Apple TV+'s Slow Horses is back with Season 4, and here is an extensive list of the characters and actors along for the ride.
The show follows the Slough House division of MI5, where the agency's biggest outcasts and so-called failures end up. While they may be cast aside, the group is still heavily involved in completing critical missions and saving lives.
The first episode of Season 4 aired on September 4. The rest of the episodes will air weekly, culminating in the finale on October 9.
Cast & Actors in Slow Horses Season 4
Gary Oldman - Jackson Lamb
Gary Oldman's Jackson Lamb is the leader of Slough House and the operatives it houses.

Oldman has had several iconic movie roles, including Officer Gordan in The Dark Knight, George Smiley in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, and Sirus Black in the Harry Potter franchise.
