Hit series Slow Horses has received the green light for a seventh season, it has been announced.
The Apple TV+ spy drama will return with a six-episode season, starring Gary Oldman as British intelligence officer Jackson Lamb.
The show is based on British writer Mick Herron's Slough House book series, which follows a dysfunctional team of intelligence agents who ended up in an MI5 "dumping ground" department at Slough House after they made career-ending mistakes.
The news comes after season six was announced last year and ahead of the release of season five, which is due to come out in September.
The seventh season will be adapted from the novel Best Actors, which follows Lamb and his team as they seek to neutralise a mole at the heart of the British Government before they can bring down the state.
The seventh season will be produced by Ben Vanstone with Robert McKillop, best known for Ludwig, as director.
The show premiered in 2022 with Oldman starring alongside Jack Lowden as agent River Cartwright and Kristin Scott Thomas as Diana Taverner.
The Two Popes star Jonathan Pryce also appeared in the series as recurring character, retired British senior intelligence official David Cartwright.
The award-winning series won a Bafta in 2024 for Outstanding Writing For A Drama Series while Oldman was recognised with Golden Globe, Emmy and Bafta nominations for his portrayal of Lamb.
The London-born Oscar-winner is known for his versatile acting style having portrayed a range of figures, from former prime minister Winston Churchill to Sex Pistols member Sid Vicious.
