Introduction to Thursday Murder Club

The Storyline
The film follows the story of four amateur sleuths who form a club to solve a murder mystery in their quiet retirement village. Mirren plays Elizabeth, a former MI5 agent with a sharp mind and even sharper tongue. Brosnan plays Ron, a retired union leader with a big heart. The group is rounded off by Kingsley as a calm and brilliant psychiatrist, Ibrahim, and Imrie as the endlessly curious and sweet Joyce.
The Director’s Vision
Director Chris Columbus, known for Home Alone, Mrs. Doubtfire, and the first two Harry Potter films, was attracted to the contrast between the warm surroundings of the film and its darker topics. "The idea was to create an age village that we have never seen in film… A place where the audience would like to spend their twilight years," he explains. "This somewhat magical backdrop creates a strong contrast to the violent murders that occur in the film."
Release Date and Expectations
The film is set to premiere on Netflix on August 28, 2025. Fans can expect a cozy crime solution with a mix of British humor, mystery, and murder. The movie promises to be a curvy, warm journey through the quiet dead ends and dark corners of the retirement village.
