He will appear alongside Helen Mirren and Ben Kingsley in the adaption.

The film is based on the best-selling novel written by Richard Osman who is best known for co-hosting quiz show, Pointless.

It was originally released in 2020 and became the fastest-selling adult crime debut in recorded history.

It really took over the crime scene and helped popularise the “cosy crime” genre. Three more novels have been published in the series, which have sold over 10 million copies combined. And a fifth novel is on the way in 2025!

So what can we expect from the film?

Well it follows a group of pensioners who set about solving the mystery of the murder of a property developer in the luxurious Cooper’s Chase retirement village near the fictitious village of Fairhaven in Kent.

It sounds so fun.

Pierce will play former union activist Ron, while Helen will play ex-spy Elizabeth and Ben will play ex-psychiatrist Ibrahim.

Author Richard shared the news on social media and teased more to come.

He wrote: “Been dying to tell you this news for SO long! Joyce reveal coming soon too, and it’s another belter!”

How exciting!
