Emma Thompson was seen on the set of the upcoming Apple TV+ series Down Cemetery Road for the first time on Friday, as she transformed into private detective Zoë Boehm.
The actress, 65, looked worlds away from her usual self while filming scenes for the latest drama, which has been penned by Slow Horses writer Mick Herron.
Her grey hair was styled into a spiky fashion as she sported some dramatic smoky eye makeup to embody the edgy character.
Emma stepped out in a grey T-shirt teamed with jeans, complete with a long leather trench coat with red lining on the inside.
She completed her character’s look with a pair of black loafers and small silver hoop earrings to accessorise.

Dramatic scenes saw Emma embody the detective as she held up a parking ticket, standing next to a vintage grey car.
She wrapped up warm in a hoodie and fleece jacket to check her phone in between takes and stylists made sure to top up the actress’ hair and makeup on set.
Emma stars alongside Ruth Wilson in the upcoming murder mystery, which is an adaptation of Mick’s first novel of the same name, published in 2003 as part of a four-book series.
When a house explodes in a quiet Oxford suburb and a young girl disappears in the aftermath, Sarah Tucker – a young married woman, bored and unhappy with domestic life (Ruth Wilson) – becomes obsessed with finding her.
She enlists the help of private eye Zoë Boehm, who is played by Emma.
Set in Oxford, TV crews have converted part of Bristol University’s library to appear as a police station.
The synopsis for the upcoming series reads: ‘When a house explodes in a quiet Oxford suburb and a girl disappears in the aftermath, neighbour Sarah Tucker becomes obsessed with finding her – and enlists the help of private investigator Zoë Boehm.
‘Zoë and Sarah suddenly find themselves in a complex conspiracy that reveals that people long believed dead are still among the living, while the living are fast joining the dead.’
