“Slow Horses” follows a team of British intelligence agents who serve in a dumping ground department of MI5 – Slough House.

Joining Oldman is a decorated ensemble cast including Academy Award-nominee Kristin Scott Thomas (“Darkest Hour”), Academy Award-nominee Jonathan Pryce (“The Two Popes”), BAFTA Scotland Award-winner Jack Lowden (“Dunkirk”), and Olivia Cooke (“Sound of Metal”).
