We Want To Knight Gary Oldman All Over Again After These Exciting Slow Horses Updates
First off, there's the fact that season five will premiere on Apple TV+ later this year. Season six, meanwhile, has already been shot, with Deadline's interview with the newly-knighted British actor claiming that the Emmy-winning spy drama has already been renewed for a seventh run.
They said that the new batch of episodes is due to begin filming in London this autumn.
HuffPost UK has contacted Apple TV+ for comment.
Sir Gary described Slow Horses as 'truly the wonderful gift that keeps on giving'. The Oscar winner enthused: 'I just adore the hell out of it, and the people. It is just such a wonderful thing really to be part of.'
'We are so sort of contaminated with the idea of the spy world being and casinos and Aston Marti's that I think it connects with people because the people in it are ordinary people who do heroic things, without any gizmos,' he added.
In an interview with BBC News last year, Sir Gary insisted that he is 'in it for the long run' and would continue playing Jackson Lamb as long as he's able.
Since it began airing in 2022, Slow Horses has become one of Apple TV+'s flagship shows, winning near-unanimous critical acclaim as well as an Emmy and several TV Baftas.
Based on the books by Mick Herron, the show also features Jack Lowden, Kristin Scott Thomas, Hugo Weaving, Jonathan Pryce and Sophie Okonedo among its current main cast.
The first four seasons of Slow Horses are now streaming on Apple TV+, with the next instalments set to premiere later this year.

Jason Momoa Praised For Historical Accuracy Of ‘Chief Of War' Ass
HONOLULU—Calling his portrayal of a Native Hawaiʻian chief 'straight out of the 1700s,' critics, scholars, and fans alike praised Chief Of War star Jason Momoa this week for the historical accuracy of his ass. 'Of all the period dramas that have come out in the past two decades, this is by far the most realistic historical ass I've seen,' said University of Hawaiʻi historian Douglas Hale, who stated that Momoa had evidently spent hundreds of hours studying 18th-century sketches, lithographs, and texts depicting and describing the asses of great warriors like Kaʻiana, whom he plays in the new Apple TV+ series. 'Normally, you expect Hollywood to take a lot of creative liberties with this type of story, so I was pleasantly surprised by how much care and research had clearly gone into authentically representing those cheeks. My hope is that Chief Of War will get a lot more people interested in studying the asses of the past.' At press time, the series was facing backlash after fans had reportedly become frustrated by the show's historically inaccurate lack of full swinging hog.

Hundreds of protesters turn up to support Irish rapper as he appears in court on terror charge
A rapper from Irish language rap group Kneecap was greeted by hundreds of supporters waving flags and holding banners as he arrived in court on Wednesday morning on a terror charge. Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, who performs as Mo Chara, has been accused of displaying a flag in support of the Lebanese group, Hezbollah who are a designated terror group in the UK. London's Metropolitan Police launched an investigation in April after a video surfaced online of Ó hAnnaidh allegedly displaying the flag during a London gig in 2024. Ó hAnnaidh has denied the charges, saying he does not support Hezbollah and called his prosecution a 'carnival of distraction' deflecting from current events in Gaza. A scrum with photographers broke out as Ó hAnnaidh arrived at London's Westminster Magistrates Court, alongside fellow bandmates Naoise O Caireallain and JJ O Dochartaigh, as crowds waved Palestinian flags and chanted loudly, 'Free Mo Chara.' Ó hAnnaidh spoke to confirm his name, date of birth and address to the court at the start of the hearing. The court heard legal arguments, with Ó hAnnaidh's defense team seeking to throw the case out, arguing it was not brought within the legal limit of six months. Judge Paul Goldspring adjourned the case until September 26, when he will give his decision. The 27-year-old left court without entering a plea, and will be required to appear at the next hearing. Leaving the courthouse, he was met with chants of 'Drop the charges now' from his supporters. The investigation was launched shortly after an appearance by the band at the California music festival, Coachella, at which they projected messages onstage about Israel's war in Gaza. On Tuesday evening, police announced public order restrictions on the protests in order to 'prevent serious disruption,' confining gatherings to a designated area outside the court. From early on Wednesday morning, crowds of protesters congregated outside the central London court. Speaking to CNN, one supporter, Mike McCusker, 62, said he had been following Kneecap since 2019. 'I've seen them a dozen times, they've always stood against oppression,' he said. Kneecap, who rap mainly in Irish, have steadily built up an international fanbase, gaining praise for their efforts to revitalize the Irish language. Formed in Belfast, Northern Ireland in 2017, the band have sought to modernize the language through their rap songs depicting their experiences growing up in the wake of a decades long sectarian conflict, the Troubles. Laden with references to drug and alcohol use and critiques of the British government, the band's music has made them no stranger to controversy over the years. In 2024, the trio released their second studio album 'Fine Art' and a self-titled semi-autobiographical feature film which won acclaim from critics and scooped up awards at both the British Independent Film Awards and the Sundance Film Festival. The band have been long-time advocates for the rights of Palestinians. Their performance at UK music festival Glastonbury in June became mired in controversy after UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer said the group should not have been allowed to perform in light of the charges faced by Ó hAnnaidh. The group are next set to play at several more European festivals this summer before a headline gig in London's Wembley Arena on September 18. CNN's Sophie Tanno contributed reporting.

