Retirement homes are supposed to be for rest and relaxation, but Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan, Ben Kingsley, and Celia Imrie take it upon themselves to solve a whodunit in The Thursday Murder Club.
Co-produced by Netflix and Amblin, the comedic murder-mystery streams August 28 on Netflix. Watch the teaser below.
Chris Columbus (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, Home Alone) directs from a script by Katy Brand (Good Luck to You, Leo Grande) and Suzanne Heathcote (“Fear the Walking Dead”), based on Richard Osman‘s 2020 bestselling novel of the same name.
Four irrepressible retirees — an ex-spy (Mirren), an ex–union activist (Brosnan), an ex-psychiatrist (Kingsley), and an ex-nurse (Imrie) — spend their time solving cold case murders for fun, but their causal sleuthing takes a thrilling turn when they find themselves with a real whodunit on their hands.
“There’s a wonderful mystery at its core, so mystery fans will be very happy,” says Columbus. “But thematically it’s interesting that we’ve got four elderly people who are living in a retirement community and who are fascinated by death and murder. They are facing their own demise, yet at the same time they are obsessed with studying cold cases. I fell in love thematically with that. It’s comedic, but it’s also very emotional.”
Naomi Ackie, Daniel Mays, Henry Lloyd-Hughes, Tom Ellis, Jonathan Pryce, David Tennant, Paul Freeman, Geoff Bell, Richard E. Grant, and Ingrid Oliver round out the cast.
