Emma Thompson's 'Down Cemetery Lane' Draws 'Slow Horses' Comparisons
Emma Thompson's latest role in 'Down Cemetery Lane' is drawing comparisons to Gary Oldman's performance in 'Slow Horses'. The Apple TV+ series premieres on 29 October, with two initial episodes followed by weekly releases.
Thompson plays Zoë Boehm, an unconventional private investigator who takes on a complex case involving a mysterious house explosion in an Oxford suburb. She is approached by Sarah Tucker (Ruth Wilson), who believes a child living in the house is unaccounted for and suspects a government cover-up. The trailer hints at Sarah going on the run while seeking to expose the truth with Zoë's help.
The series is described as coming from some of the same creative team behind 'Slow Horses', including Mick Herron, the author of the original books behind 'Slow Horses'. Herron is also credited as the writer of 'Down Cemetery Lane', suggesting a similar dark humour and intricate plotlines.
'Down Cemetery Lane' premieres on Apple TV+ on 29 October, promising a gripping mystery with a talented cast led by Emma Thompson. Fans of 'Slow Horses' will find familiar creative minds behind the scenes, hinting at another engaging series.
