The trailer features Diana Taverner (Kristin Scott Thomas) detailing how eleven individuals were fatally shot, an incident they suspect Ho might be involved in.
Jackson immediately doubts his new flame as it emerges that “sinister forces” are attempting to destabilise the nation.
With the clock ticking, the Slow Horses have just sixty minutes to prevent the perpetrators from executing their next violent act, potentially endangering over 5,000 lives.
To make matters worse, it seems the Slow Horses have been duped by one of their own following a suspected breach in their system.
Viewers have already rushed to the comments section to express their excitement about the captivating trailer, which features Emmy Award nominee Jack Lowden, Saskia Reeves, Rosalind Eleazar, Christopher Chung, Aimee-Ffion Edwards, Ruth Bradley, James Callis, Tom Brooke, and Academy Award nominee Jonathan Pryce.
One viewer gushed: “One of the best shows ever created,” whilst another enthused: “Oh that’s cheered me up.”
A third remarked: “I have to watch this,” and a fourth declared: “This show made me fall in love with the quality of Apple Tv. Never gonna leave Apple TV.”
The fifth series will also feature Ted Lasso star Nick Mohammed making a special guest appearance.
Reviewers praised it as “undoubtedly the best spy series on television,” describing it as a “truly epic espionage thriller” that is “utterly brilliant”.
Slow Horses launches in September with the opening episode, then continues with weekly instalments until October 29.
The sixth and seventh series of the darkly comic espionage drama have already been confirmed.
Slow Horses season 5 will debut on Apple TV+ on Wednesday, September 24.
