  1. Anora - this won the Palme D’Or this year and has gotten great buzz from other fests. I loved it. It was funny, sad, scary, thoughtful, etc. It’s definitely a movie that will stick with you. It’s going to be in the mix this award season, especially for Mikey Madison.

    Apple TV+ is staying with the spies of Slough House for a sixth season.

    Hit Gary Oldman starrer Slow Horses has been re-upped again upon the conclusion of Season 4 on the streaming platform. A fifth season was ordered back in January.

    In Season 6, the spies head out on the run as Diana Taverner (Kristin Scott Thomas) embroils them all in a fatally high-stakes game of retaliation and revenge. The sixth season will be based on Mick Herron’s novels Joe Country and Slough House, which are the sixth and seventh books in the series.

    Book 6: Joe country
    In Slough House, the London outpost for disgraced MI5 spies, memories are stirring, all of them bad. Catherine Standish is buying booze again, Louisa Guy is raking over the ashes of lost love, and new recruit Lech Wicinski, whose sins make him an outcast even among the slow horses, is determined to discover who destroyed his career, even if he tears his life apart in the process.
     

    Meanwhile, in Regent’s Park, Diana Taverner’s tenure as First Desk is running into difficulties. If she’s going to make the Service fit for purpose, she might have to make deals with a familiar old devil.

    Book 7: Slough House
    At Slough House, Brexit has taken a toll. The slow horses have been pushed further into the cold, Slough House has been erased from official records, and its members are dying in unusual circumstances, at an unusual clip. No wonder Jackson Lamb’s crew is feeling paranoid. But are they actually targets?  

    With a new populist movement taking hold of London’s streets and the old order ensuring that everything’s for sale to the highest bidder, the world’s a dangerous place for those deemed surplus. Jackson Lamb and the slow horses are in a fight for their lives as they navigate dizzying layers of lies, power, and death.

     

    Awesome.  I just picked up Joe Country yesterday, assuming we would get at least 6 seasons.  Definitely interesting that they would combine two books.  It wouldn't surprise me if that season runs more episodes, but would be the last one.  There is just one more book completed with one more on the way in 2025, so they won't GoT/GRRM it.
