Paramount+ UK have commission new mystery thriller The Revenge Club (w/t), based on the upcoming debut novel The Othello Club, by J.D. Pennington.

The series stars Aimée-Ffion Edwards (Slow Horses, Peaky Blinders) and Martin Compston (Line of Duty, Mayflies, The Nest), Aoife Kennan (Vera, The Dumping Ground), Rob Malone (The Witcher, Vikings), Niamh Walsh (Smother, Jamestown), Wil Coban (The Boys in the Boat, Origin), Christina Bennington (Halo, The Game) and Eoin Duffy (The Dry, The Apprentice).

We’re thrilled to be part of this gripping project and to champion it as a standout addition to our expanding slate of bold, original UK content."
