The Revenge Club plot sounds devilish and devious, with a host of familiar faces joining the Paramount+ thriller as singletons with scores to settle.

Stars of Line of Duty, Peaky Blinders and Slow Horses have jumped aboard this recently announced series, which has all the markings of a hit.

It’s set in the midst of a divorce therapy group – genius idea! – where the freshly dumped gather to find a therapeutic way forward. However, it doesn’t take long for their dreams of retribution to take hold. Before long, they’re embarking on some less than healthy exploits.

So far, so intriguing – but what else do we know about this dark new series? While production is still in its early days, here’s everything we know so far about The Revenge Club’s plot, cast, episodes, and release date.

What is The Revenge Club about?

The plot of The Revenge Club follows a group of newly single people who join a divorce therapy group.

With “each reeling from betrayal and heartbreak”, these six strangers “quickly transform from therapy-seeking victims into architects of exquisite retribution”. In simpler terms, they want revenge…

According to the show’s official synopsis, the scorned folk soon decide to seek vengeance on those who wronged them. However, when someone is murdered, their cathartic revenge tactics have apparently spiralled into something much darker. And that’s just the beginning…

As the show progresses, we’re told “the line between justice and murder begins to blur”. Has one of their club members taken retaliation to dangerous new heights? It’s something that The Revenge Club will ultimately find out.

Who is in the cast?

When it comes to The Revenge Club cast members, fans will see some familiar faces.

Taking the lead is Line of Duty star Martin Compston as Callum. In addition to playing DS Steve Arnott in the BBC crime drama, Scottish star Compston if also known for his roles in Prime Video‘s The Rig, Vigil series 1, and Traces. He’ll soon replace Richard Armitage in the upcoming series 2 of Red Eye.

Meanwhile, Aimée-Ffion Edwards portrays Emily. Slow Horses fans will know her as Shirley Dander in the brilliant spy drama, but she’s also famous for playing Sophie in hit BBC comedy Detectorists, and Esme Shelby in Peaky Blinders.

Joining the duo in The Revenge Club are Goodness Gracious Me comedian and actor Meera Syal, who plays Rita. Nightsleeper star Sharon Rooney plays Rachel, opposite Shetland actor Douglas Henshall as Steve.

The group is rounded out by Sex Education star Chaneil Kular as Tej, and Amit Shah’s Malcolm. Amit is best known for playing Jasgun Singh in Mr Bates vs. The Post Office.

Who else will star in The Revenge Club?

With the show still in early development, it’s unclear what baggage these recently divorced people will bring. However, we know they’ll be joined by a range of co-stars populating their bitter world.

Among the names already confirmed are Aoife Kennan, known for playing Sophie in Vera, and The Witcher’s Anton (aka Rob Malone). They’ll play Rosa and Leon, two police officers charged with investigating the murders at the centre of the show.

They’ll be accompanied by Wil Coban, who starred in the George Clooney-directed The Boys in the Boat, Jamestown actor Niamh Walsh, and Irish star Eoin Duffy. His recent credits include the Donald Trump biopic The Apprentice.

We’ll have to wait and see how they fit into The Revenge Club plot and storyline.

How many episodes will there be?

There will be six episodes of The Revenge Club, with each episode running at roughly an hour long.

Cameras started rolling in June 2025 and filming is currently underway across the United Kingdom.

Tim Kirkby takes the reins as the show’s lead director. He filmed episodes of Fleabag, while The Red King director Daniel O’Hara will helm subsequent instalments.

Is it based on a book?

The Revenge Club is based on the upcoming book The Othello Club from author JD Pennington. The novel is yet-to-be released.

The Othello Club has been adapted for the screen by Gabbie Asher. She’s the writer behind episodes of Call The Midwife, Riviera, and the 2024 film The Tattooist of Auschwitz.

Although we don’t know how closely the show will stick to the book’s storyline, the synopsis for Pennington’s revenge thriller goes as follows…

“Emily had the perfect life – the perfect job, the perfect house, the perfect husband – before she was blindsided and betrayed and lost it all. Now she’s sitting in a divorce counselling group wondering how she’ll ever feel okay again. What she wants is her old life back, and these group sessions seem to be the only way she’ll be able to move on – past the jealousy, the hurt, and the daydreams of getting revenge.

“It seems everyone in the group is in the same boat: jilted by an ex-partner and struggling to cope. So over post-therapy drinks, the six divorcées come up with the brilliant idea to get a little payback of their own – Strangers-on-a-Train style, with each getting even on another’s behalf. Nothing serious – just enough to disrupt their former partner’s picture-perfect lives.”

How can I watch The Revenge Club? When’s the start date?

We don’t know for sure where the show will air internationally. However, typically, most Paramount+ content also appears on foreign versions of the app.
