Directed by Chris Columbus, the man behind Home Alone and Harry Potter, this murder mystery comedy stars Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan, Ben Kingsley, and Celia Imrie as four sharp-tongued, quick-witted retirees who meet weekly in their peaceful retirement village to solve unsolved murder cases. But when a very real corpse turns up right under their noses, the sleuthing suddenly gets a whole lot more serious—and hilariously chaotic.
The trailer hints at a playful blend of Knives Out-style mystery with a British twist, full of charm, red herrings, and razor-sharp banter. Supporting the stellar leads are heavy-hitters like Naomi Ackie, David Tennant, Jonathan Pryce, Tom Ellis, Richard E. Grant, and Daniel Mays, turning this into a who's who of British (and Bond) royalty. The script, penned by Katy Brand and Suzanne Heathcote, captures the novel’s tone perfectly—witty, heartwarming, and unexpectedly gripping.
Osman’s novel sold over a million copies and has spawned an entire series, but this first film adapts the original story with care and charisma. With Columbus at the helm, expect a crowd-pleasing mix of cozy mystery and cinematic polish—perfect for viewers who want their murders with a side of laughter and a splash of red wine.
Set to premiere on August 28, 2025, The Thursday Murder Club might just be the feel-good murder mystery of the year. Whether you're a longtime fan of the book or just love watching legends like Mirren and Kingsley trade barbs and bullets, this one looks unmissable.
