Season 3 of Apple’s acclaimed spy drama Slow Horses returns this week, so when can you watch Episode 1?

Slow Horses is one of the most popular shows on Apple, regularly topping TV charts on the streamer. Based on a series of books by Mick Herron – and focussing on government agents working from a building called ‘Slough House’ – the series stars Gary Oldman, Kristin Scott Thomas, and Jack Lowden.

Apples describes the show as a “darkly funny espionage drama that follows a team of British intelligence agents who serve in a dumping ground department of MI5 due to their career-ending mistakes.”

Series 1 dropped in April 2022 and Series 2 in December of that year, while Series 3 arrives this week, with full streaming details below.
