Apple TV’s Longest-Running Spy Series Officially Returns in 10 Days

Rohan Naahar is a News Writer for Collider. From Francois Ozon to David Fincher, he’ll watch anything once. He has covered everything from Marvel to the Oscars, and Marvel at the Oscars. He also writes obsessively about the box office, charting the many hits and misses that are released weekly, and how their commercial performance shapes public perception. In his time at Collider, he has also helped drive diversity by writing stories about the multiple Indian film industries, with a goal of introducing audiences to a whole new world of cinema.

Three actors have regularly been cited as having made the shortlist for James Bond in recent weeks. All three of them have been busy this year, giving the producers of the upcoming James Bond reboot a good look at their chops, not to mention their audience perception. Callum Turner recently starred alongside Monica Barbaro in the romantic comedy One Night Only, while Jack O’Connell’s new movie Ink, directed by Danny Boyle, recently premiered at the Venice International Film Festival. The third contender, on the other hand, will return as a fan-favorite character in the sixth season of Apple TV’s longest-running drama series in just 10 days.

The show in question is Slow Horses, and the actor is Jack Lowden. He debuted in the series after playing a pivotal role in the ensemble cast of Christopher Nolan’s World War II movie Dunkirk. Slow Horses, based on a series of books by Mick Herron, follows a group of disgraced spies relegated to a forgotten division in MI5, led by Gary Oldman’s eccentric spymaster Jackson Lamb. The series premiered to positive reviews in 2022, and four years later, it remains one of Apple TV’s crowning achievements.

The show that claimed the most of your answers is the world you were built for. If two tied, both are shown — you’re complicated enough to straddle two Sheridan universes.

You are a Dutton — or you might as well be. You understand that some things are worth protecting at any cost, and that the modern world’s indifference to history, to land, to legacy, is not something you’re willing to accept quietly. You lead from the front, you carry your family’s weight without complaint, and when someone threatens what’s yours, you don’t escalate — you finish it. You’re not cruel. But you are absolute. In Yellowstone’s world, that combination of ferocity and loyalty doesn’t make you a villain. It makes you the only thing standing between everything that matters and everyone who wants to take it.

You thrive in the chaos of high-stakes negotiation, where the money is enormous, the margins are thin, and the wrong word in the wrong room can cost everyone everything. You’re a fixer — the person called when a situation is already on fire and needs someone with the nerve to walk into it. West Texas oil country rewards exactly what you are: sharp, adaptable, unsentimental, and absolutely clear-eyed about what people want and what they’ll do to get it. You’re not naive enough to think this world is fair. You’re smart enough to be the one deciding who it’s fair to.

You are a Dwight Manfredi — someone who has served their time, paid their dues, and arrived somewhere unexpected with nothing but their reputation and their wits. You adapt without losing yourself. You build loyalty through respect rather than fear, though you’re not above reminding people that the two aren’t mutually exclusive. Tulsa King is for people who are still standing when everyone assumed they’d be finished — who find, in an unfamiliar place, that they’re more capable than the world gave them credit for. You don’t need a throne. You build one, wherever you happen to land.

You carry the weight of a system that is broken by design, and you do it anyway — because someone has to, and because you’re the only one positioned to do it without the whole thing collapsing. Mike McLusky’s world is for people who are comfortable operating where there are no good options, only less catastrophic ones. You speak every language: law enforcement, criminal, political, human. That fluency makes you invaluable and it makes you a target. You’ve made your peace with both. Mayor of Kingstown belongs to people who understand that keeping the peace is not the same as being at peace — and who do the job regardless.
