Hugo Weaving Joins Gary Oldman in SLOW HORSES Season 4
Hugo Weaving (The Lord of the Rings, The Matrix) is set to join Gary Oldman in the Apple TV+ spy drama series Slow Horses. Other new cast members include Joanna Scanlan (Notes on a Scandal), Ruth Bradley (Guilt), Tom Brooke (Empire of Light), and James Callis (Battlestar Galactica).
The series follows a dysfunctional team of British intelligence agents who serve in a dumping ground department of MI5 known un-affectionately as Slough House. Oldman stars as Jackson Lamb, “the brilliant but irascible leader of the spies, who end up in Slough House due to their career-ending mistakes as they frequently find themselves blundering around the smoke and mirrors of the espionage world.”
Adam Randall (I See You) is directing the fourth season, which will “open with a bombing that detonates personal secrets, rocking the already unstable foundations of Slough House.”
The returning Slow Horses ensemble cast includes Kristin Scott Thomas, Jack Lowden, Saskia Reeves, Rosalind Eleazar, Christopher Chung, Freddie Fox, Chris Reilly, Samuel West, Sophie Okonedo, Aimee-Ffion Edwards, Kadiff Kirwan and Jonathan Pryce.
Apple committed to Seasons 3 and 4 even before Season 2 had aired. Season 2 debuted last December and Seasons 3 and 4 have been shot back to back.
This show is so good and Weaving is going to make an awesome addition to the series.
