'Slow Horses' season 5 release date just confirmed — here's when it returns to Apple TV Plus
"Slow Horses" season 5 just got its Apple TV Plus release date.
TVLine is reporting that season 5 will premiere on Apple's streaming service on Wednesday, Sept. 24, with a two-episode premiere.
Now, it's important to note that this is not an official announcement from Apple. But TVLine is considered a reputable outlet, and we have no reason to suspect that their reporting on this release date is inaccurate.
Especially since I already had some suspicions that season 5 would arrive in September.
When Apple revealed its slate of Apple TV Plus Summer 2025 shows and movies, Slow Horses made an appearance in the YouTube teaser trailer.
Given that, outside of season 1, "Slow Horses" has always debuted in or just outside of the fall season, I assumed that a summer 2025 release window implied an early September release date, given summer doesn't end until September 21 this year.
I was close! Last year, season 4 debuted on September 4, 2024, which was still technically in the summer. So with that reference point, I guessed that season 5 would come on Wednesday, September 3.

I got the Wednesday part right and the September part right. I was just a few weeks early on the exact date.
Season 5 of "Slow Horses" is an adaptation of "London Rules," Mick Herron's fifth novel in the "Slough House" series. It's the direct sequel to "Spook Street," which was the basis for "Slow Horses" season 4.
Apple's official synopsis reads: "In season 5 of 'Slow Horses,' 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. After all, Jackson Lamb knows that in the world of espionage, 'London Rules' should always apply."
Based on that synopsis and the season 5 teaser trailer above, we know Ho and Lamb will be in the spotlight in season 5. And the last thing you want when you're a spy is to be in the spotlight.
Malcolm has been with Tom's Guide since 2022, and has been covering the latest in streaming shows and movies since 2023. He's not one to shy away from a hot take, including that "John Wick" is one of the four greatest films ever made.

Should Boston Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla worry about Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau's firing?
Should Boston Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla be worried about the firing of New York Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau? The Knicks front office recently came to the decision that it was time to move on from Thibs despite the former Boston assistant coach having gotten New York farther than they have been in the playoffs for the last quarter-century. Mazzulla, for his part, saw his Celtics fall to the Knicks on their way to the 2025 NBA Eastern Conference Finals series many assumed Boston was a shoo-in to make at the start of the postseason. If the now-former Knicks coach is not safe, does that mean Mazzulla could also be at risk of losing his job? Or is this move by New York more indicative of their internal culture and lack of patience, and less of the league more generally? Advertisement The folks behind the "NESN" YouTube channel put together a clip from their "Boston has Entered the Chat" show to talk it over. Take a look at the clip embedded below to hear what they had to say. This article originally appeared on Celtics Wire: Should Joe Mazzulla worry about Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau's firing?

Bodies of husband and wife taken into Gaza by Hamas recovered after special operation by Israeli forces
The bodies of a couple taken into Gaza by Hamas during the 7 October attacks have been recovered by Israeli forces, the country's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has announced. He said the bodies of husband and wife Judi Weinstein Haggai, 70, and Gad Haggai, 72, were recovered during a special operation by the Israeli military and the country's security agency, Shin Bet. Mr Netanyahu said they were killed on 7 October, 2023, and their bodies taken into Gaza by Hamas. In a statement, he said: "Together with all the citizens of Israel, my wife and I extend our heartfelt condolences to the dear families. "Our hearts ache for the most terrible loss. May their memory be blessed. "We will not rest or be silent until we return all of our abductees home - the living and the dead alike." The Hostages and Missing Persons Families Forum has been campaigning for the safe return of all Israeli citizens held hostage by Hamas. The hostage families said in a statement: "The return of Judi and Gad is painful and heartbreaking, yet it also brings healing to our uncertainty. "Their return reminds us all that it is the state's duty to bring everyone home, so that we, the families, together with all the people of Israel, can begin the process of healing and recovery. "Decision-makers must do everything necessary to reach an agreement that will return all 56 remaining hostages - the living for rehabilitation and the deceased for burial. There is no need to wait another 608 agonising days for this. "The mission can be completed as early as tomorrow morning. This is what the majority of the Israeli people want." Most of the hostages returned alive to Israel so far have been released as part of deals with Hamas during two temporary ceasefires in late 2023 and early 2025. The most recent ceasefire that saw a pause in the fighting and the exchange of Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners fell apart in March. Israel has rejected calls for an unconditional or permanent ceasefire, saying Hamas cannot stay in Gaza. Read more from Sky News: On Wednesday, the US vetoed a draft UN Security Council resolution that demanded an "immediate, unconditional and permanent ceasefire" between Israel and Hamas militants in Gaza and unhindered aid access across the the war-ravaged territory. The other 14 countries on the council voted in favor of the draft. "The United States has been clear: We would not support any measure that fails to condemn Hamas and does not call for Hamas to disarm and leave Gaza," said Dorothy Shea, acting US ambassador to the UN, ahead of the vote. She told the council it would also undermine US-led efforts to broker a ceasefire. This breaking news story is being updated and more details will be published shortly.
