The last episode of the critically-acclaimed six-part spy thriller "Slow Horses," from See-Saw Films and based on Mick Herron's novel, is now streaming on Apple TV+. While Apple has not officially announced a second run, the episode concludes with a teaser for what will follow.

While not confirmed yet, the teaser appears to suggest that as expected, the next season will be based on Herron's second novel, "Dead Lions." Known alternately as the Slough House books and the Jackson Lamb series, there are currently seven novels, with an eighth to be published in May 2022.

Separately, Variety has revealed that "Peaky Blinders" star Aimee-Ffion Edwards, and Kadiff Kirwan from "This is Going to Hurt," are in the cast for the second season.

"Slow Horses" stars Gary Oldman and Kristin Scott Thomas. It's dramatized from Herron's novel by Will Smith, Morwenna Banks, Jonny Stockwood, and Mark Denton

The drama is directed by James Hawes, and features Mick Jagger's first-ever TV theme, "Strange Game," co-written with series composer Daniel Pemberton.

No streaming date for the second season has been announced.

    This show and Severance have captivated me, especially since I didn't know much about Slow Horses and had no expectations for it (except knowing that Oldman is a fine actor).

    Such a weird concept that there would be a division solely to employ a handful of problem children within MI5. You’d think they’d just fire them (or feed them to the Dogs) or that there would be way too many people for one tiny office. 

    But an entertaining show nonetheless. 

    Quite a twist at the end of season 1…

    There were 8 people spread out over a 3 story building. How did you get the impression that it was tiny?
