Apple TV+ has found success in recent years with a focus on quality over quantity. While early shows were good, few became breakout hits. However, recent releases like Severance, Silo, The Studio, Murderbot, Stick, and Dope Thief have garnered critical acclaim and fan buzz.
Slow Horses has become a slow-burn success, with four action-packed seasons that play out like TV mini-series. The show has maintained consistency with annual seasons, unlike other Apple TV+ dramas.
Each season of Slow Horses has been well-received, with high ratings on Rotten Tomatoes. Apple has already ordered a seventh season ahead of the fifth season premiere.
The series is based on the Slough House novels by Mick Herron, with each season adapting a different book. Season 6 will combine books 6 and 7, and season 7 will be based on book 8. The future of the series beyond that remains uncertain.
Season 5 of Slow Horses is set to premiere on September 24, 2025, continuing the story of Jackson Lamb and his team as they investigate attacks on the UK.
