The Revenge Club cast and characters: Here’s who brought the Paramount+ thriller to life

The Revenge Club is the kind of thriller that lives and dies by its people, and thankfully, Paramount+ stacked the deck with quite a few stars. The series brings together a sharp ensemble to tell a story about heartbreak, resentment, and the dangerous comfort of shared anger. What begins as a divorce support group slowly mutates into something far darker, and each character carries their own baggage, blind spots, and quietly unhinged motivations.

With a stellar cast, The Revenge Club's biggest weapon is it's ensemble Here's everything you need to know about who plays whom in the thriller, and where you might have seen them before.

Sharon Rooney as Rachel

Sharon Rooney's Rachel arrives in The Revenge Club as the most composed person in the room. She treats her divorce with cool detachment, and is stylish, sociable, and largely unbothered by what she has lost. While others unravel in public, Rachel appears to have already moved on. But beneath the sharp outfits and easy charm sits a darker truth she keeps tightly sealed, even from the people she grows closest to.

Rooney previously starred as Rae in the cult favourite My Mad Fat Diary. She has then worked on shows like Two Doors Down, The Teacher, Zapped, and Daddy Issues. In 2023, she reached a global audience when she appeared opposite Margot Robbie in Barbie as one of the Barbies.

Douglas Henshall as Steve

Douglas Henshall's Steve is a man who understands orders far better than endings. The collapse of his marriage leaves him unmoored as years in the military have trained him to move with purpose, follow command, and believe that every problem has a solution if you apply enough discipline. Divorce offers none of that clarity. When Steve walks into the support group, he embraces hi new family and looks for a purpose.

Henshall is mostly known for his role as DI Jimmy Pérez in the BBC crime drama Shetland. He is also known for playing Nick Cutter in the cult sci fi hit Primeval, and a wide range of television dramas including Outlander, In Plain Sight, Collision, and The Silence.

Amit Shah as Malcolm

Amit Shah's Malcolm is the one person in the room who genuinely believes healing is possible. As the therapist running the divorce and loss support group, he approaches every session with warmth, optimism, and a slightly overeager belief in the power of talking things through. In the trailer he is heard telling the group that they're here to "stop being angry, and start moving on". While the group members wrestle with rage, betrayal, and humiliation, Malcolm keeps reaching for empathy, sometimes missing the mark entirely.

Shah is known for his standout turn as the memorably dodgy pharmacist Faisal Bhatti in Happy Valley. His recent television work includes Mr Bates Vs. The Post Office, as well as Riot Women and Murder Before Evensong. On the film side, he has appeared in Paddington in Peru and Pain Hustlers.
