The Thursday Murder Club's star cast expands

More actors have joined the star cast of The Thursday Murder Club, led by Helen Mirren, Ben Kingsley, and Pierce Brosnan.

Actors David Tennant, Jonathan Pryce, Daniel Mays, Naomi Ackie, and Henry Lloyd-Hughes have on boarded the project directed by Chris Columbus.

The film is based on Richard Osman's eponymous novel published in 2020. The story follows four septuagenarians in a retirement community who solve cold cases for fun. They encounter their first live crime chancing upon the death of a shady property developer.

Amblin managed to win the worldwide rights to the film in a hotly-contested auction where 14 studios took part.

Success of Osman's The Thursday Murder Club led to a series including The Man Who Died Twice (2021), The Bullet That Missed (2022) and The Last Devil to Die (2023). A fifth book is set to be released in 2025 to get included in the list of the four New York Times bestsellers.
