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.

When it first debuted on Apple TV+, Presumed Innocent almost immediately became one of the streaming service's biggest hits. So big, in fact, that even though the show was intended to be a limited series, it was renewed for a second season.

Given that the first season was adapted from a novel and movie of the same name, there were naturally questions about what the second season might focus on it. The Scott Turow novel that was the basis for the first season is being jettisoned for the second, according to reporting in Deadline. This new season will have a female lead, and will adapt Dissection of a Murder, an upcoming novel from Jo Murray.

The employees of Lumon are headed back to work. After an extended delay, Severance, which was a phenomenon for Apple TV+ when it premiered on the streaming service in 2022, is back for a second season. The show is set to return on Jan. 17, and the first trailer for the new season suggests that Adam Scott's Mark S. will head back to work after successfully exposing his "innie" to the outside world.

The first season ended on a massive cliffhanger, as Scott's innie realized that his wife, who he believed had died in a car accident, was, in fact, alive and working at Lumon. The trailer sees Mark running down the halls of Lumon until he arrives at an office space that very much resembles his own but is occupied by an entirely new group of colleagues. We then see Milchick (Tramell Tillman), Mark's boss, arrive in the office to welcome him back.
