In Slow Horses Season 7, Jackson Lamb and his team of Slow Horses will be on a mission to identify and neutralize a mole embedded within the British Government before the individual can destabilize the state. The series is a darkly humorous espionage drama centered on a dysfunctional team of British intelligence agents assigned to Slough House, an MI5 outpost for those whose careers have faltered. Oldman portrays Jackson Lamb, the insightful yet ill-tempered leader of this group of spies, who often navigate the complexities of the espionage world despite their past blunders.
Jay Hunt, creative director, Europe, Apple TV+, commented on the series’ continued success: “Slow Horses has won fans all over the world with its unique mix of self-deprecating British humor and high-octane action. I’m delighted viewers will have another season to enjoy Gary’s magnificent performance as Jackson Lamb alongside the Slow Horses slightly inept spycraft.”
