Netflix Joins ‘The Thursday Murder Club’, Chris Columbus & Amblin Entertainment’s Feature Adaptation Of Big-Selling Richard Osman Novel


Netflix has boarded 'The Thursday Murder Club', the Chris Columbus and Amblin Entertainment adaptation of Richard Osman's best-selling novel.

Just days after casting on the flick was confirmed with Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan and Ben Kingsley in lead roles, we can reveal that Netflix is now also attached. The film has been on the boil since September 2020, when Steven Spielberg acquired the adaptation rights from Osman, the British gameshow host, TV exec, screenwriter and novelist. The story follows a group of elderly friends in a retirement home who gather to solve murders for fun, but find themselves caught in a real case.
