The Thursday Murder Club Is on the Case
Richard Osman’s novel is coming to the screen — and it has a killer cast.

JULY 12, 2024


Retirement homes are supposed to be for, well, retirement. But rest, relaxation, and pinochle aren’t in the cards for one set of seniors. This group of unlikely sleuths has uncovered a murder case, and they’re willing to risk their lives to solve it. They’re The Thursday Murder Club, and they’re coming to Netflix in a new movie. Based on the bestselling novel by Richard Osman, this is a whodunit with teeth — false ones, of course.

Read on for a more thorough investigation of the new Netflix/Amblin coproduction, written and directed by Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone filmmaker Chris Columbus. And keep an eye out the lounge window for The Thursday Murder Club.

What is The Thursday Murder Club about?
The story follows a group of friends in a retirement home who gather to solve murders for fun but find themselves caught in a real case.

Sir Ben Kingsley, Pierce Brosnan, Helen Mirren, Celia Imrie, and author Richard Osman.
