The new season will reunite Zoë Boehm and Sarah Trafford chasing 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. Matters take a deadly turn when they stumble into the path of a brutal serial killer who will stop at nothing to cover up his crimes.
The drama stars Emma Thompson and Ruth Wilson.
Morwenna Banks developed the drama based on the novel by Mick Herron. The showrunner and author executive produce with Thompson, Jamie Laurenson, Hakan Kousetta and Tom Nash. Börkur Sigþórssen will serve as lead director on the second season. 60Forty Films produces.
"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 knockoff Doc Martens again. Thanks to everyone who watched! We are go for the next one and it's all down to you."
"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," added Jay Hunt, Creative Director of Europe, Apple TV.
