'Slow Horses' season 5 release date just confirmed — here's when it returns to Apple TV Plus
TVLine is reporting that season 5 will premiere on Apple's streaming service on Wednesday, Sept. 24, with a two-episode premiere.
Now, it's important to note that this is not an official announcement from Apple. But TVLine is considered a reputable outlet, and we have no reason to suspect that their reporting on this release date is inaccurate.
Especially since I already had some suspicions that season 5 would arrive in September.
When Apple revealed its slate of Apple TV Plus Summer 2025 shows and movies, Slow Horses made an appearance in the YouTube teaser trailer.
Given that, outside of season 1, "Slow Horses" has always debuted in or just outside of the fall season, I assumed that a summer 2025 release window implied an early September release date, given summer doesn't end until September 21 this year.
I was close! Last year, season 4 debuted on September 4, 2024, which was still technically in the summer. So with that reference point, I guessed that season 5 would come on Wednesday, September 3.

I got the Wednesday part right and the September part right. I was just a few weeks early on the exact date.
Season 5 of "Slow Horses" is an adaptation of "London Rules," Mick Herron's fifth novel in the "Slough House" series. It's the direct sequel to "Spook Street," which was the basis for "Slow Horses" season 4.
Apple's official synopsis reads: "In season 5 of 'Slow Horses,' everyone is suspicious when resident tech nerd Roddy Ho has a glamorous new girlfriend, but when a series of increasingly bizarre events occur across the city, it falls to the Slow Horses to work out how everything is connected. After all, Jackson Lamb knows that in the world of espionage, 'London Rules' should always apply."
Based on that synopsis and the season 5 teaser trailer above, we know Ho and Lamb will be in the spotlight in season 5. And the last thing you want when you're a spy is to be in the spotlight.

British Comic Nish Kumar on How YouTube Helped Him Achieve Success Outside of the U.K.
British comic and podcast host Nish Kumar knows the value of Netflix specials for A-listers like Chris Rock and Dave Chappelle. But he sees emerging comedians like himself with slow-burn careers often getting their biggest boost globally from YouTube after years playing clubs big and small back home. 'I'm primarily known in North America because of a British show called Taskmaster, which people outside the UK watch on YouTube,' Kumar told The Hollywood Reporter while performing at the Just For Laughs comedy festival in Montreal. More from The Hollywood Reporter 'In the Land of Arto': Camille Cottin, Zar Amir Ebrahimi Journey Into Armenia and Its Past (Exclusive Clips) Why Stand-up Legend George Wallace Can't Get Off the Stage After 49 Years in Comedy: "I'm Living My Dream" Former Obama Speechwriter Jon Lovett on How Trump Is Funny Like a "Clown With a Gun" Re-runs of Taskmaster, a British comedy panel game show that included Kumar, have been viewed on YouTube as creator-driven online platforms increasingly disrupt the traditional media landscape, and podcasts like Crooked Media's Pod Save the UK, which Kumar co-hosts with cultural journalist Coco Khan, transform the audio space. The podcast gig followed Kumar appearing on stage at a live London comedy show produced by Crooked Media, which was followed by that proverbial chance call from Hollywood. Soon after he walked off stage, he got a call from Los Angeles asking if he could be at a meeting in London in 20 minutes. 'And I was like, I'm already there. I'm literally in the audience. So I got pulled out of the crowd like Courteney Cox in the 'Dancing in the Dark' video,' Kumar recalled. Later, Crooked Media asked if he'd be interested in launching and hosting a British show, which he did. Kumar's Pod Save the UK offers a weekly fix on U.K. politics. That means Kumar and co-host Khan got to cover the downfall of British prime minister Boris Johnson over his rule-breaking parties in No. 10 during the COVID-19 pandemic. 'In terms of historic failures of leadership, I think Johnson's conduct in the pandemic is one of those things that people will study for years,' Kumar says. But while the U.K.'s Conservative Party sent Johnson packing, Kumar has a take on why Donald Trump, also judged by many as a political buffoon whose erratic style endears him to followers, was restored to the White House for a second term. 'Trump has killed the broad church in the Republican Party. It's no longer a political party. It's a delivery system for a single man and that's a huge problem,' he insists. As Nigel Farage, a protégé of Trump, challenges Britain's current Labor government in the polls, Kumar doesn't look forward to his Reform UK party coming to power to reinvigorate his political comedy. 'The thing with (Farage) and Trump is there is a shamelessness. It actually makes it harder to make fun of them. Politicians in theory are supposed to conduct themselves with a level of dignity that means there's something to prick for principles. Farage and Trump are congenitally shameless men,' Kumar said.

