Slow Horses Season 5: Everything we know so far about release date, cast and plot
Okay, let's talk about Slow Horses . If you're not obsessed with this Apple TV+ show yet, what are you even doing? It's got everything: spies screwing up in the most glorious ways, Jackson Lamb's gross-but-brilliant vibe, and enough twists to make your head spin. I binged Season 4 in two days (no shame), and now I'm counting down to Season 5 like it's my job. So, grab a coffee—or a pint, if you're channeling Lamb—and let's unpack what's coming: when it drops, who's in it, and what kind of mess the Slough House crew is stumbling into this time. Slow Horses Season 5 Release Date
Slow Horses Season 5 lands on September 24, 2025, and I'm already clearing my schedule. Apple TV+ is sticking with their usual playbook: a two-episode premiere to hook us, then one episode every Wednesday until the finale on October 22, 2025. Six episodes total, which feels way too short, but they always pack a punch. If you're behind, Seasons 1–4 are streaming on Apple TV+—perfect for a weekend marathon. New to the platform? Snag a seven-day free trial and thank me later. Slow Horses Season 5 Expected Cast
The Slough House crew is back, and thank goodness, because this cast is pure gold. Leading the charge is Gary Oldman as Jackson Lamb, the chain-smoking, farting, genius spymaster who somehow keeps this dysfunctional team together. Oldman's performance is so good it earned a 2024 Emmy nod, and we are betting he'll steal every scene again. The rest of the gang includes: Jack Lowden as River Cartwright
Kristin Scott Thomas as Diana Taverner
Rosalind Eleazar as Louisa Guy
Christopher Chung as Roddy Ho
Saskia Reeves as Catherine Standish
Aimee-Ffion Edwards as Shirley Dander
Ruth Bradley as Emma Flyte
James Callis as Claude Whelan
Tom Brooke as J.K. Coe
Jonathan Pryce as David Cartwright
There's also a fresh face: Nick Mohammed joins as Zafar Jaffrey, a slick politician gunning to be the UK's next Prime Minister. He's a guest star, so expect him to stir up trouble. As for Hugo Weaving's creepy Frank Harkness from Season 4, there's buzz he might not return until Season 6, but nothing's confirmed. Fingers crossed for more of that chilling vibe. Slow Horses Season 5 Potential Plot
Season 5 pulls from Mick Herron's fifth novel, London Rules , and it's packed with the kind of twisty, high-stakes drama we love. The official word from Apple TV+? 'Roddy Ho's got a glamorous new girlfriend, and nobody trusts it. When weird stuff starts happening across London, the Slow Horses have to figure out how it's all connected. And Jackson Lamb? He's reminding everyone that in the spy game, 'London Rules' always apply.'
Without spoiling the fun, here's the gist: a string of bizarre, possibly terrorist-related incidents shakes the UK, and our ragtag team gets dragged into the mess. Roddy Ho, of all people, steps into the spotlight—his new romance seems too good to be true, and it's tied to the bigger picture. We'll also get a peek into Jackson Lamb's murky past, maybe even the screw-up that landed him in Slough House. Expect political intrigue (think Brexit and immigration debates), messy personal stakes, and the team's usual mix of epic wins and epic fails. It's Slow Horses , so you know it'll be darkly funny and edge-of-your-seat intense.

Netflix just got Prime Video's most overlooked crime drama — and you can binge all 3 seasons right now
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. In August 2014, Bryan Cranston won his fourth and final Emmy for his performance as Walter White on "Breaking Bad" and made a speech that would inadvertently lead to his next TV project. 'I don't know why I have been blessed with an abundance of good fortune in my life,' Cranston began. 'I was a kid who always looked for the shortcut — schemer. My own family nicknamed me Sneaky Pete. My own family!' After thanking the academy, his family, the cast, and the crew, he concluded: 'I'd like to dedicate this award to all the sneaky Petes of the world.' The next day, Cranston got a phone call from Zack Van Amburg, the president of Sony Pictures Television, who pitched him a surprising idea: What about a show called "Sneaky Pete"? Seven months later, Cranston had teamed up with David Shore (creator of "House") to write and film a pilot, which aired in March 2015 on CBS. The network passed on the show, and a bidding war began, with "Sneaky Pete" ultimately getting scooped up by Amazon's Prime Video and premiering two years later. Positive reviews were enough to keep the series running for three seasons, but it never managed to break into the mainstream conversation, which is a shame, because "Sneaky Pete" is a truly excellent crime drama. Thankfully, that may finally be about to change. "Sneaky Pete" is streaming for the first time on Netflix as of July 10, meaning this overlooked show has a chance to reach its biggest audience ever. Here's why it's worth making "Sneaky Pete" your new summer obsession. What is 'Sneaky Pete' about? "Sneaky Pete" stars Giovanni Ribisi (best known as the villain in "Ted" and Phoebe's brother in "Friends") as Marius Josipović, a con man who's released from prison as the show begins. Marius soon runs into a gangster he once robbed (Cranston), who wants revenge. Thinking quickly, he remembers that his former cellmate, Pete Murphy, has some rich grandparents in upstate New York who haven't seen their grandson in 20 years. So Marius becomes Pete and heads north to start a new life and meet his new family. While this plan seems to work at first, it quickly arouses the suspicion of his new grandma (Margo Martindale). He's soon introduced to a sprawling family — including a female cousin he probably wishes he could kiss— leading to further complications. Marius' con-man