Slow Horses concludes Season 6 with a finale that resolves major loose ends while also delivering a “shocking” ending and a major cliffhanger. Multiple outlets say the episode features a high-stakes situation that the team must escape, alongside consequences that include a tragic death.

Showrunner Gaby Chiappe is a central source in the coverage, with 9to5Mac and /Film reporting interviews that explain the finale’s shock and what happens in the last moments. /Film also frames its discussion around how the series’ cliffhanger differs from the books, while IGN highlights that the season finale ties things up even if it leans on familiar storytelling beats.

Several outlets focus more directly on whether a character is dead and how the outcome aligns with the book, including Forbes and the New York Post, which repeatedly leads with spoiler-heavy queries about the character’s fate. Meanwhile, 9to5Mac also points readers to an announced Season 7 trailer, expanding the coverage beyond the ending itself.
