Netflix has unveiled a premiere date and a set of first-look photos for The Thursday Murder Club, its adaptation of the international bestseller by Richard Osman from director Chris Columbus. The film, starring Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan and Ben Kingsley, is set to premiere August 28. Adapted for the screen by Katy Brand and Suzanne Heathcote, The Thursday Murder Club follows four irrepressible retirees – Elizabeth (Mirren), Ron (Brosnan), Ibrahim (Kingsley) and Joyce (Celia Imrie) – who spend their time solving cold case murders for fun. When an unexplained death occurs on their own doorstep, their casual sleuthing takes a thrilling turn as they find themselves with a real whodunit on their hands. The latest film to be produced through a partnership between Netflix and Amblin Entertainment, pic also stars Naomi Ackie, Daniel Mays, Henry Lloyd-Hughes, Tom Ellis, Jonathan Pryce, David Tennant, Paul Freeman, Geoff Bell, Richard E. Grant and Ingrid Oliver.

Screencaptures from the remaining “1923” episodes four to seven have been to the photo gallery, this time with many thanks to the fantastic FanCaps for posting them in the first place. The season 2 finale of 1923 has amassed 14M views in the week since it debuted on Paramount+, per parent company Paramount Global. That’s the biggest audience ever for the series, marking a 41% versus the Season 1 finale audience of 10M. This caps a successful season of growth for the Yellowstone prequel with Season 2 averaging a 46% increase over the Season 1 audience, according to Paramount. Paramount Global now defines “viewers” as total watch time divided by run time. Deadline has denoted this metric as “views,” similar to reporting from other streamers like Netflix and Disney+, given that this is an estimation of the individual views, rather than a calculation of how many people were actually watching. The series was pretty buzzy on social this season as well, delivering eight times the social views of the first season with 163M.

Screencaptures from the second and third episodes of “1923”’s second season have been added to the photo gallery. Many thanks to KissThemGoodbye for posting them in the first place. All episode pages for season 2 have been added to the career page as well, featuring in-depth synopsis, recaps and behind-the-scenes videos.

Things get contentious at the courthouse; Spencer stays in Galveston longer than he desires; Mother Nature makes her presence known. Alexandra runs into trouble while travelling alone; making enemies along the way, Father Renaud and Marshal Kent close in on Teonna.

Yesterday, Helen Mirren was among the selected guests to attend a preview of the new Cartier exhibition at the V&A – an evening of celebration for the historic jewellers, unveiling a dazzling exhibition in the finest decorative and arts museum in the world. A couple of pictures have been added to the photo gallery, alongside new stills from Sunday’s upcoming episode of “MobLand”. Also, a clip from the episode has been added to the video archive.

According to Deadline, Guy Ritchie seems to have delivered Paramount+ a certified hit with his latest series. “MobLand” premiered March 30 to 2.2 million viewers for the first episode, becoming the streamer’s biggest global series launch ever, per Paramount Global. “MobLand is a runaway success thanks to the visionary work of Guy, Jez, Ronan and David Glasser and brought to life by the exceptional Tom Hardy, Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren who transport us into a world audiences clearly cannot get enough of,” Chris McCarthy, Paramount Co-CEO and President and CEO, Showtime/MTV Entertainment Studios, said in a statement. “MobLand is yet another proof point for the power of our differentiated model – fewer, bigger, breakthrough series that can cut through the clutter and also builds on our 2024 record success where we finished as the #2 SVOD for Original Series time spent viewing.” It now joins 1923 and Landman as the top three launches in Paramount+ history. MobLand claims a spot on that list from Tulsa King. MobLand follows Brosnan’s character, who is the head of an organized crime family, fighting for power within a global crime syndicate. The series stars Tom Hardy, Helen Mirren, Paddy Considine, Joanne Froggatt, Lara Pulver, Anson Boon, Mandeep Dhillon, Jasmine Jobson, Geoff Bell, Daniel Betts, Lisa Dwan and Emily Barber. MobLand is executive produced and directed by Ritchie. It’s his first TV series for Paramount+.

Helen Mirren is Paramount+’s current poster girl with not one but two leading roles in their series schedule. While “1923” will be ending next Sunday, “MobLand” has just debuted its first episode, so there’s more to look forward to. Additional production stills, promotionals and on-set pictures for both shows have been added to the photo gallery.

My apologies for not covering “1923” on a weekly base with recaps and screencaptures, but hang on, we’ll get there. In the meantime, Taylor Sheridan’s 1923 is barreling towards an epic finale, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The second season of the Yellowstone prequel will end with an explosive two-hour finale event – double its usual running time – when it releases Sunday, April 6. Paramount+ had not confirmed an episode count when announcing the second season of the prequel series. Season one had eight episodes. All season two episodes are written by creator Sheridan and directed by Ben Richardson. The season two finale, titled “A Dream and A Memory,” follows a killing spree in the penultimate episode. That episode, titled “The Mountain Teeth of Monsters,” carried with it a body count of seven dead characters. So far, 1923 has been a ratings hit for the streamer. The season two premiere delivered 17 million global viewers and the second season is on track to outpace the first in viewership by 56 percent, per the streamer. Sklenar has said he’s always known how 1923 would end. “It was one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever read in my life, truly,” he previously told The Hollywood Reporter of the season two finale. Paramount+ has not confirmed if season two will be the final season of 1923.

On Thursday, Tom Hardy, Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren were on hand to celebrate the global premiere of Guy Ritchie’s “MobLand” in London. MobLand stars Brosnan as the Harrigan family head, crime boss Conrad, with Mirren playing his influence-wielding wife, Maeve. Brosnan received the script from Ritchie last summer while he was working with Mirren on their upcoming movie “The Thursday Murder Club” and the two agreed to embark on the project. The experience marked a first for Brosnan, who said shooting on the series had only wrapped the day before the premiere. “This is bonkers. I’ve never had something like this happen in life where you work for five months, finish and then the next night you’re on the red carpet. But that’s the way the world is going – fast,” he said. Pictures from the premiere have been added to the photo gallery, alongside new production and promotional stills as well as international key-art.

Various tv guides and articles on Sunday’s premiere of “MobLand” have been added to the photo gallery, alongside some additional scans for “1923” from February. For a complete list of updates, check the list below.

As we’re probably (hopefully) heading into a week full of promotion for Sunday’s premiere of MobLand on Paramount+ (so far, no talkshow appearances have been announced), a batch of vintage magazine articles have been added to the photo gallery. Among the highlights are some great cover stories from the ’80s and ’90s as well as a profile in Elle with the memorable headline “The Thinking Man’s Blond Bombshell”. A list of all updates can be found below. Enjoy.
