Paramount+ UK & Ireland has revealed a first-look at the upcoming original UK series The Revenge Club, which will premiere exclusively on December 12th. Produced by Gaumont, the six-part series based on the debut novel The Othello Club by J.D. Pennington, and is written for television by Gabbie Asher (The Girlfriend, Sanctuary).

The series follows six lonely, hapless strangers brought together by a divorce support group, each reeling from betrayal and heartbreak. 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 to deadly accidents. As the group’s plans grow bolder, the line between justice and madness begins to blur – and someone might just take things too far.

The series stars Martin Compston (Line of Duty, Mayflies) and Aimée-Ffion Edwards (Slow Horses, Peaky Blinders) in the lead roles of Emily and Calum, BAFTA and Emmy Award Winner Meera Syal (Mrs Sidhu Investigates, The Kumars at No. 42) as Rita, Sharon Rooney (Barbie, Daddy Issues, Jerk) as Rachel, Douglas Henshall (Shetland, Who Is Erin Carter?) as Steve, Chaneil Kular (Sex Education, Accused) as Tej and Amit Shah (Mr Bates vs. The Post Office, Happy Valley) as Malcolm. Also joining the cast are Owen Teale (Game of Thrones, Line of Duty), 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).

Alison Jackson and Jess Connell executive produce for the UK division of Gaumont. Outside the UK & Ireland, the series is produced by Gaumont in association with Fremantle, The series has been created for television by Gabbie Asher (The Girlfriend, Sanctuary, The Tattooist of Auschwitz) who also serves as an Executive Producer alongside J.D.
