Apple TV+ releases first trailer for 'Slow Horses' thriller

Apple TV+ has released an extended first-look trailer for its forthcoming spy drama, the darkly comic "Slow Horses," starring Gary Oldman, and based on Mick Herron's novel.

Adapted from the first of Herron's series of novels, the 2 minutes and 21 second trailer introduces us to an office for sidelined MI5 agents. As in the award-winning books, the trailer shows the series to switch between the blackly comic drudgery facing these agents, and moments of real peril.

Dramatised by "Veep" writer Will Smith, and executive produced by "Justified" creator Graham Yost, the series stars Gary Oldman and Kristin Scott Thomas.

It's made for Apple TV+ by See-Saw Films, which most recently produced Jane Campion's Oscar-nominated "The Power of the Dog."

The first two episodes of "Slow Horses" will stream from April 1, 2022, followed by four more editions weekly on Fridays.
