Season 6 of Slow Horses: What Irish Viewers Need to Know
Slow Horses has built a loyal following in Ireland thanks to its sharp writing and Gary Oldman’s memorably grubby turn as Jackson Lamb. With a sixth season generating buzz, plenty of Irish fans are asking the obvious question: where can you actually watch it, legally, from home?
The short answer: Apple TV. Slow Horses is an Apple original series, so every season — including Season 6 — streams on Apple’s subscription service, Apple TV (called Apple TV+ until late 2025), which is available in Ireland. Season 6 premiered on 15 September 2026, with new episodes weekly on Wednesdays until 21 October.
The Apple TV app is available on Apple devices, most recent smart TVs (including Samsung and LG), Fire TV, Roku, Google TV devices and games consoles, and you can also watch in a web browser at tv.apple.com.
Getting Set Up: Devices and Apps
Once you have an Apple TV subscription, having the right hardware makes a real difference to picture quality and ease of use. For most Irish households, a dedicated streaming device is far more reliable than trying to cast from a phone or rely on an older smart TV’s built-in apps, which can be slow to update.
The Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K is a solid, affordable option that plugs straight into your TV’s HDMI port and gives you access to all the major streaming apps in one place, with regular software updates and support for 4K and HDR where your subscription and broadband allow it. It’s a popular choice for Irish homes precisely because it’s simple to set up and doesn’t require any technical know-how.
If you’d prefer an alternative, the Roku Streaming Stick 4K is another well-regarded option, known for its clean, straightforward interface and broad app support. Roku devices tend to be praised for how easy they make it to search across multiple services at once, which is handy when you’re juggling several subscriptions.
Fire TV Cube is worth a look too if you want a more powerful, voice-controlled option with faster processing, while the Google TV Streamer (which replaced Chromecast) suits Android households. Whichever device you choose, make sure its app store is up to date, as streaming apps are updated frequently and an outdated version can cause playback issues or missing content.
Catching Up on Earlier Seasons
Seasons 1 to 5 are also on Apple TV, so a single subscription covers the whole series. Search “Slow Horses” in the Apple TV app to see every season and episode.
The Bottom Line
Slow Horses Season 6 is an Apple TV exclusive in Ireland, like every season before it. All you need is an Apple TV subscription and a device with the Apple TV app — most smart TVs and streaming sticks already have it.
