For Slow Horses fans, one of the biggest fantasy series in recent years is absolutely a must-watch, as it stars one of the actors who did not stay long in the British spy thriller, and the exciting show is coming back in 2026. Slow Horses has become one of the most popular spy TV shows in the last few years.
It joins a roster of hit series that include streaming shows like The Night Agent, The Agency, and more. The spy series serves as the perfect place for British talent of all ages to pass through, with many characters not returning for multiple seasons. As such, those looking at upcoming TV shows while waiting for more Slow Horses have to check out a 2026 release.
A Slow Horses Actor Stars In One Of The Biggest Fantasy Series In Recent Years
Olivia Cooke played Sidonie "Sid" Baker, who is assigned to Slough House at the start of the spy series. Sid had a major role to play in Slow Horses season 1, which seemingly culminated with her death by the end of the season. However, the door was left open for the character to be alive and return in future seasons.
While Cooke has yet to return to Slow Horses, fans of the British spy thriller can catch her in a lead role in HBO's House of the Dragon. The acclaimed series is the first Game of Thrones spinoff released after the end of the flagship series, which is held highly as one of the best TV shows of all time.
After a long two-year gap, House of the Dragon season 3 marks the return of the show in 2026. Cooke plays Alicent Hightower, one of the two main characters behind the show's central Targaryen family conflict. House of the Dragon has proven itself a major hit both viewership-wise and in terms of critical acclaim, making it a must-watch.
Why House Of The Dragon Season 3 Is Worth Watching
House of the Dragon boasts a high 87% critics' score on Rotten Tomatoes. The fantasy series expands one of the biggest franchises of all time by delving deep into a bloody moment in the history of the fiery Targaryen family. After two seasons that steadily escalated the conflict between the two factions of Targaryens the show focuses on, death is the only way out.
Dragons and large-scale battles add to the excitement of House of the Dragon's thrilling politics.
Olivia Cooke's Alicent Hightower tried to stop the Targaryen war in season 2, but her effort was fruitless, and fans should brace for one of the bloodiest seasons in Game of Thrones franchise history. House of the Dragon season 3's premiere already showcases the Battle of the Gullet, with several deaths. It will only grow from there, and Slow Horses fans can appreciate Cooke's key role in the war.
