Adapted from Mick Herron’s novel and starring Emma Thompson and Ruth Wilson. Apple TV announces season 2 of Down Cemetery Road.
Following the first season finale, Apple TV has officially renewed the acclaimed thriller “Down Cemetery Road” for a second season. The talented Emma Thompson stars in and executive produces the series. She has won an Academy Award, a BAFTA Award, a Golden Globe Award, and an Emmy Award. The show also stars Golden Globe Award and two-time Olivier Award winner Ruth Wilson.
Since its global debut, this riveting, dark, and wildly entertaining detective series has captured attention, quickly becoming one of the best thrillers of the decade and earning a Certified Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The “twisty, nerve-racking ride” is a “delectable blend of intrigue and jokes,” with an “impeccable cast” led by “excellent performances” from the “dynamic pair” of Thompson and Wilson.
EMMA THOMPSON
“I’m so thrilled that Down Cemetery Road has been enjoyed enough to warrant a second 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. Thanks to everyone who watched! We are go for the next one and it’s all down to you,” said star and executive producer Emma Thompson.
JAY HUNT
“Audiences around the world fell in love with ‘Down Cemetery Road’, and I am glad the unlikely duo of Zoë and Sarah will be back with their unique form of acerbic wit,” said Jay Hunt, creative director, Europe, Apple TV.
SEASON TWO
Season two 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 navigate the glamorous yet ruthless world of black-market antiquities. Matters take a deadly turn when they stumble into the path of a brutal serial killer who will stop at nothing to cover up his crimes.
BEHIND THE CAMERAS
Produced by 60Forty Films, “Down Cemetery Road” is written by Morwenna Banks (“Funny Woman”). She also serves as executive producer alongside Jamie Laurenson, Hakan Kousetta, and Tom Nash at 60Forty Films. Thompson and “Down Cemetery Road” author Mick Herron are also producers. Börkur Sigþórssen (“Insomnia”) will serve as lead director for the second season.
“Down Cemetery Road” is the second collaboration between author Mick Herron and Apple TV. This follows the celebrated, Emmy Award-winning spy drama “Slow Horses,” which was recently renewed for a seventh season. “Slow Horses,” on which Banks also wrote, is based on Herron’s celebrated “Slough House” book series. The show stars Academy Award winner Sir Gary Oldman.
The complete first season of “Down Cemetery Road” is now streaming globally on Apple TV.
