Apple TV+ has dropped the official trailer for Down Cemetery Road, its upcoming thriller series from the team behind Emmy-winning Slow Horses, starring Emma Thompson and Ruth Wilson.
Based on the book by Slow Horses scribe Mick Herron, in Down Cemetery Road, when a house explodes in a quiet Oxford suburb and a shorty disappears in the aftermath, neighbor Sarah Trafford (Wilson) becomes obsessed with finding her and enlists the help of private investigator Zoë Boehm (Thompson). Zoë and Sarah suddenly find themselves in a complex conspiracy that reveals people long believed dead are still among the living, while the living are quick joining the dead.
“I think someone’s hiding something,” a worried-looking Sarah (Wilson) tells Zoë (Thompson) in the trailer. Cue footage of a massive explosion at a home with several people inside. “Two bodies,” says Sarah. “And a disappeared child.”
The two then embark on a mission to uncover the truth. “You have found your way to the heart of something huge,” Zoë tells Sarah. “There is a massive government cover-up.”
The ensemble cast includes Adeel Akhtar, Nathan Stewart-Jarrett, Tom Goodman-Hill, Darren Boyd, Tom Riley, Adam Godley, Sinead Matthews, Ken Nwosu, Fehinti Balogun and Aiysha Hart.
Produced by 60Forty Films, Down Cemetery Road is written by Morwenna Banks (Slow Horses) who also serves as executive producer alongside Jamie Laurenson, Hakan Kousetta and Tom Nash at 60Forty Films, Thompson and Herron. Natalie Bailey (Bay of Fires) serves as lead director for the series.
The eight-episode series premieres globally on Apple TV+ with the first two episodes on Wednesday, October 29, followed by new episodes each Wednesday through December 10.
