Slough House is setting up again and all the misfits are on the run. Naturally, Gary Oldman's Jackson Lamb is the primary returning star in the Slow Horses Season 6 cast. The rude, unkempt head of Slough House, who disguises his firm loyalty to his agents with his sour wit, is on a personal mission to save his team at any cost. The first official trailer shows Jackson confronting Diana about why his agents keep showing up dead, setting up a dangerous season for the titular agents.

In addition to Gary Oldman, the returning cast for Season 6 includes Kristin Scott Thomas as Diana Taverner. The previous season marked a major change for Diana, who became First Desk after Jackson outsmarted and forced Claude Whelan out of his position in MI5. The upcoming season will see Diana embroil Jackson's agents in a high-stakes, deadly game of retaliation and revenge, which will send them on the run.

Jack Lowden will also return as River Cartwright in Slow Horses Season 6. The upcoming season is set to be an exciting entry for one of Jackson's most capable agents. The trailer confirms that the upcoming season will reunite River with Sid, who was presumed dead after Season 1.

Talking about Sid Baker, actress Olivia Cooke will also appear in the upcoming season. While Cooke's Sid Baker was presumed dead in Season 1, Roddy Ho uncovered evidence that suggested she might be alive. With Cooke's presence in the Season 6 trailer, fans and River will finally learn the mystery behind her presumed death.

Rounding out the returning stars for Slow Horses Season 6 are Saskia Reeves as Catherine Standish, Christopher Chung as Roddy Ho, Jonathan Pryce as David Cartwright, Hugo Weaving as Frank Harkness, Rosalind Eleazar as Louisa Guy and Aimee-Ffion Edwards as Shirley Dander.
