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.”

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.

Can The Last of Us season 2 redeem the controversial choices of the second game?
The Last of Us season 2 has a tall task ahead
Gabriel Luna and Bella Ramsey in The Last of Us

The Last of Us franchise has become one of the most universally loved stories in both gaming and TV. There's a reason the show got the green light: The video game is a modern classic that raised the bar for future games with its graphics, character design, adventure gameplay, and mature aesthetic. The Last of Us lets people know that video games are much more than just a cheap diversion; they are artwork in their own right. The Last of Us TV show took it a step further and cemented the series as one that is complex enough to be told in multiple mediums. The zombie genre has more respect than ever, and post-apocalyptic storytelling is now respected even more due to the success of the first season.

This is where things get interesting and controversial, though. The second The Last of Us game is known for some plot decisions and character developments that fans thought were a slap in the face to the first game. The Last of Us season 2 now stands on the precipice of either greatness or a repeat of the same mistakes its source material made. Is it possible for the series to tweak the plot while still staying faithful to creator Neil Druckmann's vision?

Severance season 3: Everything we know so far
Will there be another three year wait for Severance?
The cast of Severance

Severance is perhaps the most ambitious show in a large portfolio of incredible ones on Apple TV+. Created by Dan Erickson and produced by Ben Stiller, Severance dissects the horrors of an uneven work-life balance by showing the lives of an office that has been severed from their thoughts at home. The characters essentially live two separate lives in which they don't know about the other version of themselves. It's a science fiction concept that uses a large dose of satire, especially as we live in an age in which more people are trying to gain control of their time when companies use up so much of their employees' existence.

Severance just finished a second season that some fans complained was a little too slow and confusing. The season finale included a musical sequence and some answers about the innies (the work version of the characters) and outies (the personal life version of the characters) that fans had been waiting for since the beginning of the show. Apple TV+ has renewed the show for a third season, and hopefully, there won't be a three-year wait for the encore this time around. This is everything we know so far about Severance season 3.

The sports comedy is returning, but you can enjoy these alternatives in the meantime
The cast of Ted Lasso

Ted Lasso is one of the biggest hits in the history of Apple TV+. The sports comedy starring Jason Sudeikis is famous for its overly positive outlook on life as it follows an eager American football coach who is told to conform to the expectations of English soccer after being hired overseas. Ted doesn't listen to the doubters as each episode oozes with an easy, funny tone that brightens everyone's day. It's one of the best comfort watches in any TV fan's library.

While the third season of Ted Lasso was supposed to be its last, the series has been renewed for a fourth season. Ted Lasso season 4 doesn't have a release date or plot synopsis yet, but fans are already eager to get back into the world of hijinks and fun. If you have already watched the first three seasons a few too many times, we have a solution. These are the best shows like Ted Lasso to stream next while waiting for season 4.
