The Thursday Murder Club, based on Richard Osman's novel of the same name, is set to premiere on Netflix on 28 August. The film, which has released a full trailer, features Helen Mirren as Elizabeth Best, a former spy who collaborates with other amateur detectives to solve cold cases.

Elizabeth is married to Stephen, a retired academic who has travelled extensively and authored several scholarly books. Now in retirement, he enjoys his solitude at home and relishes a good game of chess. Sadly, Stephen is showing early signs of dementia, leading to occasional confusion.

Actor Jonathan Pryce revealed why he was so eager to join the Netflix adaptation of Osman's book. READ MORE: Netflix shares exciting Thursday Murder Club announcement for fans in Manchester READ MORE: Netflix's
