Gary Oldman will star in a small screen adaptation of Mick Herron’s Slough House books at Apple, Variety has learned.
Titled “Slow Horses” after the first novel in the series, the show 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.
Herron has published six novels and two novellas in the Slough House series to date, with another novella due out in January.
Former “Veep” writer Will Smith will write and executive produce, with Graham Yost, Jamie Laurenson, Hakan Kousetta, Iain Canning, Emile Sherman, Gail Matrux, and Douglas Urbanski also executive producing. The series was commissioned for Apple out of the UK by Apple’s heads of worldwide video, Zack Van Amburg and Jamie Erlocht, and creative director for Europe worldwide video, Jay Hunt. See-Saw films will produce.
