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.”

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.

Everything we know about Rhea Seehorn and Vince Gilligan’s new Apple TV+ show

Breaking Bad creator and Better Call Saul co-creator Vince Gilligan insisted after the legendary crime dramas ended that he'd never return to the universe of Walter White, Saul Goodman, and New Mexico for a third time. While he's kept his word so far, Gilligan has executed some loopholes in his promise that should appease fans of the franchise. Apple TV+ has greenlit a new science fiction series created by Gilligan that will film in Albuquerque and star Saul's standout leading lady, Rhea Seehorn.

These ties to the setting and acting of Gilligan's most recent show should create enough anticipation that many fans of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul have been dying for fresh details on the ambiguous series that has been hinted at being like old school shows like The Twilight Zone. The series has a working title of Wycaro 339 right now, but there is no confirmation that this will be the final name. Here's everything else we know about Vince Gilligan and Rhea Seehorn's upcoming series!
What is Vince Gilligan and Rhea Seehorn's show about?
Vince Gilligan has been intentionally uninformative about his new show, instead relying on his audience's loyalty to his creative liberties and hoping the high expectations will pay off. The attention to detail exhibited in both of Gilligan's previous series resonates with viewers who get sick of seeing the same old thing on their TV screens.

Everything we know about Stranger Things season 5 so far
Stranger Things

Stranger Things is Netflix's crown jewel. The science fiction series elevated the medium almost a decade ago with special effects and scale usually reserved for the big screen movie theaters. The intimate comforts of following the heroic citizens of small-town Hawkins, Indiana make viewers feel like anybody can save the world. Combine that with incredible set pieces and frightening monsters and the series possesses all of the components worthy of its revolutionary presence in TV lore.

One of the only negative running gags surrounding the series is how long it takes to film each season. Since its 2016 debut, Stranger Things has only released four seasons and 34 episodes. It's been since summer 2022 since the last batch of episodes, and there is still no concrete release date for the fifth and final season. The creators of the show, the Duffer Brothers, shared some behind-the-scenes clips of filming last week as the cast and crew work their way to the halfway point.

Everything we know about The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon season 2
Fans are excited to see Norman Reedus in a second season of this TWD spinoff
Norman Reedus as Daryl Dixon - The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 1, Episode 6

The Walking Dead exploded onto the television scene in the early 2010s to rabid fanfare. The post-apocalyptic drama had never been so well written and performed on the small screen. The massive number of characters and variety of storylines allowed the series to perhaps overstay its welcome, but that didn't stop AMC from greenlighting several spinoff series after the original aired its finale in November 2022. Its popular antihero, Daryl Dixon, was always suspected to be a prime candidate for his own show, and thus, The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon was born in September 2023.

The show has undergone some plot and character changes since conception. The creative team wanted the show to follow the duo of Daryl and Carol that resonated with so many fans for years on The Walking Dead. Carol's actress, Melissa McBride, dropped her name out of the hat before the series went to production and AMC pivoted to a Daryl-only affair. Daryl's actor, Norman Reedus, is one of Hollywood's most affable performers and fans were delighted to follow his journey post-The Walking Dead (he has another AMC show titled Ride With Norman Reedus). But what about The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon season 2?
