What To Expect In Season 2?
‘Down Cemetery Road‘ is produced by 60Forty Films, with Jamie Laurenson, Hakan Kousetta and Tom Nash, and Thompson serves as the executive producer along with the book’s author, Mick Herron, and Banks, who wrote its live-action script.
Season two of the series itself will be directed by Börkur Sigþórssen. The story will follow the continuing journey of Zoë Boehm (Thompson) and Sarah Trafford (Wilson) to uncover another mystery case, after the case of a woman who fell in front of a train exposed the cruel world of black market antiques. The story becomes even more tense when the two accidentally stumble upon a brutal serial killer who will do anything to cover up his crimes.
Regarding this announcement, the star and executive producer Emma Thompson said, “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.”
Jay Hunt, the creative director of the site’s EU TV, adds, “Audiences around the world fell in love with ‘Down Cemetery Road’ and I am glad the unlikely duo of Zoë and Sarah will be back with their unique form of acerbic wit.”
