Alongside Oldman, the series also stars Kristin Scott Thomas, Jack Lowden, Saskia Reeves, Rosalind Eleazar, Christopher Chung, Aimee-Ffion Edwards, Ruth Bradley, James Callis, Hiba Bennani, Tom Brooke, and Jonathan Pryce, along with Nick Mohammed joining the ranks, which you’ll see….

Slow Horses streams with the first episode, followed by one new episode weekly, every Wednesday through October 29, on Apple TV+
