Down Cemetery Road is returning to Apple TV.
The hit UK thriller starring Emma Thompson and Ruth Wilson has been handed a second season recommission.
Season 2 reunites Zoë Boehm (Thompson) and Sarah Trafford (Wilson) chasing down another twisted mystery. After a woman falls in front of a train Zoë is called in to investigate, but this seemingly simple case soon upends her life as she and Sarah find themselves navigating the glamorous but ruthless world of black market antiquities.
The show garnered warm reviews from critics and now sits on the same Apple slate as Slow Horses, the smash spy thriller starring Gary Oldman. Both shows are adapted from novels by Mick Herron. Apple is also making an adaptation of Philip Kerr’s Berlin Noir books starring Jack Lowden.
Thompson, who also exec produces Down Cemetery Road, said: “The thought of working with the team again, with wonderful Morwenna Banks in the writer’s seat and the indomitable Ruth Wilson who is the best and most brilliant co-star any aging Dame could desire, is frankly far more than I feel I deserve. Zoë Boehm is a punkishly delicious avatar and I can’t wait to pull on her knock-off Doc Martens again.”
