Slow Horses Season 5 Premieres Wednesday on Apple TV+ With Roddy Ho in the Spotlight

Early reviews hail a Roddy Ho–led, author-guided reinvention with bold departures from the books.

Overview

  • Apple TV+ drops a two‑episode launch on September 24 at 12 a.m. PT/3 a.m. ET, with the remaining episodes releasing weekly on Wednesdays.
  • Season 5 runs six episodes and reframes elements of the London Rules story around Roddy Ho’s mysterious new relationship and citywide intrigue.
  • Ted Lasso’s Nick Mohammed joins as London’s mayor, and he teases an “explosive” finale featuring an intense action sequence.
  • Mick Herron confirms significant changes from his novel that he discussed with the creatives and in some cases initiated himself.
  • Advance notices report a 100% critics score for the new season, and Apple has already greenlit Seasons 6 and 7.
