Slow Horses season 5 has confirmed a release window in a brand-new teaser clip.
The next outing for the hit Apple TV+ spy series comes after the fourth premiered late last year, with the streamer now confirming that Jackson Lamb and Co. will be returning for the follow-up this summer.
In a trailer previewing their summer slate, a brief glimpse at Gary Oldman's Lamb in the fifth season was unveiled, showing the character in an elevator.
Season 5 will be based on Mick Herron's London Rules from his book series, which promises political intrigue involving politician Peter Judd and some mysterious terror attacks.
We also know that Hugo Weaving will be back as season 4 villain Frank Harkness, with the star confirming his return last November.

"Each season generally is a book, but also each season departs a little bit from those books," he said at the International Film Festival of India.
"We’re getting to the point with Slow Horses where the seasons are catching up to the amount of books that [Mick] Herron has written."
As well as a fifth outing, fans can also look forward to a sixth season, which was confirmed last year after season 4 wrapped up.

The season is set to adapt the sixth and seventh novels in Herron's series and sees "the Slow Horses on the run as Diana Taverner embroils them all in a fatally high-stakes game of retaliation and revenge".
"Audiences around the world have fallen in love with the Slow Horses, and I’m delighted that Gary Oldman will be leading this star-studded cast on another acerbic and action-packed adventure," Jay Hunt, Apple TV+'s creative director in Europe, said at the time.
Slow Horses seasons 1-4 are available on Apple TV+. Season 5 is due this summer.
