Down Cemetery Road release schedule: When is episode 5 on Apple TV?
When do new episodes of the Mick Herron adaptation series get released on Apple TV?
Slow Horses fans have a new favourite show in fellow Mick Herron adaptation Down Cemetery Road, which enlists the talent of more screen icons for another thrilling tale.
As per the synopsis: "When a house explodes in a quiet Oxford suburb and a girl disappears in the aftermath, neighbour Sarah Trafford (Ruth Wilson) becomes obsessed with finding her and enlists the help of private investigator Zoë Boehm (Emma Thompson).
"Zoë and Sarah suddenly find themselves in a complex conspiracy that reveals that people long believed dead are still among the living, while the living are fast joining the dead."
Co-stars Thompson and Wilson have praised the story for featuring two characters at its centre who wouldn't typically be seen in this kind of story.
"[Zoë and Sarah] are very unusual characters; Sarah doesn't really fit into the genre," said Wilson in an interview with RadioTimes.com.
