Down Cemetery Road Returns for Season 2 on Apple TV
Down Cemetery Road is set to return to Apple TV with a renewed second season.
The acclaimed UK thriller, featuring Emma Thompson and Ruth Wilson, will see the main characters return as they embark on another intricate investigation. This season begins with a woman’s mysterious death in front of a train, prompting Zoë Boehm (Thompson) to delve into a case that quickly escalates into a dangerous exploration of the world of black-market antiquities alongside Sarah Trafford (Wilson).
The show has received positive reviews from critics and now joins the ranks of Apple’s programming alongside Slow Horses, the popular spy thriller featuring Gary Oldman. Both series draw inspiration from novels authored by Mick Herron, with Apple also adapting Philip Kerr’s Berlin Noir books starring Jack Lowden.
Thompson, who also serves as an executive producer on Down Cemetery Road, expressed her enthusiasm for the new season: “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.”
Produced by 60Forty Films, Down Cemetery Road is penned by Morwenna Banks (Funny Woman), who serves as an executive producer alongside Jamie Laurenson, Hakan Kousetta, Tom Nash at 60Forty Films, Thompson, and Herron. Börkur Sigþórssen (Insomnia) will take the helm as lead director for the upcoming season.
