Slow Horses Plot and Cast
The makers have not revealed much about the plot of Season 3 and nothing can be predicted for now since Season 2 has not premiered yet. However, it will definitely continue from where Season 2 would end.
The second season will follow the plot of Dead Lions. Dickie Bow, a one-time low-level informant of Jackson Lamb’s, follows a mysterious character who he recognizes from the old days on a train and then a bus.
Bow ends up dead, apparently of natural causes, but Lamb knows something is up and uses his hopeless team to poke around in long-buried secrets from the Cold War. Being espionage secrets, they naturally don’t stay buried, and soon there’s a very real threat facing the present-day UK.
Coming to the cast, the leads of the first season should reprise their roles. This includes Gary Oldman, Jack Lowden, Kristin Scott Thomas, Saskia Reeves, Olivia Cooke, and others.
