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.”

The first episode of the new season will premiere, on Sept. 4, will subsequent episodes premiering weekly on Wednesdays through the finale on Oct. 9.

While the show has been critically acclaimed since its first season, Slow Horses recently gained traction at the Emmys for its third season, where it was nominated for nine awards. 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.

Here’s everything we know about Yellowjackets season 4
The series still has plenty of questions that need answers.

After three seasons, Yellowjackets has come closer to answering many of the core questions viewers have been dying to know. The third season finale brings the girls stranded in the wilderness closer to a rescue, and there are naturally plenty of questions about what a fourth season might focus on.

The show has fallen off of the awards radar, but it's still one of my favorites because of its combination of old-fashioned teen drama and heady sci-fi.

Reacher season 4: Everything we know so far
Jack Reacher's TV series will be back for a fourth time on Prime Video
Alan Ritchson in Reacher season 3

Reacher is one of Amazon Prime Video's best successes of the decade. Starring Alan Ritchson and based on the books by novelist Lee Child, the adaptation of the beloved action stories has been an affordable, simple, and effective adventure series that people have fallen in love with across the first three seasons. There was a lot of skepticism when the show was first greenlit, especially because the film version with Tom Cruise wasn't as good as fans expected. Instead, Ritchson and the creative team have fantastically absorbed all of the snappy writing from the books and added to it with their own unique flair.

With the third season of the show done airing, fans are looking forward to when the fourth season will come out. We have a bunch of shows like Reacher you can watch in the meantime, but sometimes that doesn't serve as an adequate substitute for the real thing. Fortunately, we have all the answers you need about Reacher season 4 right here.

8 actors we would love to see in an all-star season of The White Lotus
With dozens of great actors to choose from, creator Mike White can form an incredible All-Star team
The cast of The White Lotus season 1

With The White Lotus season 3's explosive finale in the history books, we fans are already looking ahead at where the show's fourth season could take us. From potential actors who will embody the next set of spoiled characters to a large list of locations the series could travel to, the possibilities are endless for the HBO hit show. Creator Mike White hinted that there is a possibility that what comes next could be an ode to the past, though.

The White Lotus forming an all-star edition season would be an awesome way to say thank you to the fans who have watched all three seasons of the anthology so far. I thought it would be a lot of fun to brainstorm a roster of superstars that would set up a dynamic season in which we'd get some answers regarding our favorite characters while also seeing these people interact in a new vacation setting. I'm also not including anyone who already appeared in multiple seasons of the show; sorry to Greg, Belinda, and Tanya (RIP to our queen Jennifer Coolidge). These are the White Lotus all-stars we need in our lives.
