The dysfunctional spies of Apple TV+’s acclaimed espionage drama “Slow Horses” are set to take the Main Stage at New York Comic Con 2025! This is a thrilling announcement, proving once again that Apple TV+ is bringing its premium, high-quality programming directly to the biggest pop culture conventions
Slow Horses Panel at NYCC 2025
This panel offers a fantastic opportunity for fans to get an inside look at the new season, which is scheduled to premiere just weeks before the convention.
- Date: Thursday, October 9, 2025
- Time: 3:30 PM – 4:15 PM (Eastern)
- Panel: Slow Horses S5 (Apple TV+)
- Location: Main Stage, Javits Center
The new season is set to deepen the dark comedy and thrilling stakes that have become the hallmark of the series. Slow Horses is a darkly humorous espionage drama that follows a dysfunctional team of British intelligence agents who serve in a dumping ground department of MI5 known unaffectionately as Slough House. The spies are all there due to career-ending mistakes, and they frequently find themselves blundering around the smoke and mirrors of the espionage world. Prepare for all the witty dialogue, cynical espionage, and thrilling revelations when the Slow Horses panel hits the Main Stage!
The Returning Cast
Academy Award winner Sir Gary Oldman, who has been honored with Golden Globe, Emmy, and BAFTA Award nominations for his performance, stars as Jackson Lamb, the brilliant but cantankerous leader of the spies. The incredible ensemble cast also includes Academy Award nominee Kristin Scott Thomas, Emmy Award nominee Jack Lowden, Saskia Reeves, Rosalind Eleazar, Christopher Chung, Aimee-Ffion Edwards, Ruth Bradley, James Callis, Tom Brooke, and Academy Award nominee Jonathan Pryce.
New Season, New Danger
In season five of Slow Horses, everyone is suspicious when resident tech nerd Roddy Ho has a glamorous new girlfriend. However, when a series of increasingly bizarre events occurs across the city, it falls to the Slow Horses to work out how everything is connected. The highly anticipated fifth season premiered globally on Wednesday, September 24, 2025. Followed by one episode weekly until October 29, 2025.
A Special Guest Star
Season five also welcomes “Ted Lasso” star Nick Mohammed as a special guest star!
It’s truly great to see programming from Apple TV+ at conventions now. Apple Tv+ has consistently delivered some of the best quality programming in the industry. They’ve greenlit a slate of truly unique and fascinating shows like Severance, Foundation, and the multiple Emmy-winning Ted Lasso. Having a panel for a flagship series like Slow Horses at a major event like New York Comic-Con is a fascinating development. I hope we see Apple TV+ bring more shows to events like NYCC.
