Line of Duty’s ‘biggest rival’ confirms season 7 plot before fifth is even out
The luckiest TV fans around just got more good news.
If you know the difference between ‘London rules’ and ‘Moscow rules’, then you’ll be delighted to learn that Apple TV Plus has officially renewed Slow Horses for a seventh season.
While the renewal itself isn’t that much of a surprise – star Gary Oldman accidentally spoiled the reveal in June – what may shock Slough House fanatics is that we already know the plot.
According to Apple’s official synopsis season seven will see Lamb and his inept spy team (the titular Slow Horses) trying to find and neutralise a mole at the heart of the British Government.
Now, if you’ve been keeping up to date with Mick Herron’s Slough House series, the books that Slow Horses is based on, you’ll know that sounds very similar to the plot of the seventh novel, Bad Actors.
According to the Bad Actors blurb, that story sees a key member of a Downing Street think-tank ‘disappear without a trace’.
MI5 then tasks an old super-spy with tracking her down, which leads them to spy master, Diana Taverner, who quickly becomes the prime suspect, and she has to rely on the Slow Horses to get her out of a tricky situation.
