“I’m tethered to [Slow Horses], even when I’ve got a six-month break,” he told Wall Street Journal Magazine. “And it dictates if I do anything else.” It even took priority over his role in Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer.
River Cartwright actor Jack Lowden also seems invested for another season: “As long as it’s still interesting and people are still interested, I think it’s the same with anything, I’d love to do it,” he told Collider.
We can only hope for the return of our other Slow Horses favourites:

Slow Horses season 5 plot
Season 5 will follow the plot of Mick Herron’s fifth novel in his series, named London Rules.
According to the book’s synopsis, somene is trying to kill Roddy Ho, and Claude Whelan (James Callis) is “tasked with protecting a beleaguered prime minister, facing attack from all directions: from the showboating MP who orchestrated the Brexit vote, and now has his sights set on Number Ten; from the showboat’s wife, a tabloid columnist, who’s crucifying Whelan in print; from the PM’s favorite Muslim, who’s about to be elected mayor of the West Midlands, despite the dark secret he’s hiding; and especially from his own deputy, Lady Di Taverner, who’s alert for Claude’s every stumble.
“Meanwhile, the country’s being rocked by an apparently random string of terror attacks.”
It is safe to say that, as usual, there will be A LOT going on.
