Watch Slow Horses
Open Apple’s official programme page for availability and subscription terms.
Quick start
Watch on Apple TV
Slow Horses is an Apple Original. Its normal legal UK streaming route is an Apple TV subscription through the app or website.
In the UK
- Open the Apple TV app on a supported device, or visit Apple TV in a current web browser.
- Sign in with your Apple Account and take out an Apple TV subscription if you do not already have access through a trial, student plan, Family Sharing or Apple One.
- Search for “Slow Horses”, choose the official series page and select a series or episode.
Apple’s UK page listed the service at £9.99 per month after a seven-day free trial when checked on 14 September 2026. Eligibility and offers vary, so confirm the current amount with Apple before subscribing.
Outside the UK
Apple TV operates in many countries and regions, but app features, billing and programme availability can vary. Start with the same official show link: Apple should present the store and subscription terms for your region. If it is unavailable, check Apple’s country-by-country media-services list—do not use an unofficial stream.
Simple rule: use the country or region attached to your Apple Account and a locally supported payment method. Changing an account region can affect subscriptions, store credit and Family Sharing, so it is not a quick travel workaround.
Device guide
Where it works
You do not need an Apple TV box. The app and web player cover a broad mix of devices.
iPhone and iPad
Use the Apple TV app. Supported subscription titles can be downloaded for offline viewing—handy before a flight or train journey.
Mac and Windows
Use the Apple TV app where available, or stream at tv.apple.com in a supported browser. Downloads require the app, not the browser player.
Smart TVs
Many Samsung, LG, Sony, VIZIO and TCL models offer the Apple TV app. Search your television’s app store and check Apple’s current model list.
Streaming devices
Apple lists support across Apple TV 4K, Roku, Google TV and other platforms, though features vary by model and country.
Games consoles
Compatible PlayStation and Xbox consoles can run the Apple TV app. Sign in using the on-screen instructions.
Web browser
Go to tv.apple.com, sign in and stream. This is useful on a borrowed computer, but remember to sign out and never save your password on a public device.
Tourist mode
Watching while travelling
- Download before departure: where the Apple TV app offers the download button, save episodes on iPhone, iPad, Mac or PC while on reliable Wi-Fi.
- Check storage: video files are large. Confirm the download has finished, then briefly test it offline.
- Streaming abroad: the catalogue and features presented can depend on your location and account region. A title available at home may not behave identically elsewhere.
- Hotel TVs: avoid entering your password if you cannot reliably sign out. A personal device or a browser you control is safer.
- Mobile data: roaming video can be expensive. Use trusted Wi-Fi or an offline download and check your network allowance.
- No VPN promise: this guide does not recommend bypassing regional licensing. VPN access can fail and may conflict with service terms.
Subtitles, audio and accessibility
Use the speech-bubble or audio controls during playback to choose available subtitles, closed captions, audio languages or audio description. Options vary by episode, device and region. Apple’s programme page displays accessibility labels such as CC, SDH and AD when supplied.
Straight answers
Slow Horses streaming questions
The box and the subscription share a name. That is responsible for a surprising amount of unnecessary confusion.
Where can I watch Slow Horses in the UK?
On Apple TV, using the Apple TV app or the web player at tv.apple.com. Open the official programme page rather than an unofficial stream.

Not through the programme’s normal UK on-demand route. Check whether you qualify for Apple’s current trial, a new-device offer, a student arrangement, Family Sharing or Apple One.
Can I download episodes?
Downloads are available through supported Apple TV apps, not through the browser player. Confirm the download before travelling and check the device has enough storage.
Can I watch Series 1?
Yes. Begin with Series 1 Episode 1, “Failure’s Contagious”. Open the complete Series 1 guide →
