According to the official logline, the new season will find Jackson Lamb, played by Gary, and Diana Taverner, played by Kristin Scott Thomas, facing off in their “most explosive confrontation yet.”

After an attempt to blackmail the Park goes wrong, Diana goes on the offensive and Jackson must uncover one of MI5’s darkest secrets.

“Slow Horses continues to charm audiences all around the world and I’m delighted that Jackson Lamb and his gang of lovable misfits will be back for an eighth season. Their acerbic take on the high-octane world of espionage is completely unique,” Apple TV’s Jay Hunt said in a statement.
