Netflix is welcoming A-list stars including David Tennant (Doctor Who), Jonathan Pyrce (The Two Popes), Noami Ackie (Blink Twice), Daniel Mays (Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget), and Henry Lloyd-Hughes (Killing Eve) who are all set to star in Amblin and Netflix’s crime comedy movie The Thursday Murder Club. Along with them, Helen Mirren, Ben Kingsley, Pierce Brosnan, and Celia Imrie will also be joining the cast.

The filming of the project is confirmed to begin late this month. The Thursday Murder Club is a crime comedy directed and written by Chris Columbus. Based on Richard Osman’s 2020 novel of the same name, the story centers around a group of friends in a retirement home who form a club to solve murders for fun, only to find themselves entangled in a real-life case. The club’s four members are portrayed by Helen Mirren as Elizabeth, a former spy, Ben Kingsley as Ibrahim, an ex-psychiatrist, Pierce Brosnan as Ron, a former union activist, and Celia Imrie as Joyce, an ex-nurse.

The movie will be produced by Jennifer Todd and Chris Columbus and executive produced by Holly Bario, Jeb Brody, Eleanor Columbus, and Jo Burn. It will be the latest project produced under the partnership between Netflix and Amblin, which also includes the upcoming Carry-On, starring Jason Bateman and Taron Egerton.
