'Gangs of London' Star Sope Dirisu Joins Cast of 'Slow Horses' Season 3

Though Season 2 of the Apple TV+ series Slow Horses has only just wrapped up, it's already time to look ahead to the third season of the spy thriller, which will feature an exciting new face.

Gangs of London breakout star Sope Dirisu is officially joining the cast for Season 3. He'll play Sean Donovan, the former head of security at the British embassy in Istanbul, though it's unclear at the moment whether he'll be a friend or a foe to the titular group of misfit spies.

Slow Horses is based on the popular series of spy novels by Mick Herron, and follows the story of a dysfunctional team of British intelligence agents who've all been reassigned to serve in a dumping-ground department of MI5 known un-affectionately as Slough House. Oscar winner Gary Oldman stars as Jackson Lamb, the brilliant but irascible leader of the group, who have all essentially been removed from the field for various career-ending mistakes and are desperate to find their way back.
