Hit Apple TV thriller Down Cemetery Road just aired its season finale this week, but fans didn’t have to wait long to learn the series’ fate. Apple just confirmed that the show is coming back for season 2. Here are the details.
Down Cemetery Road gets season 2, with star duo returning
Slow Horses has been one of Apple TV’s best series since its 2022 debut, and also among its most prolific thanks to new seasons premiering annually.
Recently, Apple premiered a new series from the same author—Mick Herron—featuring private detective Zoë Boehm.
Down Cemetery Road benefits from strong source material (books here) just like Slow Horses. Its dynamic lead duo of Emma Thompson and Ruth Wilson are another highlight.
And today, Apple announced that the series is coming back for season 2. From the press release:
“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 knockoff 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.
Thanks to the existence of several books featuring detective Zoë Boehm, Apple already has a plot summary available for the new season.
Inspired by novel The Last Voice You Hear, here’s what season 2 has in store:
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 find themselves navigating the glamorous but 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.
It’s unclear how soon we’ll get to enjoy Down Cemetery Road’s return. It would be great if the show followed Slow Horses’ pattern of quick turnarounds, but Apple has not shared release timing as of yet.
