Photo courtesy of Apple TV+ June 3 (UPI) -- Apple TV+ released a first-look photo from Season 5 of dark comedy spy drama Slow Horses, which debuts on the streamer with two episodes Sept. 24. The series, which was renewed for Season 6 in October, is adapted from Mick Herron's Slough House books. Season 5 takes its inspiration from the novel London Rules. In the first-look photo released Tuesday, Jackson Lamb, who is portrayed by Gary Oldman, sits in a diner on the phone, looking at someone or something off-camera. Lamb is the leader of the MI5's worst spies, and in Season 5, "everyone is suspicious when resident tech nerd Roddy Ho (Christopher Chung) has a glamorous new girlfriend," according to an official synopsis. "When a series of increasingly bizarre events occur across the city, it falls to the Slow Horses to work out how everything is connected," the description continues. "After all, Lamb knows that in the world of espionage, the London Rules -- cover your back -- always apply." Kristin Scott Thomas, Jack Lowden, Saskia Reeves, Rosalind Eleazar, Aimee-Ffion Edwards, Ruth Bradley, James Callis, Tom Brooke, Jonathan Pryce and Nick Mohammed also star.

Everything we know so far about Stranger Things Season 5
The final season of the Duffer brothers' mega hit, Stranger Things, is set to bring the tale of Eleven, Hawkins and the Upside Down to an epic conclusion. Is there a trailer for Stranger Things Season 5? Not quite yet, though Netflix has released a teaser revealing all of the final season's episode titles, as well as a behind-the-scenes first look and a date announcement. Watch them in full below. Who is returning for Stranger Things Season 5? Series regulars Millie Bobby Brown (Eleven), Finn Wolfhard (Mike), Gaten Matarazzo (Dustin), Caleb McLaughlin (Lucas), Noah Schnapp (Will), Natalia Dyer (Nancy), Charlie Heaton (Jonathan), Joe Keery (Steve), Maya Hawke (Robin), Winona Ryder (Joyce Byers), David Harbour (Jim Hopper), Priah Ferguson (Erica), and Brett Gelman (Murray) all survived the Season 4 finale and will be returning.

Joseph Quinn's Hellfire Club captain Eddie, a new fan favorite, sadly perished after being attacked by a swarm of Demobats in Episode 9. Mason Dye's vengeful jock Jason Carver was also killed—his body ripped apart by an interdimensional gate in the Creel House—as was Matthew Modine's Dr. Martin Brenner, who was shot by a US army sniper. Less certain? The fates of Paul Reiser's Dr. Sam Owens, who was last seen inside the Nina Project as it was attacked by the military; Jamie Campbell Bower's Vecna, who though temporarily defeated is believed to still be alive; and, of course, Sadie Sink's Max. In the season finale, Vecna's attack on the latter caused her heart to stop for over a minute and, even though Eleven was able to revive her, she was shown in a later scene to be in a coma. When Eleven then reached into her mind, she was unable to find her consciousness. While it's still unclear if Max will ever wake up, it's almost certain that Sink will make an appearance of some kind in Season 5.

Look out for none other than Linda Hamilton in a yet-to-be-disclosed role. 'I love the show so much,' the Terminator star and '80s icon says in the first-look segment. 'I really am a fan.' Also joining the ensemble are Nell Fisher, Alex Breaux and Jake Connelly. Nell Fisher as Holly Wheeler and Cara Buono as Karen Wheeler in Stranger Things. Courtesy of Netflix What can we expect from Stranger Things Season 5? The fourth season ended with the battle between Vecna and the residents of Hawkins coming out into the open for the first time: his attack on Max allowed the gates to open and rip through the neighborhood, causing an earthquake that claimed many lives. As the Upside Down began to invade Hawkins, the camera cut to black. So, as it stands, the mission for Season 5 appears to be to kill Vecna once and for all, and save what remains of their hometown. While further details are, understandably, being kept carefully under wraps, the Duffer brothers did speak about the project at a Netflix event on November 13, 2023. They described the final season as 'kind of a culmination of all the seasons, so it's got a little bit from each, whereas before, each season was so distinct—three is our big summer blockbuster season with our big monster; four was the psychological horror. I think that what we're trying to do [this time] is go back to the beginning a little bit, in sort of the tone of one. But also scale-wise, it's more aligned with what four is. So, hopefully, it's got a little bit of everything.' They also added that, although the supernatural elements of the show will remain centre stage, character development will be equally crucial. 'We have so many characters now, most of whom are still living, and it's important to wrap up those arcs,' they said. 'A lot of these characters have been growing since Season 1, so it's a balancing act between giving them time to complete their arcs and also tying up loose ends and doing our final reveals.' It's set to be an emotional conclusion, too. 'We did [make] our executives cry, which I felt was a good sign,' they said of the meeting in which they pitched the complete arc to Netflix. The other morsel fans were given? The title of the first episode of Season 5: 'Chapter One: The Crawl.' Let the speculation begin. Atsushi Nishijima Given that the Duffer brothers are currently in the early stages of writing the scripts for Season 5, it's unlikely that Stranger Things will be back on screens anytime soon. Back in July, David Harbour told GQ : 'I think we'll [shoot] next year. They're finishing writing it this year, and they need to prep and stuff. So it'd probably come out mid 2024, based on our track record.' That, for now, seems like the safest bet. When will Stranger Things Season 5 be released? The fifth season will arrive in three drops—the first portion on November 26, the second part on Christmas Day, and the finale on New Year's Eve. This article was first published on

Season 5 of 'Stranger Things' promises emotional finale
After a three-year wait, the final season of Stranger Things is almost here. Netflix officially confirmed at its 2025 TUDUM event that Season 5 will drop in three thrilling volumes this November and December, culminating in a New Year's Day finale. The first four episodes will premiere on Wednesday, 27 November 2025, at 3 am South African Standard Time (SAST). Volume 2, consisting of three episodes, will follow on Boxing Day, Friday, 26 December. The grand finale, Volume 3, will be available on Thursday, 1 January 2026. This will give South African viewers a dramatic start to the new year, according to Radio Times. Noah Schnapp, who plays Will Byers, teased, 'People are going to be truly devastated… there's not going to be a dry eye; it's going to be sad. But it is a great season and people will love it'. The stakes are higher than ever in Stranger Things . Hawkins scarred by the opening of the Rifts and the heroes united to find and kill Vecna, whose whereabouts remain unknown. The government's military quarantine and intensified hunt for Eleven force her into hiding. This sets the stage for a dark and powerful showdown. Returning cast members include fan favourites Millie Bobby Brown (Eleven), Finn Wolfhard (Mike), Sadie Sink (Max), and Winona Ryder (Joyce). They are joined alongside new additions like Linda Hamilton, who expressed excitement about joining the cast. 'I don't know how to be a fangirl and an actress at the same time. I'm gonna work on that'. The season will consist of eight episodes, described by Maya Hawke (Robin) as 'eight movies' in terms of scale and emotion. The release strategy, spreading episodes across three dates, mirrors Netflix's approach with other hits like The Witcher and Bridgerton , keeping viewers eagerly anticipating each instalment. As the countdown begins, the teaser trailer released at TUDUM hints at an epic and heart-wrenching finale. Ross Duffer, one of the show's creators, said, 'Everyone involved poured their hearts and souls into this, and we couldn't be prouder of what they've accomplished'. Hawkins is calling one last time, and this final journey through the Upside Down will be unforgettable. Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 021 1.
