'Slow Horses' Season 5 finale: When is Episode 6 streaming on Apple TV?

After its premiere on September 24, the fifth season of Apple TV's Slow Horses is coming to a close. The finale (Episode 6) titled 'Scars' will premiere on October 29, Wednesday. It was initially assumed that the finale was supposed to air on October 22. 

Saul Metzstein, who directed the Emmy-nominated Season 3, is directing the six-episode spanning Season 5. Gary Oldman continues in his role of Jackson Lamb, the shabby, curmudgeon leader of the band of eccentric, misfit spies working in the shoddy basement-style espionage department "Slough House", so named for the reason that it employs the "flawed" members of MI5.

Based on the 'Slough House' series of books penned by Mick Herron, Slow Horses is a prime example of a show that got better with each new season, earning acclaim for the cast and crew, with Oldman earning the Golden Globe, BAFTA, and Emmy nominations for his stupendous performance.

Combining elements of the dark comedy and espionage thriller, the show became an instant hit with fans owing to its exceptional writing, performances, and top-notch production value.

Meanwhile, Apple TV had renewed the show for the sixth and seventh seasons. The sixth season was announced last year, and will likely be based on the sixth and seventh novels in the book series. The six-episode seventh season will be based on the eighth book in the series.

Jamie Laurenson, Hakan Kousetta, Iain Canning, Emile Sherman, Dan Hassid, Mick Herron, Gail Mutrux, Douglas Urbanski and Gary Oldman himself are serving as executive producers.
