Uncover Secrets with Emma Thompson and Ruth Wilson in 'Down Cemetery Road' on AppleTV+
Emma Thompson and Ruth Wilson star in the upcoming AppleTV+ series "Down Cemetery Road," set to premiere on October 29, 2025.

The duo's investigation takes them into the halls of power, uncovering secrets along the way. The irreverent tone of the trailer sets the series apart from traditional detective fiction, with a stellar cast including Adeel Akhtar, Nathan Stewart-Jarrett, and Tom Goodman-Hill.
Thompson, known for her roles in "Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy" and "Dead of Winter," will also star in the upcoming surreal mystery "Three Bags Full: A Sheep Detective Movie" alongside Hugh Jackman. Wilson, who recently portrayed journalist Emily Maitlis in "A Very Royal Scandal," has a lineup of projects including the horror film "Family," the 1980s-set AIDS drama "The Book of Ruth," and the romantic thriller "Andorra."
"Down Cemetery Road" is based on the novel of the same name by Mick Herron and shares creative DNA with the hit series "Slow Horses." The show is written and executive produced by Morwenna Banks, who also contributed to the adaptation of "Slow Horses" for AppleTV+. Fans can look forward to the premiere of "Down Cemetery Road" on AppleTV+ on October 29, with updates available on Collider.
