Apple TV+ is bringing the chills this fall with “Down Cemetery Road“, a twisty, emotional thriller led by two powerhouse performers: Emma Thompson and Ruth Wilson.
“Down Cemetery Road” Premise
Set in a quiet Oxford suburb, the series kicks off with a shocking house explosion that leaves a young girl missing—setting off a chain of events that’s anything but quiet. Ruth Wilson plays Sarah Tucker, a seemingly ordinary neighbor who becomes obsessed with finding out what happened. Her search leads her to Zoë Boehm, a sharp and reluctant private investigator played by Emma Thompson. As they dig deeper into the case, secrets unravel and danger escalates, proving that even the most peaceful streets can hide dark truths.
Adapted from Mick Herron’s acclaimed Zoë Boehm novels, the series comes from “Slow Horses” writer Morwenna Banks and director Natalie Bailey. It blends the suspense of a classic mystery with emotional character work and unexpected twists—all anchored by stellar performances from its leads.
The show premieres October 29 on Apple TV+ with the first two episodes, followed by weekly drops leading up to the finale on December 10. That slow rollout gives fans time to theorize and savor every twist—perfect for those who love getting wrapped up in a weekly mystery.
With the quality Apple TV+ has become known for (think Severance, Ted Lasso, The Studio), “Down Cemetery Road” is shaping up to be another must-watch. Between the gripping plot, the star power, and the eerie suburban setting, it’s exactly the kind of show that’ll keep you hooked—and guessing—until the very end.
