THE HIGHLY ANTICIPATED FILM ADAPTATION OF RICHARD OSMAN'S BESTSELLING NOVEL. 16:12, 29 May 2025 Netflix fans have been left with 'chills' after the first trailer was released
for the film adaptation of The Thursday Murder Club, following a long period of anticipation. The forthcoming release, based on Richard Osman's chart-topping novel, was unveiled today
(May 29), offering fans a sneak peek at what they can expect from their new favourite team of amateur sleuths. The initial footage suggests a blend of Midsomer Murders and Only Murders In
The Building. The storyline revolves around a group of pensioners who fill their time by cracking murder cases. The cast is brimming with stars, including Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan, Sir
Ben Kingsley, and David Tennant. To date, five books in the series have been published. Such has been their success that presenter-turned-author Osman followed them up with a separate murder
mystery series titled We Solve Murders, reports Surrey Live. Although the first trailer for The Thursday Murder Club has now been launched by Netflix, it doesn't reveal too much. At
just over a minute in length, not many details are disclosed about the case the club will be tackling. Article continues below It is revealed that they are probing a cold case which appears
to involve a woman falling out of a window one night in 1973. However, according to the synopsis released by Netflix, when an unexplained death occurs right on their doorstep, their casual
detective work takes an exciting twist as they find themselves faced with a genuine whodunit. Fans didn't hold back their enthusiasm when the much-anticipated trailer dropped. Many were
thrilled that it was released on an actual Thursday. A YouTube commenter was ecstatic, saying: "I honestly cant believe this is finally happening! The trailer gave me chills. I've
loved these books for so long and seeing the characters come to life on screen is incredibly emotional. I'm so attached to them, it almost feels personal. I'm beyond excited to
see how it all unfolds." Get Netflix free with Sky This article contains affiliate links, we will receive a commission on any sales we generate from it. Learn more from £15 Sky Get the

following Mobland, with one fan exclaiming: "Mobland fans in the house? Glad to see Pierce and Helen back together." There was some disappointment too, as a fan pointed out:
"Why is this a movie when I need seven seasons at 12 episodes per season?". The star-laden cast received high praises, with one comment surfacing on social media: "That cast
is amazing, can't wait to see them solve mysteries together on August 28. Sounds fun!". Another fan concurred with the sentiment: "Perfect casting." Yet, one
couldn't resist jokingly mentioning: "It's Knives Out for pensioners." Yesterday (May 28), writer Osman took to Instagram hinting that the trailer would be imminent,
leaving his readers buzzing with excitement. One anxious fan expressed their concern, saying: "I am nervous for the release of the film because I love the characters so much. I worry if
it doesn't feel right it will affect how I read the fifth book." In a lighter tone, another quipped: "My husband has booked our holiday abroad during the week this drops on
Netflix. Seriously considering divorce." Article continues below _THE THURSDAY MURDER CLUB LANDS ON NETFLIX ON AUGUST 28_
