Hugo Weaving has joined Gary Oldman in the cast of Slow Horses Season 4.
Adapted from Spook Street, the fourth novel in the Mick Herron spy series Slough House, season four will premiere in September.
The returning ensemble cast also includes Australian Christopher Chung, plus Kristin Scott Thomas, Jack Lowden, Saskia Reeves, Rosalind Eleazar, Aimee-Ffion Edwards, Kadiff Kirwan and Jonathan Pryce.
Joanna Scanlan, Ruth Bradley, Tom Brooke and James Callis also join in season four.
“Slow Horses” is a darkly humorous espionage drama that follows a dysfunctional team of British intelligence agents who serve in a dumping ground department of MI5 known un-affectionately as Slough House. Season four opens with a bombing that detonates personal secrets, rocking the already unstable foundations of Slough House.
Oldman stars as Jackson Lamb, the brilliant but misanthropic leader of the spies, who end up in Slough House due to their career-ending mistakes as they frequently find themselves blundering around the smoke and mirrors of the espionage world.
“Slow Horses” is produced for Apple TV+ by See-Saw Films and adapted for television by Will Smith (“Veep”). Jamie Laurenson, Hakan Kousetta, Iain Canning, Emile Sherman, Jane Robertson, Julian Stevens, Douglas Urbanski, Gail Mutrux, Graham Yost and Will Smith serve as executive producers on the series. Season four is directed by Adam Randall.
First two episodes Wednesday, 4 September then weekly on Apple TV+.
