Netflix has dropped a first-look photo of The Thursday Murder Club cast to confirm the start of production. Richard Osman’s much-loved book series is being given the big screen treatment, with the all-star cast including Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan, Sir Ben Kingsley and Celia Imrie. The four leads are seen dressed in character in the first-look photo, gathered around Osman on what appears to be the set of the retirement home’s games room – where the characters meet up every Thursday to solve cases. Bridget Jones and The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel star Celia Imrie will be playing the role of Joyce. Mirren will star as former spy Elizabeth alongside Pierce Brosnan as trades union official Ron and Sir Ben Kingsley as psychiatrist Ibrahim. “The Thursday Murder Club is officially in production!” reads the tweet caption shared on the official Netflix X account. The Thursday Murder Club movie started filming on June 27. Other cast members include David Tennant, Naomi Ackie, Jonathan Pryce, Richard E Grant, Danny Mays, Henry Lloyd-Hughes, Tom Ellis, Geoff Bell and Paul Freeman and Sarah Niles. The Thursday Murder Club is the first of Osman’s crime series released in 2020. The story follows four pensioners at the Coopers Chase Retirement Village in Kent as they investigate the murder of a property developer.
