CulterixApple orders Season 8 of “Slow Horses” as Season 6 premieres
Apple TV’s spy comedy-thriller dropped its sixth season, and the streamer has already greenlit an eighth, adapting Mick Herron’s next novel.
Apple TV's spy comedy-thriller “Slow Horses” dropped its sixth season this week, and the streamer used the moment to lock in an eighth season adapting Mick Herron's next novel — skipping straight past a Season 7 announcement most shows would still be waiting on.
Ordering two seasons ahead, rather than waiting to see how the current one performs, is a much stronger signal than a typical renewal. It tells you Apple already trusts the show's audience will still be there years from now, which is exactly the kind of long-range bet that keeps a slow-burn series like this one funded through its less flashy seasons.
