Slow Horses: Season 4 Trailer Promises More Thrills and Twists

Here’s the deal. If you watch the new Slow Horses season four trailer and are already a fan of the series, it’ll make you impatient for September 4, 2024. If you haven’t checked out the series, the trailer will convince you to immediately binge the first three seasons on Apple TV+. It’s that effective.

The critically acclaimed spy series stars Oscar winner Gary Oldman as Jackson Lamb, leader of the “rejects.” Oscar nominee Kristin Scott Thomas, BAFTA Scotland Award-winner Jack Lowden, Saskia Reeves, Rosalind Eleazar, Christopher Chung, Aimee-Ffion Edwards, Kadiff Kirwan, and Oscar nominee Jonathan Pryce are also back for the upcoming fourth season. Newcomers to the Slow Horses world include SAG winner Hugo Weaving, BAFTA winner Joanna Scanlan, IFTA winner Ruth Bradley, Tom Brooke, and James Callis.

The series is based on Mick Herron’s Slough House books, with season four adapted from Herron’s fourth novel of the series, Spook Street. Apple TV+ has already announced the series will return for a fifth season to be based on the fifth novel, London Rules.

Will Smith (from Veep, not the actor) adapted Herron’s work and serves as an executive producer. Additional executive producers include Jamie Laurenson, Hakan Kousetta, Iain Canning, Emile Sherman, Jane Robertson, Julian Stevens, Douglas Urbanski, Gail Mutrux, and Graham Yost. Adam Randall directed the fourth season, and See-Saw Films produced the series.

Slow Horses is a darkly humorous espionage drama that follows a dysfunctional team of British intelligence agents who serve in a dumping ground department of MI5 known un-affectionately as Slough House,” reads Apple TV+’s synopsis. “Season four opens with a bombing that detonates personal secrets, rocking the already unstable foundations of Slough House.”

New episodes of the six-episode season stream on Wednesdays beginning September 4th. The season four finale is set for October 9th.




James McAvoy Discusses His Twisted Character in Speak No Evil

James McAvoy describes his character in Speak No Evil as all about playing games…twisted games, of course. McAvoy, who’s happy to be back with Blumhouse, says his character has a darkness to him. However, “the minute he gets toxic, he balances it with something to justify it,” explains the BAFTA winner in the new one-minute featurette from the psychological thriller.

“When an American family is invited to spend the weekend at the idyllic country estate of a charming British family they befriended on vacation, what begins as a dream holiday soon warps into a snarled psychological nightmare,” reads Blumhouse’s synopsis.

James McAvoy (Split) stars as Paddy, a husband, father, and charismatic, alpha-male estate owner. Mackenzie Davis (Terminator: Dark Fate) and SAG award-winner Scoot McNairy (A Quiet Place Part II) star as the vacationing couple who make a life-altering decision when they befriend Paddy and his family. Alix West Lefler plays their 11-year-old daughter. Aisling Franciosi (Game of Thrones) is Paddy’s wife, Ciara, and Dan Hough plays their mute son.

James Watkins (The Woman in Black) wrote and directed Speak No Evil, based on writers Christian Tafdrup and Mads Tafdrup’s 2022 Danish film Gæsterne. Paul Ritchie and Blumhouse’s Jason Blum serve as producers, with Jacob Jarek, Christian Tafdrup, and Blumhouse’s Beatriz Sequeira executive producing.

Speak No Evil opens in theaters on September 13, 2024.

Most Anticipated Movies: Fall 2024

Technically, fall 2024 begins on September 22nd and ends on December 21st. However, for the purposes of this Most Anticipated Fall 2024 Movies list, we’re expanding it a little to include Beetlejuice Beetlejuice’s release on September 6th and Transformers One and His Three Daughters’ launch in theaters on September 20th.

We’re also fudging it by including Nosferatu with Lily-Rose Depp and A Complete Unknown starring Timothée Chalamet, both entering theaters on Christmas Day.

Although the summer box office took a while to heat up – thanks to a slew of underperformers – theaters began to fill up with the releases of Bad Boys: Ride or Die and Inside Out 2. Despicable Me 4 helped it along, but it was Deadpool & Wolverine that confirmed audiences are back. The rise in COVID-19 cases could still impact the final months of 2024, but there’s reason to hope the year will end on a high note.

And speaking of high notes, the following list includes the most buzzed-about new films heading to theaters or streaming as 2024 wraps up.

Hysteria! Series Preview: Julie Bowen Comes Face-to-Face with a Demon in New Peacock Series

Modern Family‘s Julie Bowen returns to television with Peacock’s Hysteria!, set during the ’80s “Satanic Panic” era. The short teaser shows Bowen bopping out in her kitchen when suddenly the house shakes. A dish shatters and the face of a demon appears in her microwave. Creepy, right?

The cast also includes Anna Camp, Emjay Anthony, Chiara Aurelia, Kezii Curtis, and Nikki Hahn. Bruce Campbell, Garret Dillahunt, Nolan North, Elijah Richardson, Milly Shapiro, Allison Scagliotti, and Jessica Treska pop in as recurring guest stars.

