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 &#8211; forged exam papers, tarot cons, and rat invasions &#8211; to deadly accidents. As the group&#8217;s plans grow bolder, the line between justice and madness begins to blur &#8211; and someone might just take things too far. <em>The Revenge Club<\/em> is a wickedly fun revenge thriller that dares to ask: what if getting even felt better than falling in love?<\/p>\n<p>The series stars Martin Compston (<em>Line of Duty, Mayflies<\/em>) and Aim\u00e9e-Ffion Edwards (<em>Slow Horses, Peaky Blinders<\/em>) in the lead roles of Emily and Calum, BAFTA and Emmy Award\u00ae winner Meera Syal (<em>Mrs Sidhu Investigates, The Kumars at No. 42<\/em>) as Rita, Sharon Rooney (<em>Barbie, Daddy Issues, Jerk<\/em>) as Rachel, Douglas Henshall (<em>Shetland, Who Is Erin Carter?<\/em>) as Steve, Chaneil Kular (<em>Sex Education, Protection<\/em>) as Tej and Amit Shah (<em>Mr Bates vs. The Post Office, Happy Valley<\/em>) as Malcolm.<\/p>\n<p>Also joining the cast are Owen Teale (<em>Game of Thrones, Line of Duty<\/em>), Aoife Kennan (<em>Vera, The Dumping Ground<\/em>), Rob Malone (<em>The Witcher, Vikings<\/em>), Niamh Walsh (<em>Smother, Jamestown<\/em>), Wil Coban (<em>The Boys in the Boat, Origin<\/em>), Christina Bennington (<em>Halo, The Game<\/em>) and Eoin Duffy (<em>The Dry, The Apprentice<\/em>).<\/p><div id=\"morty-3420249615\" class=\"morty-content_2\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>Alison Jackson and Jess Connell executive produce for the UK division of Gaumont.
