Gary Oldman will play in the new series

It became known that the English actor Gary Oldman will play in the series Slow Horses.

The show will be an adaptation of the first novel from the Slough Horses series by writer Mick Herron.

Oldman's hero, Jackson Lamb, leads the most unpopular department of British MI5, which employees call "slough" among themselves. Jackson was sent there due to unforgivable mistakes in working with spies, and now he will have to prove his workability to the leadership again.
