‘Slow Horses' season 5 has an official release date – and a first look at Jackson Lamb
An Apple TV+ show that only gets better and better, Slow Horses is returning for a fifth run this autumn. September 24 is the date to earmark for the return of Gary Oldman's schlebby spymaster Jackson Lamb and his band of misfit heroes at Slough House.
The first two episodes will launch on that day, with the final four to follow once a week every Wednesday until October 22.
Season five is adapted from Mick Herron's 2018 Slough House novel London Rules and sees Ted Lasso star Nick Mohammed join the ensemble as an ambitious mayoral candidate.
'In season five, everyone is suspicious when resident tech nerd Roddy Ho has a glamorous new girlfriend, but when a series of increasingly bizarre events occur across the city, it falls to the Slow Horses to work out how everything is connected,' runs the official synopsis. 'After all, Lamb knows that in the world of espionage, the London Rules – cover your back – always apply.'
Clocking back in for another shift under the critical eye of Jackson Lamb are Jack Lowden's once fast-tracked agent River Cartwright, Saskia Reeves as long-suffering Slough House stalwart Catherine Standish, Rosalind Eleazar as recovering coke addict Louisa Guy, and Christopher Chung as obnoxious hacker/IT whiz Roddy Ho.
Kristin Scott Thomas is back as scheming MI5 deputy director general Diana Taverner and James Callis is the hapless agency head she has wrapped around her little finger. Jonathan Pryce is back as River's ex-spy dad David Cartwright.
Expect more grimily realistic London locations, more blackly comic twists and byzantine espionage scheming as Lamb and his Slough House acolytes butt up against the slick technocrats of MI5 and a variety of other nefarious forces.

9 of the most disgusting body horrors you need to watch after Together
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Dave Franco and Alison Brie's body horror film Together has been lauded as 'squirm-inducing' and 'disgusting' by critics. Set for release on August 15, it follows dysfunctional couple Tim (Franco) and Millie (Brie), who find themselves stuck in a rut and questioning their relationship when they move to a remote countryside home. As they contemplate the prospect of going their separate ways, an encounter with a sinister entity changes their lives – and flesh – forever. Together has earned rave reviews from critics, garnering an impressive 89% score on Rotten Tomatoes. It joins the ranks of widely-praised 2025 releases in the horror genre, including chilling vampire remake Nosferatu, Ryan Coogler's acclaimed Sinners, and the terrifying Bring Her Back. Horror has long utilised the real-life anxieties we have surrounding our bodies, from everyday anatomy changes to the fear of disease and death. For those heading to the cinemas this weekend to witness the ooey, gooey glory of Together, we have rounded up some of the most disgusting body horror films you can stream right now – from 80s classics to controversial modern releases. Before winning the hearts of audiences across the world in Jurassic Park, Jeff Goldblum disgusted cinemagoers in David Cronenberg's The Fly. Loosely based on George Langelaan's 1957 short story and the 1958 film of the same name, the film tells the story of eccentric scientist Seth Brundle (Goldblum) who, after one of his experiments goes wrong, slowly turns into a fly-hybrid creature. Where to watch: Disney Plus, Apple TV , Prime Video, and the Sky Store One of the most famous sci-fi horror films of all time, 1982's The Thing features some truly groundbreaking body horror and special effects. Directed by horror legend John Carpenter, it tells the story of a group of researchers in Antarctica who encounter an extra-terrestrial being that infects then assimilates its human hosts – leading to paranoia among the group as any one of them could be 'the Thing.' Where to watch: Available to rent on Prime Video, Apple TV, and the Sky Store Written and directed by Kevin Smith, Tusk was released in 2014 and centred on Wallace Bryton (Justin Long), the co-host of a viral video-mocking podcast who comes across a flyer from Howard Howe (Michael Parks) offering a room in exchange for hearing what he says to be interesting stories. After accepting the man's offer, Wallace quickly finds himself in a life-threatening situation due to Howard's obsessions with a walrus named Mr Tusk who he says saved his life. Where to watch: Prime Video, Apple TV, and the Sky Store