The Major Character Reveals
While the trailer delivers plenty of trademark Slough House chaos and dark humor, two specific character returns steal the show:
- Sidonie “Sid” Baker (Olivia Cooke): Easily the biggest shocker of the trailer. We haven’t seen Sid since Season 1, where her fate was left looking grim and she was widely presumed dead. Seeing House of the Dragon star Olivia Cooke back in action completely recontextualizes what went down in the early days of the series.
- Frank Harkness (Hugo Weaving): The heavy-hitting Season 4 villain—who shares a deep, personal connection with River Cartwright—is officially back on the board to cause more mayhem.
