Fans of the Apple TV+ dark comedy/spy drama Slow Horses are used to the series characters’ being slightly quirky. Ahead of the Season 5 premiere, executive producer Doug Urbanski recently talked about what fans can expect from the upcoming installment.
«Season 5 is centered around Roddy Ho (played by Christopher Chung), who is sort of our least serious character,» Urbanski told Gold Derby. «You’re going to find a shifting of gears in terms of tone for the first two or three episodes, and then, the last three episodes are actually quite cinematic. You have quite a bit of fun with the chase that ensues.» He also referred to the new season as «the most fun and most silly» yet.
Slow Horses, which premiered in 2022, follows a team of dysfunctional British intelligence agents in the MI5 department known as Slough House. Oscar-winner Oldman leads the group of spies in the series based on the Slough House books by Mick Herron. Urbanski, who also executive-produced Oldman’s 2011 film Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, also touched on the show’s previous four seasons.
«We called Season 1 The Bourne Identity season. It had that sort of energy,» Urbanski said. «Season 2 was more like Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. That was about bad guy Russians trying to kill Papa Cartwright (Jonathan Pryce) and Jackson. Season 3 was the sort of the ‘Hitchcock’ and ‘MacGuffin’ season. They were all looking for the file. Then, in Season 4, the bad guys wanted to kill Papa Cartwright and Lamb again,» he said.
One Character WIll Take Center Stage In Season 5
Chung talked about his character’s arc for Season 5 in a previous interview with The Radio Times. «[In] Season 5, he becomes a little bit louder and a little bit more self-assured, even more so than he already is, but I think you’ll be in for a bit of a surprise. [I] might throw a few dance moves here and there,» he said.
«In Season 5 of Slow Horses, everyone is suspicious when resident tech nerd, Roddy Ho, has a glamorous new girlfriend, but when a series of increasingly bizarre events occur across the city, it falls to the Slow Horses to work out how everything is connected. After all, Jackson Lamb knows that in the world of espionage, ‘London Rules’ should always apply,» the official synopsis for Slow Horses Season 5 of reads.
When Season 5 premieres, a new guest star will be featured. Ted Lasso’s Emmy-nominated Nick Mohammed will be a key guest star in the upcoming Slow Horses episodes. The fifth season will be based on Mick Herron’s novel London Rules, which was published in 2018.
