Down Cemetery Road, adapted from the novel of the same name, is returning for a second season on Apple TV.
The thriller, based on Mick Herron’s novel from the “Zoë Boehm” book series, stars Emma Thompson and Ruth Wilson. Produced by 60Forty Films, the series is written by Morwenna Banks, who also EPs with Jamie Laurenson, Hakan Kousetta, and Tom Nash at 60Forty Films; Thompson; and Herron. Börkur Sigþórssen will serve as lead director for the second season.
“Audiences around the world fell in love with Down Cemetery Road, and I am glad the unlikely duo of Zoë and Sarah will be back with their unique form of acerbic wit,” said Jay Hunt, creative director for Europe at Apple TV.
“The thought of working with the team again, with wonderful Morwenna Banks in the writer’s seat and the indomitable Ruth Wilson, who is the best and most brilliant co-star any aging Dame could desire, is frankly far more than I feel I deserve,” Thompson said. “Zoë Boehm is a punkishly delicious avatar, and I can’t wait to pull on her knockoff Doc Martens again.”
Herron and Apple TV also partnered on Slow Horses, which was recently renewed for a seventh season.
