London — Winter 2025. One of the most anticipated holiday films of the year has officially arrived: The Thursday Murder Club: Christmas at Coopers Chase, featuring a legendary ensemble cast of Helen Mirren, Judi Dench, Ian McKellen, Michael Caine, and Olivia Colman. The beloved sleuths return in a festive mystery that blends warmth, humor, and suspense in perfect measure.

⭐ A Legendary Cast Defines the Spirit of Holiday Cinema 2025

Following the success of the bestselling novel and the first film adaptation, the “silver-haired detectives” of Coopers Chase return with renewed energy and irresistible charm.

• Helen Mirren shines as Elizabeth — the sharp-witted former spy who is always two steps ahead.
• Judi Dench captivates as Joyce — the cheerful diarist with a heart of gold and unexpectedly sharp instincts.
• Ian McKellen adds elegance and insight to Ibrahim — the quiet observer with a mind built for puzzles.
• Michael Caine, in what critics call “a beautifully heartfelt holiday performance,” plays Ron — stubborn, fiery, and surprisingly sentimental about Christmas pudding.
• Olivia Colman brings humor and tension to DI Bayley — torn between solving the case and keeping the Club from hijacking her investigation.

🎁 A Dead Body at the Christmas Gala — and the Holidays Take a Sharp Turn

Set in the upscale retirement community of Coopers Chase, the film opens in a glittering Christmas Gala filled with carols, champagne, and good cheer. But when a guest collapses mid-celebration, the festivities come to a sudden halt.

Rather than fear, the Thursday Murder Club feels… delighted.
This is the “unexpected Christmas gift” they didn’t know they were waiting for.

As DI Bayley tries desperately to maintain order, the four amateur sleuths uncover a trail of curious clues: whispers in dim corridors, cryptic gifts beneath the Christmas tree, and long-buried secrets hidden in the heart of Coopers Chase.

❄️ A Story of Friendship, Aging Gracefully, and the Magic of Curiosity

The film is more than a whodunit — it’s a tender portrait of friendship, dignity in aging, and the kind of mischievous spirit that never fades with time.

Between snowflakes, steaming cups of tea, and heartfelt moments under twinkling lights, the film weaves:

• Holiday warmth,
• sharp British wit,
• a classic Agatha Christie–style mystery,
• and the timeless charisma of its iconic cast.

It’s humorous, touching, and full of the small emotional beats that make holiday films so beloved.
