Slow Horses season 5 release schedule: what time it starts and how to watch

Oh Slow Horses, how we’ve missed you. Who would have thought that a troop of loveable (to varying degrees) MI5 misfits would be so bloody endearing and so bloody watchable?

Slow Horses season 5 is finally a go. The spy thriller series, based on Mark Herron’s Slough House novels, follows Jackson Lamb, a somewhat disgraced MI5 agent, and his troop of other outcasts, known fondly (well, sometimes) as the slow horses. Relegated to their remote, dingy office in Barbican, the team are meant to spend most of their time pushing papers – in practice, however, they seem to spend most of their time dashing around the country on super secret spy missions. They may be outcasts – and Lamb may have a real flatulence problem – but they all have hearts of gold. Deep, deep down. And we can’t help but root for them.

Here’s everything we know about Slow Horses season 5 – including how and when to tune in.
