The Thursday Murder Club OTT release date
This isn¡¯t just your average crime thriller, it is a golden-age murder mystery with serious star power. We are talking Helen Mirren as the suave ex-spy Elizabeth Best, Pierce Brosnan bringing swagger as union man Ron Ritchie, Sir Ben Kingsley playing brainy psychiatrist Ibrahim Arif, and Celia Imrie lighting up the screen as nurse-turned-sleuth Joyce Meadowcraft.

The first stills from the film have just dropped, and yes, the internet is collectively losing it. The images tease our favourite retired mischief-makers in full investigative mode, trench coats, tea, and all. Plus, we get sneak peeks at Naomi Ackie as the no-nonsense police officer Donna and Henry Lloyd-Hughes as everyone's lowkey crush, Bogdan.
The Thursday Murder Club cast
And just when you thought the cast could not possibly get any better, guess who¡¯s joining the murder-mayhem fun? None other than David Tennant, playing the very shady (and possibly very murdery?) businessman Ian Ventham. While his official first-look image is still MIA, fans are already theorising like true crime TikTokers.

Although there is chatter that the film might hit theatres before the Netflix drop, ¨¤ la Netflix¡¯s usual cinema-preview strategy, an official cinema date is still under wraps. Stay tuned and keep those popcorn buckets close.
The Thursday Murder Club is based on a novel
Oh, and before you binge it in August, you might want to revisit (or read for the first time) the original novel. And maybe the sequels too, because Osman¡¯s fifth Thursday Murder Club book drops this September. Yes, it is a whole universe now.
