Filming is set to kick off on Netflix\u2019s adaptation of Richard Osman\u2019s best-selling novel, The Thursday Murder Club, this summer, and now exciting new cast additions<\/a> have been revealed.<\/span><\/p>\n

It was previously announced that Dame Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan, Sir Ben Kingsley and <\/span>Celia Imrie<\/span><\/a> had been cast in the film as the central quartet.<\/span><\/p>\n

And now, <\/span>Deadline<\/span><\/a> has confirmed that <\/span>David Tennant<\/span><\/a> (<\/span>Doctor Who<\/span><\/a>), Daniel Mays (<\/span>The Long Shadow<\/span><\/a>), Naomi Ackie (<\/span>Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance With Somebody<\/span><\/a>), Jonathan Pryce (<\/span>3 Body Problem<\/span><\/a>) and Henry Lloyd-Hughes (<\/span>Archie<\/span><\/a>) have all come on board, too.<\/span><\/p>\n

Adapted from Osman\u2019s novel, the film is set in a peaceful retirement village where a group of four elderly friends \u2013 Elizabeth, Joyce, Ibrahim and Ron \u2013 take on cold cases for fun. <\/span>However, when a property developer is found dead, the four find themselves in the middle of their first live crime.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the most recent episode of his podcast The Rest Is Entertainment, Osman<\/a> teased: \u201cThere\u2019s some great names and some more names coming as well. I think this is the greatest British cast assembled since the [Harry Potter] movies.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Osman previously said of the adaptation when it was announced back in April: \u201c<\/span>I\u2019m so proud of this book, so it is a dream to see The Thursday Murder Club in such incredible hands. From Chris Columbus, to Amblin to Netflix, there are geniuses everywhere I look. And what a cast. I\u2019m pinching myself.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
