Behind the Scenes: Sharp editing gets the best from Slow Horses

The misfits of British intelligence return for a fourth outing with Robert Frost in the editor’s chair.

Mixing espionage intrigue with whip-smart humour, Slow Horses from AppleTV+ has burned through four seasons since 2022,  with Season 5 already shot and a sixth hotly rumoured. Adapted from author Mick Herron’s award-winning novels by See-Saw Films and screenwriter Will Smith, the drama revolves around a group of British spy misfits under the notional command of washed-up MI5 chief Jackson Lamb (Gary Oldman) who somehow manages to get mixed up in plots that endanger state security. Also starring in Season 4, adapted from Herron’s novel Spook Street, are Kristin Scott Thomas, Jack Lowden, Olivia Cooke, Rosalind Eleazar, Jonathan Pryce and Hugo Weaving.
