Slow Horses season 6 plot developments and season 7 news

Overview

Apple TV+ premiered the sixth season of the espionage drama ‘Slow Horses’ on September 16, 2026. This installment adapts Mick Herron’s novels ‘Joe Country’ and ‘Slough House’, following MI5 agents from Slough House as they go on the run following a mysterious erasure from the MI5 archives. The season features the return of Olivia Cooke as Sid Baker and Hugo Weaving as Frank Harkness. Following the deaths of former MI5 head David Cartwright and former members Struan Loy and Kay White, the investigation into these fatalities intensifies.

In the third episode, ‘Resurrection’, it is revealed that Sid Baker is alive, having been presumed dead since the first season. During this episode, agents Shirley, Catherine, and Louisa rescue Moira Tregorian after a failed assassination attempt by Jim and Jane. Louisa Guy also returns to Slough House after working in the corporate sector. As the conspiracy expands, Jackson Lamb and Roddy investigate Reece Nesmith, uncovering links to stolen MI5 files and political fallout involving Diana Taverner.

The fourth episode, ‘Lost and Found’, sees Lamb initiate the ‘Blake’s Grave’ protocol after discovering stolen files. During a confrontation with GRU-affiliated assassins Jim and Jane, J.K. Coe engages in a fatal knife fight with Jim, resulting in Coe’s apparent death and the abduction of Sid Baker.

The season concludes with the fifth episode, ‘Sayonara’, and the finale, ‘Judgment Day’. The finale features an attack by Frank Harkness on Diana Taverner’s refuge and the death of Emma Flyte, a major turning point for Roddy Ho. The season ends with River Cartwright appearing to be poisoned by a nerve agent, likely Novichok, after contact with a contaminated crowbar, leaving his future uncertain. Following the season's success, Apple TV has renewed the series for seasons 7 and 8.