All About Eve Jobs's Husband, Harry Charles
Eve Jobs is the youngest daughter of the late Steve Jobs, the famous founder of Apple, and his former wife, Laurene. On Saturday, Eve married famous equestrian Harry Charles in the Cotswolds. The Jobs family reportedly went all out for the luxurious wedding, but Laurene has stated in the past that wealth accumulation has not been a priority in the family. She told the New York Times in 2020 that the tech mogul 'didn't care about the accumulation of wealth' and she decided to dedicate her life to 'doing the very best I can to distribute it effectively, in ways that lift up individuals and communities in a sustainable way.' She added, 'I'm not interested in legacy wealth building, and my children know that. Steve wasn't interested in that. If I live long enough, it ends with me.' Eve and her new husband, however, did spend a lot on their ceremony, according to Us Weekly, who stated it was held at St. Michael and All Angels in Great Tew, followed by a reception at the private members' club and hotel Estelle Manor. There, Sir Elton John serenaded the couple and guests—the perfect way to kick off a new marriage. Here's everything to know about Eve and her relationship with Charles so far. Harry Charles is a 26-year-old Olympian, who first represented Great Britain at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. There, he competed in individual jumping and team jumping. In 2024, he was a member of the British Team again and won a gold for show jumping at the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics. He even won that medal with a fractured arm strapped to his side from an earlier injury, with the help of his horse, Romeo. Per the Daily Mail, he also has had success outside the Olympics, at the London International Horse Show in 2021 with three wins, including winning the World Cup competition with Stardust and the Grand Prix with Borsato. Charles comes from a long line of horse people. His father, Peter, is also a former Olympic equestrian and was on Team GB when Britain won their first team jumping gold medal in 60 years at the 2012 London Summer Olympics. They reportedly began dating in 2022 and got engaged in September 2024. They likely have bonded over horses, because Eve has a passion for equestrian hobbies as well. She even competes, most recently at The Defender Stakes in the Castle Arena in May 2025. A source told the U.S. Sun that their Cotswolds ceremony would be a 'society wedding like no other.' 'The sleepy village in which it's taking place feels like it's turning into a no-go zone, with secret service operatives and blokes who look like they work for the FBI,' the insider said. 'This is a very quiet place not far from the Cotswolds. Everyone is used to tourists and famous faces, but this is something else.' In photos from the event, it does appear as though people lined up to check out the arrivals at the church. According to The Times, there was a celebrity guest list, including Kamala Harris, Bill and Melinda Gates' daughter Jennifer Gates Nassar, and chef Ruth Rogers and Bruce Springsteen's daughter, Jessica Springsteen, who also served as a bridesmaid.

'1965,' which is from Murph's newly released second studio album 'Sex Hysteria,' is filled with raunchy lyrics.

An insider told the Daily Mail that Murph's song and music video sparked outrage in the country music scene, with some comparing her to Kanye West. 'If she continues this and goes completely off the rails like Kanye, then people should have more conversations about the person she is rather than the artist she is,' the insider told the outlet. 11 Jessie Murph performing during The ACM Country Kickoff at Tostitos Championship Plaza in Frisco, Texas.

'I'm glad that I make people have some sort of reaction. I'd rather them be like, 'I hate you,' or 'I love you,' rather than, 'I feel indifferently,' I guess,' the Alabama native stated. 11 Jessie Murph seen in New York City on July 21.

Days after releasing her new album, Murph's performance to '1965' on 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon' was similarly bashed by fans online. 'how dare anybody be comparing this to Amy… you should all be ashamed smh,' one fan wrote. 11 Jessie Murph performs during Spotify's 2025 Songs of Summer Celebration.
