AppleTV+ Drops First Trailer for 'Down Cemetery Road' and It Looks Deadly Good

AppleTV+ just dropped the trailer for its latest thriller series Down Cemetery Road and yes, it’s as moody and mysterious as you’d hope.

The streaming giant has released the first trailer for Down Cemetery Road, a twisty new thriller led by the powerhouse duo of Emma Thompson and Ruth Wilson. With an explosion, a missing girl, and a whole lot of secrets bubbling beneath the surface, this is not your average British tea-time mystery.

Emma Thompson and Ruth Wilson Lead a Star-Studded Cast

Yes, you read that right. Emma Thompson plays a private investigator named Zoë Boehm (and also executive produces), while Ruth Wilson takes on the role of Sarah Trafford, a neighbor-turned-obsessed amateur sleuth. The two team up when a house goes boom and a girl vanishes into thin air in a sleepy Oxford suburb. What follows is a conspiracy so tangled that even your group chats might look simple by comparison.

Joining them is a stacked cast featuring Adeel Akhtar, Nathan Stewart-Jarrett, Tom Goodman-Hill, Darren Boyd, and basically every British actor you’ve seen in a gritty drama in the past five years. In other words, expect quality.

From the Team Behind Slow Horses

If you’re still not sold, here’s another tasty tidbit. The series is written by Morwenna Banks of Slow Horses fame and based on the book by Mick Herron, who also created the Slough House universe. Natalie Bailey, who directed Bay of Fires, helms the project. This series doesn’t just want to be your next binge—it wants to be your next obsession.

When and Where to Watch Down Cemetery Road

Down Cemetery Road premieres globally on AppleTV + with the first two episodes dropping October 29. New episodes will air every Wednesday through December 10. So go ahead and block off your calendar now. You weren’t doing anything productive anyway.

Final Thoughts: Is This Your Next Thriller Fix?

Between the explosive mystery, high-caliber cast, and sharp writing, Down Cemetery Road has all the makings of Apple TV Plus’s next big hit. If you're into clever plots, complex characters, and British accents that could cut glass, this one's for you.
