What’s the new Thursday Murder Club book about?
It’s been a quiet year for the Thursday Murder Club. Joyce is busy with table plans and first dances. Elizabeth is grieving. Ron is dealing with family troubles, and Ibrahim is still providing therapy to his favourite criminal. But when Elizabeth meets a wedding guest who’s in trouble, kidnap and death are hot on their heels once more. A villain wants access to an uncrackable code and will stop at nothing to get it. Plunged back into action once more, can the gang solve the puzzle and a murder in time?
When is the new Thursday Murder Club book being published?
It’s not long to wait now as the new book isn’t published until 25 September 2025.
What else is Richard Osman up to?
A film adaptation of The Thursday Murder Club series is underway and will be on screens soon. As far as casting goes, they’ve pulled out the big guns, with acting legends taking on the lead roles.
Helen Mirren is perfectly cast as former spy Elizabeth Best, who is formidable and the brains of the operation; Sir Ben Kingsley takes on the role of softly spoken, reclusive ex-psychiatrist Ibrahim Arif; Pierce Brosnan is headstrong, rough-around-the-edges former union activist Ron Richie; and Celia Imrie plays our favourite character, Joyce Meadowcroft, a former nurse who is kind, funny and should not be underestimated.
While the exact release date of the film is still a closely guarded secret so far, Netflix have confirmed that The Thursday Murder Club will be out in 2025, and it will be coming to cinemas before heading to the streaming service. Richard Osman previously revealed that filming had wrapped on 11 September last year. We can hardly wait!
