Today, Apple TV+ unveiled a first look at the highly anticipated new thriller “Down Cemetery Road,” starring and executive produced by Academy Award, BAFTA, Golden Globe Award and Emmy Award winner Emma Thompson (“Sense and Sensibility”), and also starring Golden Globe Award and two-time Olivier Award winner Ruth Wilson (“Luther”). The eight-episode thriller will make its global debut on Apple TV+ with the first two episodes on Wednesday, 29 October, followed by new episodes every Wednesday through 10 December.
When a house explodes in a quiet Oxford suburb and a girl disappears in the aftermath, neighbour Sarah Trafford (Wilson) becomes obsessed with finding her and enlists the help of private investigator Zoë Boehm (Thompson). Zoë and Sarah suddenly find themselves in a complex conspiracy that reveals people long believed dead are still among the living, while the living are fast joining the dead.
Produced by 60Forty Films, “Down Cemetery Road” is written by Morwenna Banks (“Slow Horses”), who also serves as executive producer alongside Jamie Laurenson, Hakan Kousetta and Tom Nash at 60Forty Films, Thompson, and “Down Cemetery Road” author Mick Herron. Natalie Bailey (“Bay of Fires”) serves as lead director for the series.
The series joins the celebrated, Emmy Award-winning spy drama “Slow Horses” on Apple TV+. “Slow Horses” was recently renewed for a seventh season, and its fifth season will premiere on 24 September 2025. The series, on which Banks also wrote, is based on Herron’s celebrated “Slough House” book series and stars Academy Award winner Sir Gary Oldman.