instincts often make things worse, creating an increasingly tangled web of lies that he struggles to keep up with. "Sneaky Pete" season 1 also features a great B-plot focused on Marius' brother Eddie (Michael Drayer) and Cranston's gangster, which helps keep things moving as we're slowly eased into the world of the Murphys. If you're only watching for Bryan Cranston, however, be warned, he doesn't show up in any of the later seasons, which put more focus on the Murphy clan as those relationships continue to develop and new complications are introduced. A network crime drama/prestige TV hybrid The premise of "Sneaky Pete" may seem slightly contrived, but the execution is masterful, thanks in large part to showrunner Graham Yost ("Justified"), who came onboard after Amazon picked up the show with the goal of transforming it from a network drama to prestige television. A big part of that is Bryan Cranston, who was supposed to only get a glorified cameo but instead wound up with a small-but-significant season 1 role. Cranston clearly saw something special in "Sneaky Pete" and decided to stick around. The always-amazing Margo Martindale ("The Americans," "Justified") also does some heavy lifting to elevate the main plotline while Ribisi and the rest of the cast find their footing. Comparing the pilot episode, which was released on Prime Video unchanged, to the series that followed, it's easy to see how Amazon altered the original concept. It's darker and sexier, in the style of so many mid-2010s prestige shows. The overall structure still sometimes feels more episodic, with a clear adventure-of-the-week framing that might play better on CBS (especially early on in the show), but that doesn't mean you can't binge your way through multiple episodes (or even seasons) at a brisk pace. A (somewhat) satisfying ending The most important question to ask about any older show before diving in is whether it sticks the landing. In this case, the answer is a resounding: sort of. Amazon canceled "Sneaky Pete" in 2019 after season 3, and while the series doesn't end on some huge, unresolved cliffhanger, it's also clear that the show's creators were already planning for season 4. Much of the third season is spent assembling various pieces and bringing important plotlines and characters into position. Yost seems like he was setting up for something big that we'll likely never get to see. Then again, if "Sneaky Pete" is a hit on Netflix, maybe a sequel of some sort could still happen (like with "Suits" and its recent spinoff show). But even if these three seasons are all we ever get, you won't regret watching this criminally overlooked crime series that never dipped in quality and just keeps getting better until its very last episode.

"Arthur" TikTok Goes Viral After Trump's PBS Funding Cuts
Everyone's inner child is heartbroken after the Trump administration received approval to reportedly cut all federal funding for public broadcasting, leaving programs like PBS in limbo. PBS President and CEO Paula Kerger said the cuts "go against the will of the American people," in a written statement. "The Senate just approved a rescissions package that goes against the will of the American people, the vast majority of whom trust PBS and believe we provide excellent value to their communities. These cuts will significantly impact all of our stations, but will be especially devastating to smaller stations and those serving large rural areas. Many of our stations, which provide access to free, unique local programming and emergency alerts, will now be forced to make hard decisions in the weeks and months ahead. There is nothing more American than PBS. Despite today's setback, we are determined to keep fighting to preserve the essential services we provide to the American public," Kerger said. The PBS channel has been home to many popular educational children's TV shows, including the Emmy-winning animated series Arthur, a show about an 8-year-old aardvark who explores real-life issues through the lens of a child and promotes healthy problem-solving and social skills for young kids. Well, the official Arthur TikTok page recently posted a video in response to the news of budget cuts, with the caption: "PBS has been defunded. This isn't goodbye yet." In the clip, the character Sue from Arthur is seen writing in her journal. "I never wanna go through another fire. But I also never wanna lose this feeling. That each day is special; that my friends are the best friends in the world; and that if we stick together, we can make it through just about anything." The TikTok has received over 350,000 views in less than 24 hours, and thousands of comments have expressed their heartbreak over Trump's PBS cuts. "You guys raised multiple generations and that won't be forgotten ever," one person wrote. "I can't believe these vile politicians defunded you. Fuck them," another person wrote. "Trump is trying to defund education. They know education means they have less power and voter base. Don't let them win. Continue to educate yourself," another person wrote. Others shared what the show Arthur has meant to their lives. "This channel was my everything. I learned how to speak English watching PBS." "I came to the U.S. when I was 4. I went into school knowing 0 English thanks to PBS kids I learned English by the 3rd grade fluently. I'm now about to be in 12th." "from a foster child that had no structure or love growing up. thank you for helping raise me into who I am." One person even shared that "Arthur's Reading Race" helped them start reading as an autistic kid. And this teacher said that PBS reinforced the "ethics" taught to them at home and helped them as a student. According to @arthursPBS, donating to your local PBS station is one way to help.