“When a beloved varsity quarterback disappears during the ‘Satanic Panic’ of the late 1980s, a struggling high school heavy metal band of outcasts realize they can capitalize on the town’s sudden interest in the occult by building a reputation as a Satanic metal band, until a bizarre series of murders, kidnappings, and reported supernatural activity triggers a leather-studded witch hunt that leads directly back to them,” reads Peacock’s synopsis.

Hysteria! Season 1

The eight-episode season premieres on Peacock on October 18, 2024. USA Network and Syfy will also air the first episode on October 18th.

Matthew Scott Kane (Stitchers) and David A. Goodman (The Orville) serve as writers and executive producers. Additional executive producers include John Francis Daley, Jonathan Goldstein, and Good Fear Content Chris Bender and Jake Weiner. Executive producer Jordan Vogt-Roberts directs episodes one and eight.

“‘What are those kids up to? Whatever it is, it can’t be good.’ That fear haunts every generation. Children of the Atomic Age went on to terrifying their families by turning on, tuning in, and dropping out in the sixties. Those same free spirits went on to vote for Reagan and called for censorship of the obscene and satanic heavy metal bands their own kids worshiped. Now, those kids are adults who rail against pronouns, TikTok, and a movie about Barbie. The cycle doesn’t end. And it’s hard to escape the feeling that someone, or something, is sitting by watching it all, and laughing,” said Kane and Goodman in a statement.

Hysteria! is about both sides of that generational fear. It’s about the thrills of being young, rebellious in spirit and aspirational at heart – and the horrors of growing up and realizing that the world you thought you knew has shifted beneath your feet. Our hope is that parents and children (of the appropriate age, of course) can enjoy the chills, the laughs, the music, and the heart of Hysteria! together. Growing up is scary. So is parenting.”

The Monkey Teaser: A Haunting Beat of Blood and Terror

The teaser trailer for Neon’s The Monkey features discordant circus music, the titular character banging his drum, and the drumhead spattered with blood. It ends with Theo James covered in blood. The 40-second teaser does its job well, teasing without giving anything away.

In addition to Theo James (The White Lotus), the 2025 horror film stars Tatiana Maslany (She–Hulk: Attorney at Law), Elijah Wood (Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency), and Christian Convery (Sweet Tooth). Colin O’Brien (Wonka), Rohan Campbell (The Hardy Boys), and Sarah Levy (Schitt’s Creek) also star.

“When twin brothers Hal and Bill (played by Theo James in later years, Christian Convery plays the younger twins) discover their father’s old monkey toy in the attic, a series of gruesome deaths starts occurring all around them. The brothers decide to throw the monkey away and move on with their lives, growing apart over the years,” reads Neon’s synopsis. “But when the mysterious deaths begin again, the brothers must reunite to find a way to destroy the monkey for good before it takes the lives of everyone close to them.”

Longlegs‘ Osgood Perkins adapted the Stephen King short story and directs. Atomic Monster’s James Wan and Michael Clear, C2 Motion Picture Group’s Dave Caplan, Range Select’s Brian Kavanaugh-Jones, and Odd Fellows’ Chris Ferguson serve as producers. Executive producers include Range’s Fred Berger, Stars Collective’s Peter Luo and Nancy Xu, and John Friedberg for Black Bear.

Evil Season 4 Episode 13

Unfortunately, there are only two new episodes left in Paramount+’s Evil season four. That’s it, and it’s over…unless some smart streamer (looking at you, Netflix) makes the wise decision to resurrect it from the dead. But it’s not over quite yet, and series co-creator Robert King dropped this tantalizing teaser about the upcoming episode: “On this Thursday’s #Evil Ben meets one of his heroes. Sister Andrea tortures a demon. And the Entity comes after David. Try it you’ll like it.”

Episode 13, “Fear of the Unholy,” streams on Thursday, August 15, 2024.

Season four stars Katja Herbers as Kristen Bouchard, Mike Colter as David Acosta, Aasif Mandvi as Ben Shakir, Michael Emerson as Leland Townsend, and Christine Lahti as Sheryl. Andrea Martin stars as Sister Andrea, Kurt Fuller is Dr. Boggs, Brooklyn Shuck is Lynn Bouchard, Skylar Gray is Lila Bouchard, Maddy Crocco is Lexis Bouchard, Patrick Brammall is Andy Bouchard, and Dalya Knapp plays Laura Bouchard.

“Fear of the Unholy” Plot: The Vatican asks the team to investigate a Hawking-like genius for potential ties to the occult. David’s continued aiding of the Entity produces physical effects, and he and Sister Andrea say goodbye to St. Joseph’s. Meanwhile, Leland returns home, where David confronts him.

In the new season of Evil, Kristen, David, and Ben continue to assess cases that involve wayward technology, possessed pigs, demonic oppression and infestation, a dance muse conjured by alleged witches and an evil relic. Throughout, Leland attempts to lure Kristen into raising a baby antichrist who was conceived with her ovum. David is recruited by the Vatican’s secret service to “remote view” a paranormal ability to see the unseen in order to detect evil. Ben is hit by an ion beam, causing him to see visions of a taunting jinn until he discovers an unusual solution to banish it.

Finally, all three realize they only have a few weeks left to assess cases because the parish has decided to disband the team due to a lack of funds. This culminates in one last confrontation with Leland and the 60 families that make up Evil in the modern world.
