Fans of clever mysteries and quirky characters have something thrilling to anticipate, as The Thursday Murder Club is officially making its OTT launch.
Based on the bestselling novel by Richard Osman, this eagerly awaited crime-comedy is ready to premiere soon, offering a refreshing blend of suspense, humor, and emotion to the streaming landscape.
This film adaptation will be available exclusively on Netflix starting August 28, 2025.
Situated in a tranquil British retirement community, The Thursday Murder Club follows the unexpected escapades of four lively septuagenarians—Elizabeth, Joyce, Ibrahim, and Ron—who defy age-related stereotypes with their wit, intelligence, and passion for mystery. Each Thursday, the group convenes in a quiet spot within their community to delve into unsolved cases, forming what they affectionately refer to as the Thursday Murder Club.
At the forefront is Elizabeth, a quick-witted former intelligence agent whose past holds many secrets. With her guidance and the varied skills of the group—including Joyce’s sharp attention to detail, Ibrahim’s analytical mindset, and Ron’s savvy instincts—they revisit cold cases for mental challenge and the joy of cracking a good mystery.
However, their laid-back hobby takes an unexpected twist when the body of a local, contentious property developer is suddenly found under suspicious circumstances. No longer mere observers of forgotten crimes, the four friends immerse themselves in a live murder investigation.
With local authorities racing to find leads, the Thursday Murder Club takes the initiative to explore, uncovering hidden truths, deceptions, and unforeseen connections within their seemingly serene village.
As the investigation progresses, what began as a leisurely pastime transforms into a race against time to catch the killer before another life is lost. Filled with charm, dry humor, and a poignant reflection on aging, friendship, and justice, The Thursday Murder Club demonstrates that crime-solving isn’t exclusively for the young—and that often, experience serves as the ultimate detective tool.
