The stacked cast is led by a quartet of legends: Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan, Sir Ben Kingsley, and Celia Imrie.
Mysteries don't get much cozier than The Thursday Murder Club, Netflix's new adaptation of Richard Osman's best-selling novel.
Chris Columbus, director of Home Alone and the first two Harry Potter films, helms the comedic caper, which follows an amiable gang of gumshoes who spend their golden years investigating cold cases. When a murder takes place at the Cooper's Chase retirement village -- their backyard -- they decide to put their skills to the test.
The cast is led by a quartet of legends: Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan, Sir Ben Kingsley, and Celia Imrie, all seasoned veterans of film and television with decades of experience. "When it came to The Thursday Murder Club, there were four people that we wanted, [and our] first four choices agreed to do the film," said Columbus in an interview with Entertainment Weekly.
Below, we dig into the central foursome, as well as the equally starry supporting cast. Read on for EW's Thursday Murder Club cast and character guide.
