First-look images for The Revenge Club, a "darkly comic" six-part series, have teased what fans can expect ahead of its release on Paramount+ next month. The show will premiere on the streaming service on 12 December and is based on The Othello Club, the debut novel by J.D. Pennington.
It has been adapted for TV by Gabbie Asher, known for her work on The Girlfriend.
Per a synopsis, the series follows "six lonely, hapless strangers brought together by a divorce support group, each reeling from betrayal and heartbreak".
It continues: "With little in common beyond their emotional baggage, they form an unlikely bond and come up with a wildly misguided idea: to take revenge on the people who broke their hearts.
"What starts as a cathartic outlet quickly spirals into something far more chaotic, as their retribution escalates from petty pranks - forged exam papers, tarot cons, and rat invasions - to deadly accidents.
