Move over, Slough House, there\u2019s a new Mick Herron-based drama in town. Apple TV+ has released the first trailer for its forthcoming series\u00a0Down Cemetery Road<\/a>,\u00a0which, in many ways, feels like nothing so much as the female-led answer to the streamer\u2019s hit spy series\u00a0Slow Horses<\/a>. Based on a different set of Herron novels, The Oxford Investigations Series<\/a>, the eight-part drama features British acting royalty Emma Thompson (Matilda the Musical<\/a>) as Zo\u00eb Boehm, a disaffected private eye with even fewer resources than the infamous misfits of MI-5.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The story follows art restorer Sarah Tucker (Ruth Wilson), who enlists Boehm\u2019s help when a young girl disappears following an explosion in a neighborhood home. The investigation sees the duo immediately embroiled in a major conspiracy, which, if the trailer is anything to go by, may include a \u201cmassive government cover-up\u201d and puts their lives in danger.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In an interview with TV Insider<\/a>, Wilson cites Thompson\u2019s presence as a primary reason she was interested in the show. \u201cAs soon as we got together, it was like, OK, this is where the show is. It\u2019s this dynamic, these two women, they\u2019re hilarious. She\u2019s such a good energy on set. She\u2019s so brilliant. She\u2019s kind of playful and easy, and everything is just fun,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019ve loved her work for so long, so managing to work alongside her and be with her and find some really quirky dynamic between the two characters was really fun. What we\u2019d built [is] interesting because we\u2019d built our own journeys prior to that. The two characters worked so well. I loved it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Move over, Slough House, there\u2019s a new Mick Herron-based drama in town.
