Clear your Thursday calendars indefinitely, as the initial trailer for Netflix’s *The Thursday Murder Club* has arrived.

Drawing inspiration from Richard Osman’s cherished cozy crime novel, the film helmed by Chris Columbus welcomes both fans and newcomers to Cooper’s Chase. Within this opulent Kent retirement community, four amateur sleuths investigate cold cases while sipping tea in the drawing room.

Elizabeth (Helen Mirren), Ron (Pierce Brosnan), Ibrahim (Ben Kingsley), and Joyce (Celia Imrie) take pleasure in solving old unsolved mysteries for amusement, but when an actual murder takes place, their detective abilities are genuinely challenged. Their diverse backgrounds in espionage, psychiatry, union activism, and medicine empower them as a formidable unit in pinpointing the perpetrator.

Featuring a screenplay by Katy Brand and Suzanne Heathcote, *The Thursday Murder Club* vows to be as clever, captivating, and character-driven as Osman’s novel. Count me in.

*The Thursday Murder Club* debuts on Netflix August 28.
