Slow Horses Season 7 Is Official and Yes, We’re Still Not Over Jackson Lamb’s Smell

Apple TV+ has done it again. Just when we thought the world of dysfunctional British spies couldn’t get any better, the streamer has officially renewed Slow Horses for Season 7. That’s right – the Slough House gang is coming back for more cigarette smoke, bureaucratic bickering, and spy work that’s as messy as it is brilliant.

If you’ve been following the misadventures of Jackson Lamb and his crew of discarded MI5 agents, you know this is very good news. And if you haven’t, well, what are you doing with your life?

Let’s break down everything we know about Slow Horses Season 7, including what to expect, when to expect it, and why this darkly hilarious spy series refuses to quit.

Apple TV+ Renews Slow Horses for Season 7 and We’re Already Buckling In

In a move that shocked absolutely no one with taste, Apple TV+ renewed Slow Horses for a seventh season, continuing its trend of doubling down on Mick Herron’s delightfully cynical spy novels. This new season will be based on Bad Actors, the eighth book in the Slough House series, and promises even more of the dry wit, political intrigue, and unsanitary office spaces we’ve come to love.

What to Expect from Slow Horses Season 7

A Mole Among the Bureaucrats

Season 7 will dive into the events of Bad Actors, where a supposed government mole is playing a dangerous game, and naturally, our favorite group of rejects are dragged right into it. Expect chaos, misplaced files, and a few sarcastic jabs about British intelligence incompetence.

Jackson Lamb will once again lead his hopeless yet oddly capable team, probably while insulting them and refusing to acknowledge their basic human dignity. Honestly, we wouldn’t want it any other way.

More Sharp Dialogue and Shadier Deals

With Gary Oldman reprising his role as Lamb, we can expect the usual mix of biting one-liners, trench coat espionage, and bitter interdepartmental rivalries. The plot might revolve around saving the country, but let’s be honest – we’re mostly here for the verbal takedowns and unwashed ashtrays.

Who’s Returning for Season 7 of Slow Horses?

While full cast details are still under wraps, you can bet your bottom quid that Gary Oldman is back as Jackson Lamb, because he’s said before he’ll keep going as long as they keep making it. Other returning cast members likely include Jack Lowden as River Cartwright, Kristin Scott Thomas as Diana Taverner, and Saskia Reeves as Catherine Standish.

In short, the usual suspects. Hopefully still traumatized, overworked, and underappreciated.

When Will Season 7 of Slow Horses Premiere?

Here’s the deal. Filming is expected to begin in late 2025, so a 2026 or early 2027 release is the most realistic timeline. Given how efficiently Apple TV+ has handled production on this series, we wouldn't be surprised to see it sooner rather than later.

So yes, you’ve got time to rewatch the first six seasons and pretend you’re better than Lamb. (You’re not.)

Why Slow Horses Keeps Getting Renewed

Simple: the writing is sharp, the acting is elite, and the spy drama doesn’t take itself too seriously. It’s a rare gem in the crowded streaming world – dark, funny, smart, and oddly comforting in its dysfunction.

Apple TV+ clearly sees value in continuing the story, and with plenty of source material left in Mick Herron’s novels, the Slough House universe isn’t slowing down anytime soon.

Long Live the Losers of Slough House

To sum it up, Slow Horses Season 7 is officially happening, and fans of twisted espionage, sassy insults, and gloriously grimy office politics should rejoice. Whether you're here for the spycraft or just to hear Jackson Lamb tell someone off in a way that leaves emotional scars, you’re in for another round of elite television.

So pour yourself a lukewarm cup of tea, light a metaphorical cigarette, and get ready. The slow horses are galloping back – limping, wheezing, but always crossing the finish line.
