Emma Thompson’s ‘Down Cemetery Road’ Is a Streaming Hit on Apple TV

by

If you enjoyed Slow Horses and are waiting for more seasons, Emma Thompson‘s new Apple TV thriller, Down Cemetery Road, might be your next binge-watch. The first two episodes premiered on October 29, 2025—the same day as the Slow Horses season finale—and it’s already a hit with viewers. Despite competition from other new shows, it quickly climbed to the top of Apple TV’s charts.

As a big fan of Apple TV’s book adaptations – they’ve done some really great ones – I wasn’t surprised to hear they were developing another series. This time it’s Mick Herron’s Down Cemetery Road, and it’s especially exciting because it comes from the same author who brought us the fantastic Slow Horses. In fact, Morwenna Banks, who wrote for Slow Horses, is also behind the script for this new show. The story centers around a seemingly normal neighborhood thrown into chaos when a house blows up and a child vanishes – and the TV adaptation hints that there’s a much larger conspiracy unfolding than just a local tragedy.

After a house explodes in a peaceful Oxford neighborhood and a young girl goes missing, her neighbor, Sarah Trafford, becomes determined to find her. She hires private investigator Zoë Boehm to help, and together they uncover a complicated plot. They soon realize people thought to be dead are actually alive, and the line between the living and the dead is dangerously blurred.
