After disappointing fans of his AppleTV+ series Slow Horses, Gary Oldman withdrew from an appearance at New York Comic Con on Thursday. The celebrated actor was scheduled to attend the event on October 9 to promote the popular comedic thriller on the show’s panel. However, he had to cancel and instead shared a heartfelt video message with attendees to express his regrets.
In his message, the Hollywood veteran apologized for missing the panel and expressed gratitude to Slow Horses fans for their immense support. Oldman acknowledged the show’s success and expressed excitement about continuing to work on future seasons for AppleTV+. He praised the cast and encouraged fans to enjoy the panel and sneak peeks while cheering on the characters of the show.
Recent developments reveal that filming for the seventh season of Slow Horses is on the horizon. Oldman confirmed that production for the upcoming season is set to begin in October, following the completion of Season 6. The series, based on Mike Herron’s Slough House novels, features Gary in the lead role as the unconventional MI5 agent Jackson Lamb overseeing operations in Slough House.
Slough House serves as a place where British intelligence sends agents who have made significant errors, keeping them on the periphery of active duty. Despite Lamb’s seemingly lackadaisical demeanor, he is engaged in critical covert operations. Slow Horses also stars notable actors like Jack Lowden, Kristin Scott Thomas, Sasia Reeves, Christopher Chung, Sophie Okonedo, and Rosalind Eleazar.
Praised for its compelling narrative, Slow Horses has garnered numerous award nominations and accolades, including Best Drama Series at the 29th Satellite Awards. The show has been lauded for its performances, with Gary Oldman winning the Rose d’Or for Performance of the Year in 2024.
