Richard wrote in the caption: “And the 2026 book begins! I mean, it’s just a working title, but it’s got a certain ring to it. Welcome back Amy, Steve and Rosie!”
Fans quickly took to the comments section to share their delight, with one writing: “Best news this year!”

Meanwhile, The Thursday Murder Club fans can look forward to watching the film adaptation from director Chris Columbus in select cinemas from August 22.
The synopsis reads: “Four irrepressible retirees spend their time solving cold case murders for fun, but their casual sleuthing takes a thrilling turn when they find themselves with a real whodunit on their hands.”
The all-star cast includes Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan, Ben Kingsley, Celia Imrie and David Tennant, while Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Entertainment is also producing the film.
Speaking about the adaptation of his novel last year, Osman said: “I’m 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’m pinching myself.”
The Thursday Murder Club is coming to Netflix UK on August 28.
