According to Apple’s official synopsis, this “quick-witted spy drama follows a dysfunctional team of MI5 agents—and their obnoxious boss, the notorious Jackson Lamb – as they navigate the espionage world’s smoke and mirrors to defend England from sinister forces.”

Oldman leads the series in the role of Jackson Lamb, while the supporting cast includes Kristin Scott Thomas, Jack Lowden, Saskia Reeves, Rosalind Eleazar, Christopher Chung, Samuel West, Sophie Okonedo, Aimee-Ffion Edwards, Kadiff Kirwan, and Jonathan Pryce.

Season 5 will be based on Mick Herron’s book Spook Street, and it will see Slow Horses trying to work out a series of increasingly bizarre events after becoming suspicious when resident tech nerd Roddy Ho (Christopher Chung) finds a glamorous new girlfriend.

Slow Horses is one of the rare recent shows to move at rapid speed, after premiering just 18 months ago and already moving to a fifth season. Its renewal comes shortly after Season 3 arrived on Apple TV+, and its follow-up is set for a late 2024 release.

Oldman was promoting his Apple TV+ spy show Slow Horses during a recent interview on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, and the host Josh Horowitz asked him how he felt about his portrayal of Harry Potter’s godfather Sirius Black in this magical movie franchise.

“I think my work is mediocre in it. No, I do. Maybe if I had read the books like Alan [Rickman, who played Professor Snape], if I had got ahead of the curve, if I had known what’s coming, I honestly think I would have played it differently,” explained Oldman.

The Oscar-winner also added that he’s his own biggest critic and that he never thinks he’s amazing in anything because he wants “to make the next thing better.” He previously told Drew Barrymore that the roles in the Harry Potter and The Dark Knight franchise saved him because he could “do the least amount of work for the most amount of money and then be home with the kids.”

Oldman made his debut as Sirius Black in the third film Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, directed by Alfonso Cuarón, and reprised it in two more sequels.

Multiple outlets report that the Oscar-winning actor joins the cast of Apple’s Slow Horses. 

Oldman’s TV roles are far and few between. Perhaps his most memorable TV role is that actor on Friends that has a habit of spitting while saying his lines. 

Oldman will set to star in the forthcoming espionage drama series based on Mick Herron’s book series that follows a team of British intelligence agents who serve in a dumping ground department of MI5 – Slough House. Oldman will star as Jackson Lamb, the brilliant but irascible leader of the spies who end up in Slough House due to their career-ending mistakes.

Slow Horses hails from Veep writer Will Smith who will pen and executive produce the series.

This project has been decades in the making, and it will tell the story of famed screenwriter Herman J. Mankiewicz. He won an Oscar for Citizen Kane alongside Orson Welles, but two visionaries clashed loudly over the credit on this iconic film.

David Fincher has been dreaming about making this movie since the late ‘90s, but his insistence to shoot it in black and white eventually led to its fallout. Fortunately, Netflix has his back now and critically acclaimed director will start shooting his dream project later this fall.

Mank is probably one of the most personal movies of his career since it’s based on the screenplay written by his late father Howard Fincher. He served as Life Magazine’s bureau chief before passing away in 2003.

The story centers on a former child psychologist Anna Fox who has a dangerous habit of mixing alcohol and medication. Severe agoraphobia takes a toll on her and she spends months locked inside her house. Anna starts spying on her neighbors through her apartment window and ends up witnessing a horrible crime. She has a hard time convincing the police she’s telling the truth and eventually starts doubting herself.

The film is an adaptation of the best-selling debut novel from author A.J. Finn. Tracy Letts wrote the script for the big screen and Joe Wright will serve as the director. Oldman’s casting doesn’t come as a surprise since the two already worked together in the past. The English actor played the lead in Wright’s World War II drama Darkest Hour and won an Oscar for his portrayal of Winston Churchill.

When it comes to The Woman in the Window, Oldman will play the patriarch of the mysterious family. The movie also stars fellow Oscar winner Julianne Moore and up-and-comer Wyatt Russell. It’s slated for an October 4, 2019 release.

“There was a break in the filming, and we had talked about it and I just felt the urge,” said Oldman to Jimmy Kimmel. “We were down in the war rooms, and I took her into the back room. And as Winston Churchill, I said ‘Will you marry me?'”

Schmidt said yes, but they couldn’t enjoy the moment for long since Oldman was asked to get back to the set and continue with the filming. You can check out this segment from Jimmy Kimmel Live! below.

The 59-year-old British actor and writer/art curator Gisele Schmidt tied the knot in August 2017 at a private ceremony. This is Oldman’s fifth marriage, while Schmidt was previously married for 20 years. Oldman said that the fifth time might be the charm adding: “I’ve gone through my thing and we’re like peas in a pod… I’m nearly 60 and at last, I think I’ve come home.”

Oldman received numerous appraisals for his portrayal of Churchill with critics calling it one of the best works in his career. Besides the Golden Globe award for Best Actor in Motion Picture Drama, Oldman received multiple other nods for the performance including BAFTAs and Screen Actors Guild Award nominations for best actor. It is expected that he will also get nominated at the upcoming Academy Awards. Darkest Hour focuses on Winston Churchill’s early days in the office and, although it didn’t have a strong box-office run, it gained a widespread acclaim from the critics.
