Gary Oldman returns as Lamb, the brilliant and rude leader of Slough House, the purgatory division of MI5. According to Lamb, people are sent to Slough House if they’re an “absolute loser” or they’ve “unwillingly pissed someone off.” Slough House agents are tasked with mundane administrative assignments. However, Lamb’s team continuously finds themselves in dire situations with life-and-death consequences.

Slow Horses’ returning cast includes Kristin Scott Thomas as Diana Taverner, Jack Lowden as River Cartwright, Saskia Reeves as Catherine Standish, Rosalind Eleazar as Louisa Guy, Christopher Chung as Roddy Ho, Aimee-Ffion Edwards as Shirley Dander, Kadiff Kirwan as Marcus Longridge, and Jonathan Pryce as David Cartwright.

Hugo Weaving, Joanna Scanlan, Ruth Bradley, Tom Brooke, and James Callis are joining the BAFTA-winning espionage series in season 4.
