Netflix has lined up Black Doves, its own spy thriller series coming out this December, that it hopes can match the success of Apple TV Plus's Slow Horses.
Slow Horses, starring Gary Oldman as slob spook Jackson Lamb (above), has gained critical acclaim and a string of awards. Netflix is no doubt kicking itself for not adapting Mick Herron's engrossing spy thrillers, but it is hoping that Black Doves, starring Ben Whishaw, Sarah Lancashire, and Keira Knightley, can prove a big draw.
