Is the Slow House gang returning for yet another season?
The Apple TV+ premiered series, Slow Horses is a fun show about plenty of guns, knives, blood, theories, and more. The third season will feature Jackson Lamb (Gary Oldman) and his entire team as they get back to cracking another case when Catherine Standish (Saskia Reeves) goes missing. So far there are two seasons of the series.
Will there be a season 3 of Slow Horses?
Most likely, yes. Slow Horses season 3 renewal announcement was made back in June 2022. It was announced that season 3 and 4 will premiere. The upcoming seasons will all be based on the Real Tiger and Spook Street novels. This implies that the drama will have got through half of Mick Herron’s 8-part book series.
Speaking exclusively with RadioTimes.com ahead of the second season’s release, Lowden said that he would want to continue playing River. He also mentioned his will of adapting Herron’s novels beyond the currently confirmed third and fourth seasons.
Asked whether he would like to play the character for eight seasons, to adapt each of Herron’s eight novels, Lowden said: “I mean, I want to see them – as a fan. I want to see all eight seasons, of course, and I think Mick’s writing another [novel]. And so as a fan, I’d love to watch it.
“And obviously as the actor in it, I would love to just keep going with where River is heading because we’re shooting season 3 just now and it’s really exciting where he’s going.
“There’s definitely a bigger story with River that I would definitely love to see to its conclusion, which I can’t say anything about, but if it’s going the way I think it’s going – because I’ve not read the books – then I’d love to see it, yeah.”
When will season 3 be released?
While the third season has officially been confirmed, the release date isn’t scheduled yet. You will need to wait until the makers confirm the official premiere date. Stay connected with us for as soon as we receive more info, we will update it here.
What will the third season of Slow Horses be about?
Of course, the book! Slow Horses season 3 will be based on the third novel of Mick Herron’s book series, Real Tigers.
The blurb for the book reads as follows: “Catherine Standish knows that chance encounters never happen to spooks. She’s worked in the Intelligence Service long enough to understand treachery, double-dealing and stabbing in the back.
“What she doesn’t know is why anyone would target her: a recovering drunk pushing paper with the other lost causes in Jackson Lamb’s kingdom of exiles at Slough House.
“Whoever it is holding her hostage, it can’t be personal. It must be about Slough House. Most likely, it is about Jackson Lamb. And say what you like about Lamb, he’ll never leave a joe in the lurch. He might even be someone you could trust with your life…”
