"I was just hoping and praying I'd come back," the actress tells TheWrap of the Apple spy drama The post ‘Slow Horses’ Star Olivia Cooke Breaks Down Sid and River’s Action-Packed Reunion: ‘Unlike Any Job I’ve Had Before’ appeared first on TheWrap .
Olivia Cooke, who portrayed Sid Baker in "Slow Horses," has revealed that she was thrilled to return to the series for Season 6. The actress had no idea if she would ever reprise her role, but she was delighted to learn that her character would make a return in the Season 6 adaptation of Mick Herron's "Slough House." Cooke's decision to join the show was influenced by its unique, unpolished take on the spy genre, which she found refreshing compared to other British crime thrillers.
Her character, Sidonie "Sid" Baker, had previously been introduced as River Cartwright's (Jack Lowden) only real friend in Slough House, and their sarcastic banter contributed to the show's signature humor. Cooke shot all of her scenes for Season 1 back in 2020, before the novel that brought Sid back was published. She was hopeful that her character would return and was glad when it happened, stating that their chemistry feels "like no time had passed" and that the show felt like an independent film set in a "guerilla style" environment.
