The first two episodes of season five will be released on Wednesday (September 24), with the remaining ones coming out one per week after that. It will have six episodes in total and is expected to conclude on October 22.

Slow Horses will be available just in time for breakfast for viewers in the UK. Episodes in season five will come out at 8am British time, each Wednesday.

For viewers in America they will be out at 12am PT/ 3am ET. Across the channel in Europe, it will be available from 9am CEST on Wednesdays.

Will Slow Horses be back for season 6?

Since it premiered back in 2022, the show has become a very regular part of the Apple TV+ schedule. It has released four seasons in under three years with the fifth about to start.

Apple TV has already announced not just a sixth series of the hit spy thriller, but a seventh one as well. So there will be at least two more seasons to look forward to.

Mick Herron has just released the ninth book in the Slough House series - entitled Clown Town. It means there is plenty of material left to be adapted.

Apple TV+

Notable shows: The Morning Show, Ted Lasso, Dickinson, Servant

Notable movies: On The Rocks, Greyhound

One of the newer kids on the block, an Apple TV+ subscription comes free for a year with any new Apple device – and of course, that's worth taking advantage of. 

Apple have money to burn and it shows in the production values of the shows they make – The Morning Show is a slick proposition with Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon, and Steve Carrell in a deliciously tawdry, smart look at behind the scenes of morning television. And Ted Lasso is a warm-hearted joy.  

What Apple+ TV doesn't have is a deep reservoir of content. It's also not compatible with Android, or games consoles.  

At £4.99 per month for those who haven't recently bought anything Apple, it's a cheap option – but you don't get a huge amount for the outlay. If we were being cheeky, we'd recommend doing the free seven day trial to see if there's anything you really want to get into – then spend a month working through it, paying a fiver. You won't need much longer than that, and you can cancel anytime.  

You can also share your subscription with up to five family and friends using the Family Share Function.

Free seven day trial, then £4.99 per month. No contract. Sign up here
