James Callis, Shaul Metzstein & Nick Mohammed Discuss ‘Slow Horses’ Season 5 at New Event

At New York Comic Con 2025, we had the chance to chat with the talented folks behind Slow Horses, the hit spy series on Apple TV+. Packed with espionage thrills and sharp humor, the show has captured the hearts of fans with its complex characters, surprising plot twists, and that classic British wit that keeps it real when things get intense.

Being at NYCC was a big deal for the Slow Horses team, given the show’s rise to acclaim on Apple TV+. The convention buzz matched the show’s perfect blend of humor and suspense, and seeing fans show their love for these characters was a highlight for everyone involved. It was also a special moment for creators to delve into the series’ core, touching on themes of redemption, loyalty, and resilience in the face of adversity.

The upcoming fifth season, based on Mick Herron’s fifth book “London Rules,” takes a darker turn as the story unfolds. The Slough House crew is up against the clock as London faces a wave of attacks during a heated mayoral race. What begins as a lighter tale quickly escalates into a high-stakes battle for survival.

We chatted with director Saul Metzstein and actors James Callis and Nick Mohammed about the challenges their characters face in this new season. A major shocker involves Roddy Ho, played by Christopher Chung, who discovers that his new girlfriend is part of a terrorist group. This revelation sparks a series of deadly assaults aimed at the tech-savvy Roddy, putting him and the team at Slough House in jeopardy.

Meanwhile, tensions escalate within MI5 as the “Dogs” close in, intensifying their investigations. With just three episodes left, fans can expect even more suspense, dark humor, and emotional punches as the season hurtles towards its gripping conclusion. So, buckle up for an exciting ride in the world of Slow Horses on Apple TV+!
