Breaking Baz: Gary Oldman On How ‘Slow Horses’ Picked Up Speed To Score Its Emmy Nominations
deadline.comEXCLUSIVE: Gary Oldman says that that the nine Emmy nominations, including for Outstanding Drama Series, received by the wry spy drama Slow Horses “puts an added boost and a spotlight on the show.” Slow Horses first trotted onto Apple TV+ in April 2022, gathering audiences as it cantered into second and third seasons.
Now it’s galloping into a fourth season launching September 4. A fifth season is in its final weeks of shooting in London, and there are strong hints of Slow Horses returning for a sixth series that would go before cameras later in the year.
Seasons seven and eight are also at the starting gate, though obviously in very early stages of preparation. The series’ Oscar-winning star Oldman was recognized in the Lead Actor In A Drama category for his sly turn as shambolic-looking British intelligence officer Jackson Lamb for the third season of the show, which debuted last November. “It’s like the little show that could,” he marvels. “I run into people saying, ‘Oh my god, we love the show.
When’s it coming back?’ And I say, ‘Well, Season 4 drops in September and we’re filming Season 5 right now.’ You leave them happy and they come back.” RELATED: Emmy Winners For Best Drama Since 1960: A Photo Gallery Slow Horses is based on a series of acclaimed novels by Mick Herron.
