As a devoted fan of gripping spy dramas, I must admit that the recent news about the continuation of “Slow Horses” has filled me with unbridled excitement. Having followed the series since its inception in 2022, I can confidently say that it’s become one of the finest espionage shows on television today.


On a recent Friday, Emma Thompson was spotted for the initial time on the set of the forthcoming Apple TV+ show, Down Cemetery Road, where she is portraying the character of private detective Zoë Boehm.

In a striking departure from her typical image, the actress, age 65, appeared noticeably different during the shooting of the recent drama, a script penned by acclaimed author Mick Herron known for his work on ‘Slow Horses’.

She had her gray hair arranged in a spiky style, while she donned bold smoky eye makeup to bring out the edgy persona within her.

Emma exited wearing a gray T-shirt paired with jeans, accessorized with a long leather trench coat featuring red interior lining.

She finished off her character’s appearance by adding a pair of black loafers and tiny silver hoop earrings as accessories.

In a dramatic turn of events, Emma took on the role of the detective, displaying a parking violation notice while standing beside an old, gray automobile.

To keep herself cozy, she donned a hoodie and fleece jacket during breaks from filming, where she checked her phone. On set, the stylists regularly touched up the actress’s hair and makeup.

Emma will be co-starring with Ruth Wilson in the forthcoming murder mystery, derived from Mick’s initial book of the same title, originally published in 2003 and serving as the first installment in a four-volume series.

In a tranquil neighborhood of Oxford, when a house suddenly blows up and a young girl vanishes amidst the chaos, Sarah Tucker – a somewhat dissatisfied young wife (portrayed by Ruth Wilson) – develops an intense fascination with uncovering the girl’s whereabouts.

She enlists the help of private eye Zoë Boehm, who is played by Emma.

In the setting of Oxford, portions of Bristol University’s library have been transformed to resemble a functioning police station for television production purposes.

“In a tranquil Oxford suburb, a house mysteriously blows up, leading to a young girl’s disappearance. Neighbor Sarah Tucker becomes fixated on solving this mystery and turns to private investigator Zoë Boehm for assistance.

Zoë and Sarah discover unexpectedly that they’re caught up in a tangled web of secrets, uncovering evidence that suggests some presumed deceased individuals are actually alive, and many more are rapidly approaching their demise.

Ruth was spotted riding a bicycle through Bristol as she filmed scenes for the show in June.

She donned an electric blue sweater paired with tan corduroy pants, completing her laid-back look with coordinating sneakers.

Currently, Mick is starting the ninth book in the Slough House series – this is his initial encounter with these characters since the television show became popular.

In January, it was announced that the show “Slow Horses,” featuring Gary Oldman as main character Jackson Lamb, has been given the green light for a fifth season.

The acclaimed five-time BAFTA Award nominee received rave reviews from viewers, particularly for its exceptional third season ending. They admired the high-caliber scriptwriting.

Ever since it first aired in 2022, Slow Horses has garnered widespread acclaim for being an exceptional spy series on television, characterized by its compelling combination of suspense, humor, and intrigue.

The entire three-season run of the show has maintained a ‘Certified Fresh’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with praise pouring in from both critics and viewers worldwide.
