Richard Osman’s The Thursday Murder Club reveals impressive cast including Doctor Who legend and Line of Duty star

THE Thursday Murder Club has revealed its impressive cast including a Doctor Who legend and former James Bond star.

The new film is based on Richard Osman's novel that was released four years ago.

It centres around a group of pensioners who go about solving the murder of a property developer.

And now Netflix has revealed the A-list cast who will star in the movie adaption of the hit book.

Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan, Sir Ben Kingsley, and Celia Imrie have all signed up for the film.

All four will play the OAPs as they gather to solve murders for 'fun' before getting caught up in a real case.

The stars will be joined by Doctor Who legend David Tennant as well as Jonathan Pryce and Naomi Ackie.

Line of Duty's Daniel Mays and Inbetweeners star Henry Lloyd-Hughes complete the lineup.

Speaking about the confirmed cast, Richard Osman said: "There's some great names and some more names coming as well.

"I think this is the greatest British cast assembled since the [Harry Potter] movies."

Netflix have yet to reveal when the title will drop on the platform, but it's not expected to be this year.

Richard, 53, is known for various TV projects both on and off camera.

He presents own series House of Cards on the BBC and also co-hosts game show Pointless with Alexander Armstrong.
