Thursday Murder Club Netflix release time as it prepares to leave cinemas

The Thursday Murder Club has almost landed on Netflix but exactly when is it going to drop on the streamer?

Richard Osman fans have loved reading his books since his debut novel The Thursday Murder Club was published in 2020, with a fifth book coming out next month.

So understandably, there has been a lot of anticipation around Netflix's film adaptation of The Thursday Murder Club featuring the likes of Helen Mirren and Pierce Brosnan.

Film buffs have been able to delve into Osman's world ahead of subscribers with the movie making its cinematic debut last week on Wednesday, August 20.

But the wait is now over as Netflix fans are next in line to see how The Thursday Murder Club is going to play out on the small screen.

The Thursday Murder Club will be debuting on Netflix on Thursday, August 28, but at what time will depend on where you are in the world.

While the movie is going to be released at the same moment, the time itself will differ due to the various time zones.

Bearing this in mind, The Thursday Murder Club is going to be out just after midnight for those who live by PST (Pacific Standard Time) in America.

It will also be out at 3am EST (Eastern Standard Time) and for UK fans, The Thursday Murder Club is going to be ready to watch at 8am BST (British Summer Time).

As most of Europe is roughly one hour behind the UK, they can expect the film to be dropped on Netflix at around 9am on August 28.

But unlike film fans, Netflix subscribers are going to be treated to something extra as a short film will also be available to watch.

This film is going to focus on Celia Imrie's character Joyce Meadowcroft and Father Mackie, who is played by Fresh Prince of Bel-Air actor Joseph Marcell.

Director Chris Columbus told Radio Times: "We had an entire subplot with Father Mackie that was some of Celia Imrie's best [work]. I mean, Celia Imrie's wonderful in the film, but some of her best scenes were within this sequence.

"So I realised when I finished the film, and I had to cut that sequence, that I could make a short film.

"So I made a short film called The Priest Who Wasn't a Priest and when you watch this film on Netflix, if you want a little more, you can click onto the short, which is about nine or ten minutes long."

The Thursday Murder Club premieres on Thursday, August 28, on Netflix.
