Apple TV renews the spy thriller “Slow Horses” for an eighth season, continuing its run following the show’s recent Emmy wins. Multiple outlets report that Apple has announced the new installment, with production on Season 8 expected to begin shortly.
Season 8 is adapted from Mick Herron’s latest source material, “Clown Town,” which is identified as the ninth book in the “Slough House” series. The renewal is described as coming hot on the heels of the show’s Emmy success, including recognition tied to directing. The outlets also note that the series stars Gary Oldman.
Coverage differs mainly in emphasis. Hollywood Reporter highlights the renewal alongside the Emmy win. Deadline and Variety provide additional production and adaptation details, specifying the “Slough House” book order and pointing to the Emmy categories and timing. New York Post frames the news more conversationally, focusing on the speed of renewals ahead of other season milestones, while still confirming the Season 8 renewal and Apple’s role.
