Apple TV+ is presently showcasing season 5 of its cherished Slow Horses series, but shortly the streaming service will introduce another crime thriller from the same author: Down Cemetery Road. The freshly launched trailer for the detective series suggests it could be another success.
### Down Cemetery Road is a detective series featuring Emma Thompson and Ruth Wilson
If you enjoy crime thrillers infused with a hefty dose of humor, Apple TV+ is ready to entertain you this fall.
Slow Horses is currently in its fifth season, and just a few weeks from now, a brand-new series from the same author will make its debut—and its initial trailer appears outstanding.
Down Cemetery Road premieres **Wednesday, October 29** on Apple TV+ with two episodes, followed by weekly releases until December 10.
The detective series stars Emma Thompson and Ruth Wilson and is adapted from the book by author Mick Herron. Herron also penned the Slough House series that Slow Horses is based on.
Further connecting the two series: Morwenna Banks, who authored several episodes of Slow Horses, wrote the entire Down Cemetery Road and acts as executive producer. As an amusing random trivia fact, Banks is also an actress and provides the voice for Mummy Pig in the well-known Peppa Pig series.
Here’s Apple’s synopsis of Down Cemetery Road, followed by the trailer:
> When a home detonates in a serene Oxford neighborhood and a girl goes missing in the wake, neighbor Sarah Trafford (Wilson) becomes fixated on locating her and recruits the assistance of private investigator Zoë Boehm (Thompson). Zoë and Sarah unexpectedly find themselves ensnared in a complicated conspiracy that unveils individuals long thought dead are still alive, while the living are quickly becoming part of the dead.
Based on the trailer, Down Cemetery Road unmistakably appears to adhere to the successful formula of Slow Horses by combining comedy with crime drama. The creative crew alone renders this new show highly awaited.
Apple TV+ is offered at $12.99 per month and includes hit TV series and films such as Ted Lasso, Severance, The Morning Show, Silo, and Shrinking.
