One of the best shows on TV is back for another go-round. Apple TV+ just debuted the first trailer for season four of Slow Horses, one of their most critically acclaimed dramas. In the trailer, we see Gary Oldman’s Jackson Lamb dealing with the latest catastrophe that his team is facing, as well as some new faces that have joined the cast for season 4.

According to the official logline for the season, it “opens with a bombing that detonates personal secrets, rocking the already unstable foundations of Slough House.”

The first episode of the new season will premiere, on Sept. 4, will subsequent episodes premiering weekly on Wednesdays through the finale on Oct. 9.

While the show has been critically acclaimed since its first season, Slow Horses recently gained traction at the Emmys for its third season, where it was nominated for nine awards. Those nominations include one for the show in Outstanding Drama Series, as well as nominations forOldman (Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series), Lowden (Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series), and Pryce (Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series).

The show’s fifth season has already filmed, and it’s unclear when they’ll stop adapting the Mick Herron novels they’re based on. As long as the show remains excellent, here’s hoping we get plenty more of it.

There's fan backlash, and then there's what happened around the release of The Last of Us: Part 2. The game was characterized by severe hate from fans, specifically around the character of Abby, a muscular, capable woman who was seen as too masculine by some fans, who also wrongly assumed that she was a trans character based on leaks.

Season 3 of Ted Lasso was enough of a conclusion that it's easy to understand why fans may be wondering whether we could ever get more from the show, which is one of the best on Apple TV+. After its first season, the show emerged as a genuine phenomenon at a moment when many people were especially receptive to its message about the need for kindness in everyday life.

Although the show became less overwhelmingly beloved in subsequent seasons, the show retained a large and loyal following after its third season finale. The question remains, though: Will there be a Ted Lasso season 4? Will we get more?
