The six-episode series, described as a darkly humorous revenge thriller, stars Aimée-Ffion Edwards, Meera Syal, Sharon Rooney, Niamh Walsh, Amit Shah, and Chaneil Kular. Gabbie Asher created the show.

The series, described as darkly comedic, centers around six people who are struggling with heartbreak and betrayal. They meet in a divorce support group and, despite their individual pain, unexpectedly form a close connection through shared experiences.

They hatch a plan to get back at those who hurt them, but what begins as a way to feel better quickly turns into a messy and out-of-control situation as their desire for revenge grows.

The group’s activities range from harmless jokes and minor scams to dangerous incidents, and as their schemes get more ambitious, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to tell right from wrong. Will anyone cross the line and go too far?

The new film, The Revenge Club, starring Christina Bennington and Wil Coban, explores a provocative idea: could revenge be more satisfying than romance?

Sebastian Cardwell, a leader at Paramount+ UK, described the new series, The Revenge Club, as a clever, visually appealing, and darkly humorous thriller with a talented cast and crew.

Producer Jess Connell praised creator Gabbie’s work on the emotionally gripping thriller, saying it will connect with anyone who’s experienced heartbreak. She also described the original novel by Pennington as ‘beautifully engaging’.

The Revenge Club will premiere on Paramount+ on 12 December.
