You won’t want to miss Ruth Wilson’s “engaging” new thriller set to be ‘expectedly suspenseful’

by

Ruth Wilson is set to release a new thrilling series, inspired by an intriguing novel that should definitely be on your list to watch.

The novel titled “Down Cemetery Road” was initially penned by Mick Herron, the writer known for his work on “Slow Horses“, and it was actually his debut publication all the way back in 2003.

As noted by The Washington Post, Herron’s style is both stylish and captivating. Meanwhile, The New York Times Book Review commented that Herron does not tell suspense stories in a typical manner (as reported by Amazon).

What to Read Next

As an enthusiastic viewer, I’m excited to share that the narrative unfolds around a neighbor of mine, who embarks on a journey with a private investigator to uncover the mystery surrounding a missing girl. This gripping tale is being brought to life by Apple TV+, the same team that previously offered us a sneak peek into its episodes.

As a gaming enthusiast diving into the world of TV shows, I’m thrilled to mention that the series I’m about to explore is brought to life by none other than the Oscar-winning actress Emma Thompson. The brainchild behind this production is Morwenna Banks, the mastermind who penned the novels from ‘Slow Horses’. Additionally, the talented Natalie Bailey, recognized for her work on ‘Bay of Fires’, directs this production. Can’t wait to see it unfold!

In addition to Slow Horses’ Jamie Laurenson and Hakan Kousetta, as well as Hijack’s Tom Nash, Banks, Herron, and Thompson also serve as executive producers. Furthermore, 60Forty Films, the production company behind both Slow Horses and Hijack, is once again producing this project.

I’m thrilled to announce that I can’t wait for you all to experience ‘Down Cemetery Road’, a masterpiece that truly embodies the witty and sharp style of Mick Herron’s writing. This captivating story will be brought to life on Apple TV+, with an exceptional cast that promises an unforgettable viewing experience.

Emma Thompson and Ruth Wilson are set to create a must-watch counterpart to the series Slow Horses on our platform.
