🔍 THE THURSDAY MURDER CLUB (2025) – Retirement Is Peaceful. Until There's a Body.

They’ve lived full lives—now they’re solving other people’s endings.

The Thursday Murder Club (2025) brings Richard Osman’s bestselling mystery novel to life in a charming, clever, and surprisingly sharp crime-comedy adaptation. Set in a quiet retirement village in the English countryside, this film flips the genre on its head by making its most unlikely detectives a group of witty pensioners—with a shared love for cold cases and a knack for getting into trouble.

The story follows four quirky residents: ex-spy Elizabeth, retired nurse Joyce, former psychiatrist Ibrahim, and ex-trade unionist Ron. Every Thursday, they meet in the Jigsaw Room to solve unsolved murders. But when a real killing happens close to home, the group quickly goes from casual sleuths to central players in a twisted, very current mystery. With the police baffled and suspects piling up, the retirees use charm, intuition, and more than a few secrets of their own to crack the case.

What sets The Thursday Murder Club apart isn’t just the mystery—it’s the heart. The film balances humor and intrigue with touching reflections on aging, friendship, and the surprising ways people remain vital long after the world stops noticing them. The cast—full of veteran actors with perfect comedic timing—makes every moment a delight.

With its mix of Knives Out–style misdirection and British warmth, The Thursday Murder Club is both a feel-good mystery and a love letter to lives fully lived. Getting old has never looked so dangerous—or so much fun.
