If you can't get enough of Slow Horses, you'll be just as excited as us to hear that a new series called Down Cemetery Road is coming to Apple TV+ soon! No, it's not the next season of the show, but it is based on a debut book written by the same author, Mick Herron.
Promising to be just as "funny and acerbic" as his other writing, it sounds as if the new drama will be just what we need to watch in between visits to Slough House, especially as there's a Dame and Golden Globe winner in the cast!
Emma Thompson (Sense and Sensibility, Love Actually, Nanny McPhee) plays Zoë Boehm, a struggling private investigator, while Ruth Wilson (The Affair, Luther, Mrs Wilson) stars as Sarah Tucker, a woman who becomes obsessed with the whereabouts of a neighbour's child that she believes has gone missing.
