December 12, 2025

Apple TV announced today that Down Cemetery Road has been renewed for Season 2. The news comes just two days after the thriller wrapped its 8-episode freshman run, which garnered an overall positive reception from both critics and viewers.

"I'm so thrilled that Down Cemetery Road has been enjoyed enough to warrant a second season. 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," said star and executive producer Emma Thompson.

Adapted from author Mick Herron's novel of the same name from the "Zoë Boehm" book series, the series follows a woman who is searching for a missing girl who disappeared after her house exploded in a quiet Oxford suburb. Teaming up with a private investigator, the two find themselves in a complex conspiracy that reveals people long believed dead are still among the living, while the living are fast joining the dead.
