Netflix has released a new murder mystery, and it has already made a strong mark with a near-perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes. The streamer, known for its vast catalog of originals, continues to prove that its whodunits can stand beside its biggest action and horror hits. Over the years, titles like Glass Onion and the Adam Sandler-led Murder Mystery films have become familiar names in this space, and now another entry has joined the lineup.
The Thursday Murder Club Comes To Netflix
The Thursday Murder Club is the latest addition, adapted from Richard Osman’s bestselling novel and directed by Chris Columbus, the filmmaker behind the early Harry Potter films. The story follows a group of retirees who spend their time investigating unsolved crimes until they find themselves caught up in a fresh murder case.
The cast brings together a remarkable mix of talent, including Helen Mirren, Ben Kingsley, Jonathan Pryce, Richard E. Grant, Pierce Brosnan, Celia Imrie, David Tennant, Naomi Ackie, and Tom Ellis.
