One of the best shows on TV is back for another go-round. Apple TV+ just debuted the first trailer for season four of Slow Horses, one of their most critically acclaimed dramas. In the trailer, we see Gary Oldman’s Jackson Lamb dealing with the latest catastrophe that his team is facing, as well as some new faces that have joined the cast for season 4.

According to the official logline for the season, it “opens with a bombing that detonates personal secrets, rocking the already unstable foundations of Slough House.”

In addition to Oldman, Kristin Scott Thomas, Jack Lowden, Saskia Reeves, Rosalind Eleazar,  Aimee-Ffion Edwards, Kadiff Kirwan, Christopher Chung, and Jonathan Pryce are all back for the new season, along with new characters played by Hugo Weaving, Joanna Scanlan, Ruth Bradley, Tom Brooke, and James Callis.

Those nominations include one for the show in Outstanding Drama Series, as well as nominations forOldman (Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series), Lowden (Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series), and Pryce (Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series).

The show’s fifth season has already filmed, and it’s unclear when they’ll stop adapting the Mick Herron novels they’re based on. As long as the show remains excellent, here’s hoping we get plenty more of it.

Few shows have had a stranger and more arduous journey to their current status than True Detective. The show has gone through multiple directors and has seen to be on the verge of total extinction at several different points over the course of its run. True Detective: Night Country signaled the show's revival, though, and it actually earned the best ratings for any season of the show.

Following the success of Night Country, many wanted to know whether True Detective would get another season at HBO. The show was renewed almost immediately, which has only fueled further speculation about the season and what it might contain. If you want to know what exactly will happen during True Detective season 5, we've got you covered with everything we know about the next season.

House of the Dragon season 3: Everything we know so far
What we know about the next season of House of the Dragon

House of the Dragon completed its second season recently, with many fans of the high fantasy series wondering whether their answers are ever going to get answered. A lot of the season's plot led up to a fizzling climactic episode that served more as an appetizer for what's to come rather than a concrete resolution. That's why it's never too early to start speculating about House of the Dragon season 3! Here's everything we know about the HBO series' third act so far.
What will House of the Dragon season 3 be about?
House of the Dragon has served as a prequel to Game of Thrones, set multiple centuries in the past. The original show hinted that the Targaryen family ruled Westeros with fire-breathing dragons and resolute power, and the spinoff has verified this timeline throughout the first two seasons. Much of the plot follows Daemon Targaryen, Princess Rhaenyra, and other members of the Targaryen family as they fight for their place on the political hierarchy of Westeros.

The show is based on George R.R. Martin's novel Fire & Blood, but that doesn't mean it's following the book to a tee at the moment. Season 3 should feature one of the best war scenes in Martin's works, the Battle of the Gullet. After fans expected to see a big naval clash to conclude the second season, it appears the writers have waited a little longer to build up anticipation for a scene that may rival the ones in Game of Thrones episodes such as "Blackwater" and "The Watchers on the Wall."

While it may not have seemed like a juggernaut when it first premiered, Apple TV+'s Presumed Innocent has turned into one of the streamer's biggest hits of the year. Apple has announced that the series is their most-watched drama of all time, which may explain why a second season is already in the works.

The series is adapted from a novel of the same name by Scott Turow which was first turned into a movie, and tells the story of a prosecutor who finds himself accused of murder, and has to work to keep his life and family together in light of the allegations. Now that the first season has wrapped up its run, many want to know what season 2 will hold and when it might premiere. Here's what we know:
