Apple TV+ has established itself as a serious streaming service in recent years. With high-quality productions, strong actors, and relevant topics, the service has long been more than just an insider tip. This summer, Apple TV+ continues its trajectory by bringing back two of its most successful series formats with new seasons.
If you're an Apple TV+ user or considering subscribing, now's a great time. Two of the service's most popular series—Slow Horses and The Morning Show—are returning with new seasons. Both series are among the provider's flagship shows, and both will receive their new episodes in summer 2025. An exact launch date hasn't been announced yet, but one thing's for sure: fans won't have much longer to wait.
Slow Horses Season 5 is coming this summer
Slow Horses is a darkly humorous spy series centered on a group of British intelligence officers who have been sidelined after career mistakes. They work in Slough House, a dreary MI5 office far removed from the agency's high-profile operations. The team is led by the unpredictable yet brilliant Jackson Lamb, played by Gary Oldman, who has received repeated praise for his performance. Although the fourth season aired in September 2024, season 5 is scheduled to arrive in summer 2025. This would make the wait for new episodes shorter than usual. Apple has not yet announced an exact date, but the announcement suggests that the release will be earlier in the summer.
This isn't just good news for fans—they can also look forward to continuity: Even before season 5 has aired, it's been confirmed that season 6 is already in the works. A rare occurrence in today's series world and a clear sign of how successful the format is for Apple TV+. The series remains true to its original content: Once again, it's about opaque operations, dangerous threats to Great Britain, and the Slough House agents' daily struggle for relevance—despite all the obstacles, internal power games, and political pitfalls.
The Morning Show Season 4 also starts in summer
The Morning Show is also entering a new season. Like Slow Horses, the fourth season is scheduled to begin this summer. An exact release date is also pending. The series was one of Apple TV+'s first original productions and has been a staple of the program since the service's launch in 2019. It centers on an American breakfast show where things are anything but harmonious behind the scenes. It explores power, media, politics, and personal abysses—and how the television landscape is changing.
The third season, which aired in September 2023, focused, among other things, on the planned takeover of the broadcaster UBA by a tech billionaire. Loyalties were tested and new alliances were forged. Season 4 is set to continue these developments, focusing even more on current topics. One of the major new additions is the arrival of Marion Cotillard, who will play a key role in the new season. Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon will also return. Topics will include the influence of artificial intelligence, deepfakes, and disinformation—precisely the issues currently causing debate in the real news business.
