will direct the fourth season which will be based on the 2017 novel “Spook Street”. In the season, a bomb goes off in the middle of a busy shopping center, killing forty civilians, and the dysfunctional team of MI5 agents at Slough House has to figure out who is behind this act of terror.
At the same time, River Cartwright has to deal with his retired spymaster grandfather starting to mentally lose it and beginning to suspect everyone in his life has been sent by the Service to watch him.
The third season is expected to screen sometime this year and sees Gary Oldman’s Jackson Lamb and his allies attempt to foil a rogue agent when one of their own is kidnapped.
Oldman and other series regulars like Kristin Scott Thomas, Jack Lowden, Saskia Reeves, Rosalind Eleazar, Christopher Chung, Aimee-Ffion Edwards, Kadiff Kirwan, and Jonathan Pryce are all expected back for the fourth season.
