Get ready for a thrilling ride! The highly anticipated season 5 finale of Slow Horses has left fans on the edge of their seats, and now, one of its stars, Christopher Chung, is spilling the beans on what's to come. But here's where it gets exciting...
In an exclusive interview with HELLO! magazine, Chung, who portrays the character Roddy, reveals his thoughts on the show's latest twist: the rise of Diana Taverner (played by the iconic Kristin Scott Thomas) to the top position at MI5. This long-awaited development has fans buzzing, especially since the show has already been renewed for two more seasons.
The series, adapted from Mick Herron's bestselling books, centers on a group of MI5 outcasts, including River (Jack Lowden) and Jackson Lamb (Gary Oldman), who find themselves in Slough House after making costly mistakes. Chung's character, Roddy, has had an intriguing journey, and the actor hints at a 'fun' evolution in the upcoming season.
Chung shares his joy about the impact of the show on his career, saying, 'It's been a wonderful experience to see my profile rise and be able to contribute to something meaningful.' He also teases that Roddy might adopt a more holistic approach in season 6, learning from his past mistakes.
But the real question is: what chaos will unfold in season 6? The trailer hints at a tense power struggle as Diana takes charge, with the synopsis promising a high-stakes game of retaliation and revenge. And let's not forget the behind-the-scenes changes, with a new head writer and the adaptation of two of Herron's novels.
The cast is set to return with some familiar faces, including Gary Oldman, Jack Lowden, and a few new additions like Harry Lloyd and Lenny Rush. With filming already wrapped up, fans are eagerly awaiting the release date, expected to be in autumn 2026. And the excitement doesn't stop there—season 7 is already in production!
So, will Diana's reign bring peace or turmoil? What new challenges await the Slow Horses? Only time will tell. But one thing's for sure—this show knows how to keep us guessing! Are you ready for the ride?
