Slow Horses jumps ahead with Season 8 renewal
The Apple TV spy series won last night's Emmy for Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series.
Slow Horses finds renewed life with Apple TV's Season 8 renewal, despite only one win at the prestigious 78th Annual Emmy Awards. The British espionage series, starring Gary Oldman as the bumbling secret agent Jackson Lamb, garnered a win for series director Saul Metzstein amidst a night dominated by the drama series Widow's Bay. Despite losing in several categories, including Best Drama Series for the show itself, Slow Horses can now breathe a sigh of relief knowing their jobs are secure for at least another year.
Their eighth season will adapt Mick Herron's novel Clown Town, promising fans Jackson Lamb and Diana Taverner's most explosive confrontation yet. In this gripping narrative, Lamb must unravel one of MI5's darkest secrets to put an end to the situation once and for all. Premiering tomorrow, the series has already begun its sixth season, thanks to the departure of creator Will Smith, who has been succeeded by showrunner Gaby Chiappe and Ben Vanstone.
With the greenlight for the upcoming Season 8, Oldman is set to continue his role as the perennial Emmy nominee in the lead.
