The Apple TV+ spy drama series Slow Horses starring Gary Oldman has added Olivia Cooke (Bates Motel, Ready Player One) and Jonathan Pryce (Glengarry Glen Ross, The Wife, The Two Popes) to its cast. They also join Kristin Scott Thomas and Jack Lowden in the cast.

Deadline describes the story and characters as follows:

Oscar winner Oldman stars as Jackson Lamb, a brilliant but irascible leader of a group of spies who end up in MI5’s Slough House, having been exiled from the mainstream for their mistakes.

Scott Thomas features as Diana Taverner, a formidable high-ranker at MI5, while Lowden is on board as River Cartwright, a talented agent who is desperate to claw his way up and out of Slough House.

Pryce, the Oscar nominee who recently was cast as Prince Philip in The Crown, will play David Cartwright, River’s grandfather and a retired MI5 agent. Finally, Cooke is Sid Baker, a sharp agent and River’s officemate.

The series is shooting 12 episodes now in the UK, and although not confirmed, the report assumes that the 12 episodes will be broken up into two seasons. I guess we will have to wait and see. This is a great cast, so I am looking forward to seeing what the series looks like. Does this sound like a series you’ll be interested in?
