Jackson and Catherine had spent many nights keeping each other company while sitting in the dark. After all, it was the only time they could relax and break cover. But for that to ever happen, there had to have been a first time.

might go wild and flesh this out more later
Catherine wasn’t the least bit surprised when Lamb showed up shortly after they started picking glass shrapnel from their hair, their clothes.
“I leave you lot alone for five fucking minutes and you nearly get blown to kingdom come.” He gestured at Emma Flyte and Louisa - “Thought you pair would make at least three quarters of a decent agent together.” Catherine felt their eye rolls were warranted.
“How would they have prevented this exactly?” Catherine was very much not in the mood as she faced him fully. A look passed over his features that she didn’t quite parse before he was in her space.
“Fuck sake.” He reached into his coat and pulled out a waded up tissue, made to reach toward her forehead where she knew she’d been nicked.
Catherine backed up a step - “How long has that been in your pocket? I’m not looking to contract sepsis, thank you.”
Lamb rolled his eyes at her, cast about the room looking for something - her bag apparently, as he grabbed hold of it and started rummaging through.
“Get out of my bag!”
“Like you’ve anything embarrassing in here, not like I’m gonna start pulling out tampons now is it.” Right as he pulled out three of them.
Shirley piped up from the kitchen where she’d been on the hunt for something stronger than water. “Catherine’s a real one - keeps a stash in case someone comes on while we’re out.”
“Bag, please.” Catherine took her bag back and retrieved a pack of tissues, dabbed one to her forehead. Lamb pushed her hand out of the way to check the cut himself.
“You know she’s only got a scratch, right? Some of us are actively bleeding??” River called out from the floor, a hand pressed to a weeping cut on his arm as he dragged himself up.
“If you’ve energy to be moaning about it it’s not that bad. Now fucking shut up and get after whoever just tried to blow you lot up.”
I’m getting more and more impatient so I’ve been looking back, and we got the trailers for seasons 4 and 5 of Slow Horses exactly three weeks before the first episode of each aired.
SO, if Apple wanna be consistent with it, we should be getting the Season 6 trailer on the 26th August…
Christopher Chung stars in Netflix series "My Brilliant Career" and will return to "Slow Horses" as Roddy Ho for the show's sixth season.
Chung also gamely hypes up the upcoming season of the popular spy series, which premieres in mid-September. “ I think this season is probably a little bit darker, but it’s really action-packed,” he says. “The final episode is so cinematic.”
Chung stars in the show as Roddy Ho, a tech-savvy hacker for spy agency Slough House. Although introduced in season one, Roddy recently became a breakout character and fan-favorite of last season.
“What happens within season five is set off by what Ho does,” Chung says. “The great thing about ‘Slow Horses’ is that you manage to shine a light on different characters in every season, and bring them a little bit more into the focus. In essence it’s an ensemble piece, really,” he adds. “ That’s just the structure of the show, and I think [that] is why people engage so much and wanna see, ‘Oh, who’s gonna step forward a little bit more this season?’ I think you’ll be surprised in season six.”
The actor describes his character in the upcoming season as a “little bit more pious and holier than the rest of them, but under the guise of being quite the sage. Or, as Roddy would put it, kind of like a Yoda Jedi,” Chung says.
Chung’s willing to offer one spoiler: “ I can probably say that I get a tattoo,” he says. “And I think that has a really strong meaning throughout the season, so watch that closely.”
Season 6 of Slow Horses will have an international premiere on day one of the Toronto International Film Festival on 10 September.
Since making its debut in 2022, Slow Horses’ singular take on the spy thriller genre has made it one of television’s most critically acclaimed, widely popular, and utterly captivating series. As a new season begins, River Cartwright (Jack Lowden, Dunkirk, TIFF ’17; Benediction, TIFF ’21) had hoped to escape the purgatory of Slough House, after the glimmering hope of a promotion seemed just in his grasp. But the endless machinations of newly-ascended First Desk Diana Tavener (Kristin Scott Thomas, Darkest Hour, TIFF ’17) land Cartwright back on MI5’s island of misfit toys, under the reluctant governance of Jackson Lamb.
After the chaos of last season’s entanglement with Libyan operatives, accidental assassinations, and Roddy’s (Christopher Chung) love life, the Horses could use a breather. But as River deals with personal matters, spurring the return of ruthless mercenary — and River’s father — Frank Harkness (Hugo Weaving, The Royal Hotel, TIFF ’23), another maelstrom of revenge and retaliation for old wounds begins to form.
Characteristically clever, and unsentimental with a clear-eyed affection for the riff raff of espionage and high intrigue, Slow Horses maintains a propulsive energy and dark humour into its sixth season.
Episode One will air on Apple TV on 16 September 🐌🐎
