Murder, Mayhem & Bingo Nights
Netflix is bringing Richard Osman’s bestselling mystery novel The Thursday Murder Club to life in dazzling fashion this August, and it’s stacked with some of Britain’s finest acting talent. Directed by Harry Potter and Home Alone veteran Chris Columbus, this cozy crime comedy hits UK cinemas on August 22, 2025, and arrives worldwide on Netflix on August 28.
Retirement Just Got Dangerous
Set in a seemingly peaceful retirement village, the film follows four quirky residents, Elizabeth (Helen Mirren), Ron (Pierce Brosnan), Ibrahim (Ben Kingsley), and Joyce (Celia Imrie), who meet weekly to solve cold cases. But when a real murder lands on their doorstep, their hobby takes a thrilling turn.
A Killer Cast
This is no ordinary sleuthing squad. Mirren plays a sharp ex-spy, Brosnan a fiery former union leader, Kingsley a brainy psychiatrist, and Imrie a deceptively sweet nurse. They’re joined by Naomi Ackie, Tom Ellis, Daniel Mays, David Tennant, Jonathan Pryce, and more.
Don’t Miss It
Whether you’re a fan of Osman’s novels or new to the mystery, The Thursday Murder Club promises to be one of 2025’s most delightful screen gems. Clever, cozy, and full of heart, this is one club you’ll want to join.
