New Apple TV+ crime thriller coming soon from Slow Horses author

Apple has announced a new series premiering this fall that has all the makings of a hit, including its source material courtesy of Slow Horses author Mick Herron. Here are all the details on Down Cemetery Road, coming soon to Apple TV+.

Down Cemetery Road stars Emma Thompson investigating a complex small-town conspiracy

Apple TV+ officially looks like the go-to streamer for new thrillers this fall. Over the past week alone, Apple has announced three upcoming crime thrillers:

  • The Savant, with Jessica Chastain hunting domestic extremists in online hate groups
  • The Last Frontier, where Jason Clarke is a U.S. marshal facing dozens of loose violent inmates
  • and now Down Cemetery Road completes the trio

Down Cemetery Road will hit Apple TV+ on Wednesday, October 29 with its first two episodes, followed by weekly releases through December 10.

The series stars Emma Thompson as a private investigator and Ruth Wilson as the person who hires her.

Here’s Apple’s official series summary:

When a house explodes in a quiet Oxford suburb and a girl disappears in the aftermath, neighbor Sarah Tucker (Ruth Wilson) becomes obsessed with finding her and enlists the help of private investigator Zoë Boehm (Emma Thompson). Zoë and Sarah suddenly find themselves in a complex conspiracy that reveals that people long believed dead are still among the living, while the living are fast joining the dead.

Down Cemetery Road is based on the book by Mick Herron, a name that Apple TV+ viewers should be familiar with. Herron also wrote the Slough House series of books that the hit series Slow Horses is based on.

Speaking of Slow Horses, season 5 of that show arrives in September, and not-so-coincidentally will wrap up the very day that Down Cemetery Road premieres.
