The mystery in Oxford is set to deepen as Down Cemetery Road continues its weekly rollout on Apple TV+. The fourth episode, titled “My Friends Don’t Like Me,” is scheduled for release on Wednesday, November 12, 2025. This new installment is part of the show’s eight-episode first season, which will build weekly to a grand finale on December 10.
Fans of the thriller series can expect the plot to dive further into the dangerous situations facing the main characters. Sarah Trafford remains trapped between the manipulative Downey and the shadowy forces that have infiltrated her life, while private investigator Zoë Boehm’s search for the truth pushes her deeper into a web of institutional cover-ups.
When and Where to Watch Episode 4
Down Cemetery Road Episode 4 will be available to stream exclusively on Apple TV+ starting Wednesday, November 12, 2025.
Following the platform’s typical release pattern for new content, the episode often becomes available the evening before the official date in many time zones. For viewers in the United States, this usually means the episode goes live on Tuesday, November 11, at 9:00 p.m. ET / 6:00 p.m. PT. For international audiences, the episode typically becomes accessible late Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning, depending on local time zones.
Story Developments and What to Expect
The previous episode, “Filthy Work,” left viewers on a significant cliffhanger. The story took a dark psychological turn, revealing deeper layers of betrayal and guilt. Zoë Boehm’s investigation took a dangerous turn when she discovered security footage linking Rufus to Joe’s house on the night of the explosion. The episode ended with Zoë breaking into Sarah’s home, creating immediate tension heading into the new chapter.
Episode 4 is expected to continue exploring Sarah’s difficult situation and Zoë’s relentless inquiry into the missing girl and the explosion. The plot will also likely put supporting characters like Amos and Hamza under greater pressure, testing their loyalties and revealing hidden agendas as the peaceful suburban facade is completely dismantled.

The series features a standout cast led by Ruth Wilson as Sarah Trafford and Emma Thompson as Zoë Boehm. The main cast also includes Adeel Akhtar as Hamza Malik, Nathan Stewart-Jarrett as Downey, and Ken Nwosu in the role of Rufus.
The show is an adaptation of the novel by Mick Herron, who also serves as an executive producer. The series was developed for television by Morwenna Banks, with Natalie Bailey as the lead director.
