Apple teases 'Slow Horses' season 5 first look and a 'Ted Lasso' star joins the cast
Are we about to get a "Slow Horses" season 5 and "Ted Lasso" crossover episode? Probably not, but Apple did just announce that one member of the AFC Richmond team will be a guest star in the upcoming season of the hit Apple TV Plus British spy thriller. In a press release, the tech giant's streaming service revealed that Nick Mohammed will be joining "Slow Horses" season 5 in an unknown guest starring role. This came alongside a release date announcement that confirmed a Wednesday, September 24 release date for season 5. I'm very curious to see what role Mohammed will play in the upcoming season of what's frankly been the best show on TV over the past several years. In "Ted Lasso," he showed the ability to play the good guy and the villain, and I wouldn't be surprised to see him go in either direction. Whatever role he plays, though, it'll likely only be a brief appearance. That doesn't mean it won't be impactful, but the fact that he's listed as a "special guest star" indicates it won't be a regular role this season — though he could feature in future installments. A recent example of this is Kaitlyn Dever in "The Last of Us" season 2, who was a guest star and made a huge impact on the show, but only appeared in a handful of scenes across three episodes. Yet, Dever will play a bigger role in "The Last of Us" season 3. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Alongside the release date and casting announcement, we also got a first look at Gary Oldman as Jackson Lamb in season 5. Lamb will, unsurprisingly, lead "Slow Horses" season 5, which is an adaptation of Mick Herron's fifth novel in the "Slough House" series, "London Rules." 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." 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. Here's what he's been watching lately:

Bryce Dallas Howard leads improv comics undercover in film 'Deep Cover'
LONDON, June 4 (Reuters) - "Jurassic World" actor Bryce Dallas Howard takes on London's criminal underworld in action comedy "Deep Cover," playing an improv teacher who goes undercover. The American stars as Kat, who along with her two students Marlon and Hugh, played by Orlando Bloom and Nick Mohammed, respectively, are recruited by a police cop to infiltrate a criminal gang. Never breaking character and sticking to their "yes and..." improv comedy rule, the trio soon find themselves inside London's threatening gangland. "The script was so tight, so fun and of course I related to it, being an actor myself," Howard told Reuters at the film's world premiere at the SXSW London festival on Wednesday. 'There was lots of giggling and lots of laughing," she added about making the movie. Released on Prime Video on June 12, "Deep Cover" sees Bloom, who shot to fame in "The Lord of the Rings" movies, play a committed method actor. "Ted Lasso" actor Mohammed portrays a lonely worker drawn to Kat's classes to gain confidence. "There are quite a lot of scenes ... that were just done in one take ... because you just need to have all of that energy ... pinging around between them (Howard, Bloom) and Mohammed," director Tom Kingsley said. "And they're all playing different characters to what you would normally expect." Asked if he tried to make Howard and Bloom laugh on set given his comedy background, Mohammed said: "I would play around a little bit ... changing some of the lines every so often. But ... they were just up for it." Apple TV+ has announced a fourth season of Emmy-winning comedy series "Ted Lasso," in which Jason Sudeikis played the American coach of upstart British football team AFC Richmond and Mohammed portrayed kitman-turned-coach Nate Shelley. Asked what he could say about season four, in which Lasso will coach a women's football team, Mohammed said: "I only know what's in the press at the moment ... I can't wait to see it. Who knows if Nate's in it ... we will see.' The inaugural SXSW London, the European edition of the annual Austin, Texas, South by Southwest music, technology and film festival, runs June 2-7.

