“Slow Horses” is back and better than ever for its second season, though things are not as simple as they seem when the Slough House takes on a case that leader Jackson Lamb feels is “too suspicious.”
After an ex-service agent dies with a mysterious note on his phone, “cicada,” a nickname for Russian sleeper agents embedded in British society, the group is back in action to unveil Cold War era secrets and prevent catastrophe.
As the team begins to uncover the threat posed by the activation of the agents, Lamb warns these secrets “couldn’t have been too well-hidden.”
“This feels too suspicious,” Lamb said, “there’s more to it.”
Upon this revelation, Lamb commits to a new approach: “Sometimes the only way to work out why a trap has been set is to walk into it.” Quickly, they realize they’ve found a ticking time bomb that threatens to destroy society as they know it and must address the “unfinished business” before it’s too late.
Jeremy Lovering will direct the second season while Jamie Laurenson, Hakan Kousetta, Iain Canning, Emile Sherman, Douglas Urbanski, Gail Mutrux, Will Smith and Graham Yost serve as executive producers. “Slow Horses” is produced by See-Saw Films and adapted for television by Will Smith.
Oldman stars alongside Kristin Scott Thomas, Jack Lowden, Saskia Reeves, Rosalind Eleazar, Dustin Demri-Burns, Christopher Chung, Freddie Fox, Chris Reilly, Samuel West, Aimee-Ffion Edwards, Kadiff Kirwan and Jonathan Pryce.
“Slow Horses” Season 2 will premiere its first two episodes Dec. 2 on Apple TV+, with new episodes released weekly on Fridays.