Why Jack Draper stunningly left Nike for new brand before US Open
Jack Draper's rise to the top of men's tennis has seen him sport the iconic, clean look of Nike since his days as a junior up until his Wimbledon bow and historic Indian Wells Open victory. But all of that has changed last month when his Nike deal expired and not only did he switch brands, but Draper took the decision to enter the unknown as the face of Vuori's venture into tennis. Draper has been a trend-setter and has found his career entwined with fashion, notably through his deal with Burberry and a recent campaign alongside model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, while Vogue's global editor Anna Wintour is a fan. Enter Vuori and the latest opportunity for a tennis player to pursue one of the non-traditional brands of the sport, with the apparel brand based in California identifying the world No 5 as the face of their new tennis line. 'You're used to seeing yourself a certain way, and now other people are seeing you differently, too,' Draper said, with the launch off to a fine start in the controversial US Open mixed doubles and a place in the final four on Wednesday. 'That sort of makes them curious: 'What's this brand?'' Draper unveiled his new look at the US Open in the mixed doubles on Tuesday, partnering up with Jessica Pegula, and the No 1 seeds, due to their combined singles rankings, swept into the semi-finals, with victories over Carlos Alcaraz and Emma Raducanu first, then Daniil Medvedev and Mirra Andreeva in the quarter-finals. Draper will even have his own signature line in a deal that Joe Kudla, Vuori's founder and chief executive, has described as a 'fairy-tale dream.' From an athleisure brand to leading apparel for one of the best athletes in the world, Vuori appealed to Draper due to their 'creativity'. Draper explained: 'I think there's a real creative element to what they do. And I've always been someone who likes to have my own style, who likes to be my own person. It is quite an essential part of an athlete's journey, because it's our kit.' While Nike still retain some of the best players in the world, including Jannik Sinner, Alcaraz and Aryna Sabalenka, Draper's move is in line with players pushing for greater commercial flexibility and he could also pursue campaigns that are more closely aligned with his own personal brand and style, which have become so distinctive in recent years. The deal was helped by Draper's brother, Ben, who was familiar with the brand, who will offer the 23-year-old full access to designers and developers to shape his look for years to come. 'I think a lot of people, especially in the U.K. market, they don't hear a lot about them,' Draper added. 'That's the thing with Vuori. It's something different that people haven't seen before.' Draper is the latest in a trend of players leaving the swoosh, with Taylor Fritz partnering up with BOSS and Frances Tiafoe linking up with Lululemon. The landscape has changed over the last decade in tennis, with more brands breaking into the industry, including Roger Federer and his venture with On, who sponsor Ben Shelton and Iga Swiatek, following a $50m investment for a three percent equity stake in the company in 2019.
