Slow Horses star is never “too comfortable” after big character deaths

As a dedicated fan of Slow Horses, I can confidently say that the fourth season is a thrilling rollercoaster ride that keeps me on the edge of my seat! Saskia Reeves’ insightful interviews add an extra layer of excitement to the anticipation. Her dedication to delving into the intricate details of Catherine Standish’s character, even the unspoken ones, truly resonates with me as a fellow book enthusiast.


Actress Saskia Reeves, who plays a key role in the series “Slow Horses,” has shared her thoughts on significant character deaths that occurred within the show, following the demise of characters such as Min (portrayed by Dustin Demri-Burns) and Spider (played by Freddie Fox)

I’m absolutely thrilled to share that my beloved Apple TV+ series is back for its fourth season today (September 3), inspired by Mick Herron’s novel “Spook Street.” This gripping espionage saga continues, and this time it’s based on his series of clever capers. The six-episode storyline revolves around a chilling plot involving a suicide bomber in a London shopping center, while the character David Cartwright (Jonathan Pryce) has seen a worsening of his dementia since season three. Can’t wait to dive back into this thrilling world!

In a private conversation with Digital Spy, it was revealed by Reeves (who portrays Catherine Standish, Jackson Lamb’s persistent assistant in the fictional world of Slough House) that many members of the cast have been reading ahead in John le Carré’s nine-book series to discover more about their characters’ futures

As a gamer, I’ve noticed that the TV series tends to stick fairly close to the books, but when it comes to our favorite game, the creators have the freedom to make their own moves. They can take creative liberties and go wherever the story takes them

Reeves stated that he would always remain vigilant, as he doesn’t want to become overly complacent or arrogant, for fear of them changing their opinion

I consistently immerse myself in these books, and I must say, Mick’s dialogue is simply outstanding, while the scripts are top-notch as well. Occasionally, I come across a line of Mick’s that didn’t make it into the final version, and I ask Will Smith, the showrunner, if there’s any possibility for inclusion

“I really enjoy that our novels are filled with intricate backstories and details. It’s satisfying to retain these in my memory. It’s rewarding to find elements from the books that aren’t included in the movie scripts, as both what is spoken and what isn’t can be equally fascinating.”

For enthusiasts of “Slow Horses”, there’s yet another season to anticipate past season four, as season five has already been filmed and is set for release

Slow Horses season 4 continues on Apple TV+.
