The sixth season of Slow Horses has come to a dramatic end.
Tom Brooke's JK Coe was then killed by Kyle Soller's assassin character, Jim, in episode 4, while Ruth Bradley's Emma Flyte met a grisly end in a shootout on the beach in episode 6.
Wondering what happened to River and whether he’s really dead? Read on for everything you need to know about the fate of the character.
What happens to River Cartwright in Slow Horses season 6?
But in the final few minutes of the episode, River returned to his grandfather's home where, looking through the window, he realised that former Slow Horses colleague and love interest Sid (Olivia Cooke) was waiting for him.

We won't say much else - but it also remains to be seen if the show follows the novels...
Is Jack Lowden leaving Slow Horses?
However, with Lowden one of the current favourites to take over from Daniel Craig as the next Bond, it does spring to mind whether the actor’s departure could have been orchestrated in order for him to start filming on the next 007 movie.
Yet, with filming for season 8 already taking place, perhaps we will see River again...
