The hit Apple TV spy series, which stars Gary Oldman, has been renewed for another season, just one day before Season 6 premieres on the streaming service, Deadline reports.

The renewal also comes after Slow Horses picked up another Emmy Award over the weekend, with Saul Metzstein winning Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series.

After an attempt to blackmail the Park goes wrong, Diana goes on the offensive and Jackson must uncover one of MI5’s darkest secrets.

“Slow Horses continues to charm audiences all around the world and I’m delighted that Jackson Lamb and his gang of lovable misfits will be back for an eighth season. Their acerbic take on the high-octane world of espionage is completely unique,” Apple TV’s Jay Hunt said in a statement.