Celebrity Traitors star spills on 'brutal' filming and cast's biggest challenge
Celebrity Traitors is set to see a host of famous faces, including Clare Balding, Kate Garraway, Nick Mohammed, Charlotte Church and Tameka Empson, play the game A contestant from the upcoming Celebrity Traitors has admitted that the experience was "brutal". They opened up about the Traitors spin-off following the line-up being confirmed after production began on the reality TV show. Clare Balding, 54, said she found the BBC show "challenging" as it meant her friendships with co-stars like former Olympic diver Tom Daley went "out the window". They are among the 19 celebrities who have taken part in the first series. Speaking candidly at the Goodwoof event while promoting her new novel Pastures New, Clare admitted: "It is so intense, and you get completely obsessed with the game." Teasing friendships don't always hold up amidst the gameplay, she said: "Obviously, I knew quite a lot of them before I went in, but the friendships you had before go out the window!" The broadcaster continued: "That, for me, is very challenging because I like to be friends with everybody! It's brutal, but I think I'm glad I did it. It will make good television, and there are some really strong moments." Clare and other celebrities, like presenter Stephen Fry, actor Celia Imrie, comedian Nick Mohammed and singer Charlotte Church, will be seen playing the beloved game at Ardross Castle in the Scottish Highlands. On the show, hosted by Claudia Winkleman, they will compete to win a cash prize of up to £100,000 for a charity of their choice. Praising Nick, she revealed: "There are some people who are so clever. I mean, Nick Mohammed from Ted Lasso, he can solve problems and puzzles in like four and a half seconds. He's amazing." Crufts presenter Clare also shared her delight over spending time with other contestants during the filming of Celebrity Traitors. She gushed: "It was lovely to get more time to hang out with people like Stephen Fry, Celia Imrie, Charlotte Church, who's an absolute superstar, and a really cool young singer called Cat Burns - I would not have met her and Ruth Cobb, who's an actress, in any other situation, and I loved that. Yeah, it was great fun." The line-up for Celebrity Traitors was announced earlier this month. Clare, Tom, Stephen, Celia, Charlotte, Cat and Ruth are among the 19 celebrities who are involved in the spin-off, which is set to be broadcast by the BBC later this year. Comedian Alan Carr, filmmaker David Olusoga and former rugby union player Joe Marler will also compete. Other celebrities in the line-up for the show include comedian Joe Wilkinson, presenters Jonathan Ross and Kate Garraway. They will compete against the likes of comedian Lucy Beaumont and actor Mark Bonnar, too. Content creator Niko Omilana, singer-songwriter Paloma Faith and EastEnders star Tameka Empson are also in the line-up. Host Claudia commented: "We're incredibly lucky these brilliant people have said yes. I'd love to say we'll take it easy on them and they'll just wander round the castle and eat toast for a couple of weeks but that would be a lie." Celebrity Traitors is scheduled to air in the autumn on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.

Celebrity Traitors star lifts lid on ‘intense' and ‘brutal' series – and lets slip which celeb is the smartest
SPORTS presenter Clare Balding says Celebrity Traitors saw the stars' friendships abandoned when they came together to take part in the BBC challenge show. She is one of 19 famous faces who've just finished filming the spin-off series at Ardross Castle in the Scottish Highland for BBC One with Claudia Winkleman returning to host. And although many of the celebs had become quite pally over doing various shows and events together over the years, the long-standing loyalties counted for nothing. Talking at the Goodwoof event this week, Clare said: 'It is so intense, and you get completely obsessed with the game. "Obviously I knew quite a lot of them before I went in, but the friendships you had before go out the window! 'That, for me, is very challenging because I like to be friends with everybody! It's brutal, but I think I'm glad I did it. It will make good television and there are some really strong moments.' Clare was keeping quiet about whether she was a traitor or a faithful, and would only let slip one thing about one of her fellow competitors. She said: 'There are some people who are so clever. I mean, Nick Mohammed from Ted Lasso, he can solve problems and puzzles in like four and a half seconds. He's amazing. 'It was lovely to get more time to hang out with people like Stephen Fry, Celia Imrie, Charlotte Church who's an absolute superstar, and a really cool young singer called Cat Burns - I would not have met her and Ruth Cobb who's an actress in any other situation, and I loved that. 