What happens when MI5’s least successful agents are given one last chance to prove themselves? Slow Horses follows the misfit spies of Slough House, a dumping ground for disgraced agents led by the foul-mouthed, hard-drinking Jackson Lamb (Gary Oldman). In Season 6, the stakes are higher than ever as the team finds itself on the run and targeted by assassins in a deadly plot of revenge, forcing the “slow horses” to confront old enemies and fight for their lives. The new season also brings back Olivia Cooke as Sid Baker, whose return raises plenty of questions after her presumed death in Season 1. Season 6 of Slow Horses premieres Sept. 16 on Apple TV.

Gloria Steinem’s final memoir offers an intimate look at the experiences that shaped one of the most influential voices in second-wave feminism. In An Unexpected Life: A Memoir, Steinem traces her journey from a curious childhood in Toledo, Ohio, and years traveling with her father to her work as a journalist, activist and co-founder of Ms. magazine. Along the way, she reflects on the people, places and pivotal moments that shaped her views on equality, community and justice, including her time living in India and decades spent advocating for women’s rights. Published posthumously following Steinem’s death Sept. 2, the memoir offers a poignant final reflection on a life she never could have predicted — and the work she hoped future generations would continue. An Unexpected Life is available Sept. 22.
