Move Over, Sherlock — Brosnan and Mirren’s Retirees Take the Lead in 'The Thursday Murder Club'

Solving crimes with charm, wit, tea, and quiet rebellion.
What if your nan was better at solving murders than the police? That’s exactly why I’m obsessed with The Thursday Murder Club, and now it’s finally coming to Netflix on 28 August 2025!
Based on Richard Osman’s hit series (4 books out, 5th coming this September), it follows four sharp-witted retirees cracking real-life cases. You don’t have to read the books first, but I’d recommend it — the backstories add so much charm.
With Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan, and Ben Kingsley on board, this cast is perfection. Cosy crime, sharp humour, and a body count?
I’m all in — and you should be too. Honestly, it feels like Cluedo meets Knives Out, but with more cardigans. If you're not watching this with a cuppa, you're doing it wrong.