'Yeah it was great fun.' Clare also admitted that one of the main reasons she agreed to take part was because she was such a fan of The Traitors, which is currently filming its fourth 'civilian' series. She said: 'I wanted to do it because I wanted to experience the show, and I was really lucky they said yes to letting me. I think I was one of the first ones signed up actually, me and Stephen Fry.' Claudia Winkleman reveals BBC bosses have slapped her with a big rule ahead of first ever Celebrity Traitors Clare added: 'I wasn't even allowed to say I'd done Celebrity Traitors until they made the big announcement last week, and I certainly can't talk about any of the detail.' GARETH IN TIGHT SQUEEZE 7 GARETH MALONE will have no trouble hitting the high notes in the dangerously tight outfit he squeezes into for The Horne Section TV Show. The choirmaster makes a cameo appearance in the new series of the sitcom, which kicks off tonight on Channel 4. He stars alongside Taskmaster 's Alex Horne, who plays himself as a host of his own late-night chat show alongside his band, The Horne Section. Alex says the series involves 'six men who are nearly 50 years old, who should know better, but have been given a TV show, so we're mucking around, trying to make each other laugh'. Also taking part in the chaos are Ghosts star Kiell Smith- Bynoe and impressionist Ronni Ancona. Alex adds: 'It's really childish, it's very silly. We're just going to have a laugh.' Gareth's clearly on board with that mantra, too. GAVIN & Stacey star Rob Brydon plays divorcee Bill Beam, who staves off financial ruin by renting his spare rooms to students in a new show – Bill's Included. It's one of several new comedies announced by the Beeb which include Reluctant Vampire starring Bafta winner Lenny Rush. NAGA: I'M TROLLS' TARGET BBC Breakfast host Naga Munchetty has revealed that trolls love to have a pop at her appearance. She said: 'The number of times I've had comments like, 'You shouldn't be wearing that dress, you've got a bit of a belly'. 'People are quite happy to comment on social media. 'I'm very happy with my body. I'm fit, I'm strong, but women have bellies.' She added to Gabby Logan on her The Mid-Point podcast: 'You get a lot of nice comments, but women are expected to portray a certain aesthetic. 'And when you dress for news you have to be mindful that what you wear cannot be distracting. 'Women are more highly criticised and noticed.' GLAM LIZ IS A DEAD ZINGER 7 WHAT better way to exhume your career than in a coffin. That seems to be the motto of Liz Hurley who has just been announced as the leading lady on new Channel 4 show The Inheritance. The Austin Powers actress is being joined by Rob Rinder on the upcoming reality series, which sees 13 strangers summoned to a grand stately home. They have to compete for a chunk of the fortune left in the will of The Deceased, a rather glamorous woman, played, naturally, by our Liz. Rob plays her executor and legal counsel – which is understandable given he is a trained barrister and erstwhile Judge Rinder. He said: 'As The Executor I enforce the rules, keep the chaos in check – more or less – and make sure our players are deserving of every glittering penny left by our dearly departed deceased.' The show will air this autumn. TANYA'S BUNCH HUNCH THERE could well be a second series of The Bardsley Bunch – if Tanya Bardsley gets her way. The former Real Housewives Of Cheshire star reckons fans are chomping at the bit for a sequel to the reality show that focuses on her, hubby Phil, a former footballer, and their children. The mum of four said: 'It resonates with people because there's no filter with us. I've not had one bad comment. 'Kids can be little t****rs no matter how much you dress them up, but all the mums out there understand that. 'We're having talks about series two with ITV soon. No one else would employ me, so what else am I going to do? 'I got sacked when I was a cleaner, so this will be it!' SURANNE SHOW IS SPELLBINDING SURANNE JONES is to star in a TV drama about witchcraft – having becoming obsessed with the subject after making a documentary about the phenomenon. The Gentleman Jack actress has paired up with the production team behind Disney historical thriller series A Thousand Blows and Bafta-winning Sky comedy Mr Bigstuff. Suranne and her husband, producer Laurence Akers, are both fascinated by the supernatural and were spurred on to make the show after co-creating last summer's Channel 4 documentary, Investigating Witch Trials. The drama is in its early stages but is expected to go into production within months. Though they have yet to attach it to a channel, the creators say the biggest hurdle is financing it. Tom Miller, of production firm Water and Power, told the British Television Society: 'We're currently developing a TV drama with Suranne and Laurence about witchcraft. 'Increasingly, as we build a reputation, we get sent books and scripts, though developing them can be expensive. 'We don't have backers — we're completely independent — so we have to bear development costs.' Two-parter Investigating Witch Trials saw Suranne exploring the stories behind the infamous 17th century prosecutions for witchcraft. She delved into the myths surrounding sorcery while exploring the historic witch trials and the super-natural in England, America and beyond. And she also exposed how age-old prejudices still affect women today. She said: 'For as long as I can remember, I've been intrigued by the idea of witches. I would love to be cast as a witch. 'When I was younger I didn't gravitate towards princesses, I loved fairy tales and folklore. 'But I loved witches and the wild women who got their hands dirty.' I'd roll your sleeves up now, Suranne — you'll have channels and streamers banging on your door for this drama.
