The new series, Down Cemetery Road, stars Emma Thompson and Ruth Wilson, and was first announced in April 2024.
Herron was speaking exclusively with Radio Times alongside the showrunner of Slow Horses, Will Smith, ahead of the duo's appearance together at the Theakston Old Peculier Crime Writing Festival, which is running from 17th to 20th July.
Of Down Cemetery Road, Herron said: "It stars Emma Thompson and Ruth Wilson. Morwenna Banks has written the series, and she's done a wonderful job. There's quite a lot of overlap in the teams that made Slow Horses and Down Cemetery Road, and what I've seen of it, which is only little bit, is looking absolutely tremendous."

"The reason why I love Slow Horses so much is that as soon as you take a character super seriously, they just pull the rug with something really funny and comedic. And this latest one that I'm doing has got a similar sort of thing going on as well."
