The Thursday Murder Club movie has become a family affair as Richard Osman has confirmed his wife Ingrid Oliver has joined the cast.
On the latest episode of The Rest Is Entertainment podcast, Osman announced the final casting for the movie, which is currently filming in the UK.
His wife Ingrid is playing Joyce's daughter Joanna, although Osman confirmed that it was "not my idea, I have to say, but [writer/director] Chris Columbus's idea".
