Apple TV Renews Down Cemetery Road for S2

Down Cemetery Road, starring Emma Thompson and Ruth Wilson, has been renewed for a second season by Apple TV.

“I’m so thrilled that Down Cemetery Road has been enjoyed enough to warrant a second season,” said Thompson. “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. Zoë Boehm is a punkishly delicious avatar, and I can’t wait to pull on her knock-off Doc Martens again. Thanks to everyone who watched! We are going for the next one, and it’s all down to you.”

The series is adapted from Mick Herron’s novel of the same name. Produced by 60Forty Films, Down Cemetery Road is written by Morwenna Banks, who also serves as executive producer alongside Jamie Laurenson, Hakan Kousetta and Tom Nash at 60Forty Films, Thompson and Herron. Börkur Sigþórssen will serve as lead director for the second season.

Season two reunites Zoë Boehm (Thompson) and Sarah Trafford (Wilson) as they chase down another twisted mystery. After a woman falls in front of a train, Zoë is called in to investigate, but this seemingly simple case soon upends her life as she and Sarah find themselves navigating the glamorous but ruthless world of black market antiquities.

“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 of Europe at Apple TV.
