Apple TV has steadily established itself as one of the leading platforms for thriller series. Here are two major new crime thrillers currently airing, along with a preview of three additional series that are just around the bend.
### Down Cemetery Road and The Last Frontier Present Unique Perspectives on the Crime Thriller Genre
This week, Apple introduced a new detective series penned by the author of *Slow Horses*. *Down Cemetery Road* features Emma Thompson and Ruth Wilson and has much in common with the well-known espionage thriller starring Gary Oldman. Both shows, aside from originating from novels by Mick Herron, are also connected through writer Morwenna Banks. Audiences will discover a similar thematic equilibrium of serious topics balanced by British wit. Reviews thus far have been quite favorable, particularly lauding the performances of Thompson and Wilson.
While *Down Cemetery Road* emphasizes the detective/mystery aspect of a crime thriller, *The Last Frontier* presents a different angle. *The Last Frontier* features Jason Clarke as a U.S. Marshal in rural Alaska who witnesses a plane crash carrying violent inmates, unleashing chaos in his jurisdiction. The series comes from *The Blacklist* creator Jon Bokenkamp and is packed with action sequences and intense thrills. Both shows are rife with twists and are still early in their releases, making it simple for new viewers to catch up and join others who are watching weekly. *Down Cemetery Road* will keep rolling out new episodes until December 10, while *The Last Frontier* will conclude on December 5.
### Three More Thrillers on the Way: The Hunt, Hijack, The Savant
For additional thrilling series, Apple TV has several more premieres set to arrive soon:
– **The Hunt**
– **Hijack season 2**
– **The Savant**
*The Hunt* is a French-language series launching on December 3, where a group of friends who enjoy recreational hunting find themselves becoming the hunted. *Hijack* premiered its first season in 2023 and quickly became one of Apple TV’s top thrillers. Starring Idris Elba, the series returns for season 2 on January 14 with a story set on a train. *The Savant* was expected to debut last month but has been postponed indefinitely. Apple continues to label it as “Coming Soon,” so hopefully that remains the case. This limited series stars Jessica Chastain as she goes undercover in online hate groups to combat domestic terrorism.
Apple TV is available for $12.99 per month and features popular TV shows and films such as *Ted Lasso*, *Severance*, *The Morning Show*, *Silo*, and *Shrinking*.
