Season 5 of the hit spy thriller Slow Horses has released its debut episode, raising questions about when the remaining episodes will come and how many there are in total. Both the crime thriller and spy genres are packed with shows to watch. However, Apple TV+’s Slow Horses rises above the rest in terms of quality and entertainment value.
One of Slow Horses’ most significant benefits as a TV show is its ongoing presence. Slow Horses season 1 debuted in 2022, and we’re now on season 5 with two more seasons of Slow Horses already confirmed. This consistency is rare with streaming shows, and it makes viewers much more interested in continuing to watch.
Luckily, Slow Horses season 5 released its first episode today, September 24, 2025, continuing its incredible Rotten Tomatoes streak. If you’re looking forward to Slow Horses season 5, here is all the information you need to know about the rest of the episodes and their release times.
Slow Horses Season 5 Episodes Release at 3AM ET On Wednesdays
Even though Apple TV+ doesn’t typically use a weekly release schedule, Slow Horses season 5 will be released consistently across six weeks, on Wednesdays. The timing is catered to the West Coast of the United States, which is usually the case for streaming sites.
As such, Slow Horses season 5 releases at 12:00 AM Pacific Time, which is 1:00 AM Mountain Time, 2:00 AM Central Time, and 3:00 AM Eastern Time.
Slow Horses Season 5 Has 6 Total Episodes
Like all previous seasons of Slow Horses, Season 5 consists of six episodes in total. The original release plan indicated that two episodes would drop as a premiere on September 24, 2025. However, the plan has changed as only the first episode is available as of the release date.
The second episode also has a listed release date of October 1, 2025, on Apple TV+. While the one-episode season debut might be disappointing to those who expected a two-episode premiere, it means we will get to enjoy the story throughout the entire month of October, rather than just the majority of it.
The weekly release also feels appropriate for Slow Horses, as this is their fifth season within three years, allowing fans to watch the show without large gaps in time.
When Slow Horses Season 5’s Finale Will Be Released On Apple TV+
Based on the weekly release schedule, Slow Horses season 5’s finale, titled “Scars,” will come out on October 29, 2025. This is the full season 5 release schedule:
