Has Apple TV canceled Slow Horses or renewed it for Season 6?
Yes, Apple TV has renewed Slow Horses for Season 6.
Season 5 premiered on September 24, 2025. Following its previous season’s patterns, part 5 has a total of six episodes. Fans were expecting an extra number of episodes due to streaming platforms recently splitting their shows’ seasons into parts. However, Slow Horses Season 5 isn’t following this release pattern.
Further, there is a natural curiosity regarding the show’s sixth season. The good news is that Slow Horses will return with Season 6, which was renewed last year. It will be based on the novels Joe Country and Slough House. Creative director, Europe, Apple TV+, Jay Hunt, opened up on the new season. He stated, “Audiences around the world have fallen in love with the Slow Horses, and I’m delighted that Gary Oldman will be leading this star-studded cast on another acerbic and action-packed adventure.”
Moreover, the drama will also roll out a seventh chapter following the novel Bad Actors. While Season 6 has wrapped up filming, Season 7 is expected to start shooting by the end of this month. Gary Oldman told Screen Rant, “This was Will’s last show, season 5, and we had a whole new team come in.” The 67-year-old added, “We’ve already shot season 6, it’s in the can, and at the end of October, we start season 7, and that’s a new team.”
Regarding the release windows, Season 6 is expected to air next year, and the seventh chapter might be released in 2027.
