Apple unveiled first-look photos for Slow Horses Season 5, which you can view below. Slow Horses The new six-episode season adapts the events of Mick Herron's fifth novel in the Slough House series, London Rules . Slough House London Rules Expect the new season to arrive this fall on Apple TV+. September can't come soon enough for fans of Apple TV+'s Slow Horse s series. After the dramatic developments of Season 4, the Season 5 premiere will reveal how the Slough House team of misfit MI5 agents are dealing with the fallout. In the meantime, take a look at the first-look images below, which Apple TV+ released from select Season 5 episodes. Be forewarned: The rumors are true — Roddy Ho (Christopher Chung) has a real-life girlfriend. For real. Hiba Bennani and Christopher Chung, Image Credit: Apple TV+ Slow Horses Season 5 Based on the fifth book in Mick Herron's Slough House series, London Rules , Slow Horses Season 5 hinges on a series of terrorist attacks in the wake of Brexit. This puts still-new-to-the-job First Desk, Claude Whelan (James Callis), under the proverbial gun, much to Diana Taverner's (Kristin Scott Thomas) delight.

Whether that's Taverner's doing or it's despite her best efforts to keep them out, it puts her and Lamb together again, closer than she usually wants to get to her odoriferously complex colleague.

While the country's concerned about the terrorist attacks, the Slough House team prioritizes their in-house concerns. Apple TV+'s description of the season: 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, Lamb knows that in the world of espionage, the London Rules – cover your back – always apply.

Shirley (Aimee-Ffion Edwards) nearly shot his killer as retribution. Newcomer JK Coe (Tom Brooke) talked her out of it, only to shoot him once she left. Jack Lowden and Tom Brooke, Image Credit: Apple TV+ Speaking of Coe. The ex-Psych Eval agent is a mixed bag of skills and most probably a textbook psychopath. (He was easily my favorite addition to Season 4. One wouldn't think that would stand out much in Slough House, but based on the novel's synopsis, it's a stress point. Penguin Random House's site describes the mood at Slough House in London Rules like this: The agents are struggling with personal problems: repressed grief, various addictions, retail paralysis, and the nagging suspicion that their newest colleague is a psychopath. ( Is anyone else curious about the 'retail paralysis' and whether that'll make it on screen?) Christopher Chung, Image Credit: Apple TV+ Roddy Ho All signs point to a Roddy-centric season. Not only does he have this inexplicably gorgeous girlfriend, but apparently, someone is also trying to kill him. Now, whether those things are connected could explain the first thing, but we're getting ahead of ourselves.

In London Rules , Jaffrey is a West Midlands mayoral candidate, described as the Prime Minister's 'favorite Muslim,' expected to win despite hiding a dark secret. However, Mohammed told Hello! magazine that he's playing the Mayor of London in Slow Horses . Chances are the dark secret still holds, though. Nick Mohammed, Image Credit: Apple TV+ Gary Oldman, Image Credit: Apple TV+ But, of course, we're here for Gary Oldman's Jackson Lamb. Described once as subtle of brain, if nothing else, he's arguably the best character on television. And with Season 6 greenlit and nine novels in the series (plus five spin-off novellas/short stories and three related novels), there is so much more Jackson Lamb to enjoy. Slow Horses Season 5 premieres on September 24 on Apple TV+. On Location: The Lighterman in Apple TV+'s SLOW HORSES Diana lives in Vancouver, BC, Canada, where she invests her time and energy in teaching, writing, parenting, and indulging her love of all Trek and a myriad of other fandoms. She is a lifelong fan of smart sci-fi and fantasy media, an upstanding citizen of the United Federation of Planets, and a supporter of AFC Richmond 'til she dies.
