Based on Mick Herron’s book of the same name, Slow Horses follows a dysfunctional team of MI5 agents — and their obnoxious boss, the notorious Jackson Lamb (played by Gary Oldman). After making career-ending mistakes and being demoted to Slough House, they navigate the espionage world’s smoke and mirrors to defend England from sinister forces.
Jonathan Pryce, Kristin Scott Thomas, Jack Lowden, Saskia Reeves, Rosalind Eleazar, Christopher Chung and Freddie Fox also star in the series.
The third season titled “Real Tigers,” will see Lamb and his team get back to cracking another case when Catherine Standish (Reeves) goes missing.