Shinya Tsukamoto's feature debut Tetsuo: The Iron Man would go down in history as one of the most influential films to come out of Japan. It centres around an unnamed Japanese salaryman (Tomorô Taguchi) who slowly turns into a man-machine hybrid after accidentally killing a being known as The Metal Fetishist (Tsukamoto), and develops a hit-and-run victim who is undergoing a similar transformation. Where to watch: Microsoft Store The 'king of body horror' Cronenberg appears again on our list with his grim 1983 hit Videodrome. Starring James Woods, Sonja Smits, and Debbie Harry, the film follows CIVIC-TV president Max Renn (Woods) as he attempts to uncover the signal source of a broadcast showing snuff films, but as he does so, he experiences intense hallucinations that cause his grasp of reality to falter. Where to watch: Now TV, Sky Go, Prime Video, Apple TV, and the Sky Store If you loved the light body horror in Barry Keoghan's smash hit Saltburn, 1992's Society, directed by Brian Yuzna, takes us into the secret world of the elite with plenty of twists and turns. Its plot follows Beverly Hills teenager Bill Whitney (Billy Warlock) who begins to suspect that his wealthy family and friends are part of a gruesome cult for the social elite who engage in murderous orgies – but the truth, somehow, is far worse. Where to watch: Arrow via Prime Video , Shudder via Prime Video, Apple TV, and the Sky Store Jeffrey Combs, Barbara Crampton, Bruce Abbott, and David Gale all appear in Stuart Gordon's Re-Animator, a grotesque adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft's 1922 novelette. The infamous 1985 film follows medical students Herbert Wise (Combs) and Dan Cain (Abbott) who create a serum to reanimate the dead, bringing back Cain's fiancée (Crampton). Where to watch: Available to rent via Apple TV Though sci-fi body horror Invasion of the Body Snatchers first hit our screens in 1956, the 1978 remake by Philip Kaufman really kicks the scares up a notch. When Elizabeth Driscoll (Brooke Adams) complains of her husband's strange mood, her co-worker Matthew Bennell (Donald Sutherland) assumes it's marital issues, but it soon becomes clear something more is afoot when writer Jack Bellicec (Jeff Goldblum) and his wife (Veronica Cartwright) discover a mutated corpse. More Trending Where to watch: MGM+ via Prime Video, Apple TV, and the Sky Store Last year, director Tom Six said his latest film may never be released because it is 'too extreme' – and as the creator of The Human Centipede, it's easy to imagine why. The controversial film follows psychopathic surgeon Dr Josef Heiter (Dieter Laser) as he kidnaps tourists in a bid to conjoin them surgically, mouth to anus – and two similarly grotesque sequels follow with even longer centipedes to, erm, enjoy?

'Severance' fans can get free Lumon drinks at Erewhon with this secret password
Good news, innies and outies alike: Lumon Industries is buying you a juice. Well, technically Erewhon is—but only if you know the right words. Starting Friday, August 15, fans of Severance as well as fellow Emmy darling The Studio can stroll into select Erewhon locations in Los Angeles, whisper one of two show-inspired catchphrases and walk away with a complimentary cold-pressed organic juice. Consider it a rare workplace perk, no severance procedure required. The promotion celebrates a major Emmy moment for both shows. Severance, the eerie Apple TV+ drama about a company that surgically splits its employees' work and personal memories, racked up a jaw-dropping 27 nominations for season two, including Outstanding Drama Series and nine acting nods. Meanwhile, The Studio, Seth Rogen's Hollywood satire about a beleaguered movie studio and its insecure execs, landed 23 nominations, setting a record for the most acting category nods for a freshman comedy. So what's the magic phrase? For Severance, you'll need to say: 'The work is mysterious and important.' (Do say it with a touch of corporate gravitas.) For The Studio, it's: 'Thank you, Sal Saperstein.' Either one scores you a free juice—it's your call whether to pick the one you actually watch or just pretend you're in the know. The freebie is available at Erewhon's Beverly Hills, Grove, Studio City, Venice and Silver Lake outposts. No purchase necessary; you can just utter the password and bask in your freebie glory. Erewhon isn't spilling exactly which blend they're pouring, but if past collabs are any guide, expect something green, cold and approximately 500% more expensive than water.
