After his much deserved – and long overdue – Emmy win for Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series, we sat down with Will Smith, head writer and show creator of Slow Horses, for a long chat about the fantastic work he’s done on the series. In part one of our interview, we spoke to him about respecting the audience, episode counts, and sniveling bureaucrats.

Season 4 of Slow Horses is now streaming on Apple TV Plus.
Slow Horses is a darkly humorous espionage drama that follows a dysfunctional team of British intelligence agents who serve in an MI5 dumping ground department known unaffectionately as Slough House. Season four opens with a bombing that detonates personal secrets, rocking Slough House’s already unstable foundations. The series was adapted by Will Smith and stars Gary Oldman, Kristin Scott Thomas, Jack Lowden, Saskia Reeves, Rosalind Eleazar, Christopher Chung, Aimee-Ffion Edwards, Kadiff Kirwan, Joanna Scanlan, Ruth Bradley, Tom Brooke, James Callis, Hugo Weaving, and Jonathan Pryce.
