Apple unveils first look at new thriller "Down Cemetery Road" starring Emma Thompson and Ruth Wilson, premiering Wednesday, October 29

New series is adapted from CWA Diamond Dagger Award-winning author Mick Herron's novel of the same name from the "Zöe Boehm" book series

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, October 29, followed by new episodes every Wednesday through December 10.

When a house explodes in a quiet Oxford suburb and a girl disappears in the aftermath, neighbor Sarah Tucker (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 September 24, 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.
