A village used in the movie adaptation of The Thursday Murder Club book has been improved using money from the Netflix production crew. Helen Mirren was part of the team that filmed at Aldbury in Hertfordshire during July 2024. In that time, the village was transformed into Fairhaven, the setting of Richard Osman's 2020 murder mystery novel.

Given that it'll be available to watch on Netflix next week, the UK's three major cinema chains won't be screening The Thursday Murder Club. Movies need to have a longer exclusive window in cinemas (generally at least 30 days between theatrical and home release) to be shown in the major chains.

Chris Columbus’ new movie stars Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan, Ben Kingsley, Celia Imrie, David Tennant and Naomi Ackie
