Richard Osman nació el 28 de noviembre de 1970 en Billericay, Essex, Inglaterra. Es un reconocido presentador de televisión, productor, escritor y novelista británico. Estudió política y sociología en la Universidad de Cambridge, donde comenzó a vincularse con la industria del entretenimiento. A lo largo de su carrera televisiva, ha trabajado detrás y delante de cámaras, destacándose como co-creador y presentador del popular concurso televisivo Pointless, así como del programa House of Games.

En el ámbito literario, Osman alcanzó un notable éxito con su debut como novelista en 2020, cuando publicó The Thursday Murder Club (El club del crimen de los jueves), una novela de misterio ambientada en una residencia de jubilados. El libro fue un fenómeno editorial, aclamado por la crítica y el público, y dio origen a una exitosa serie de novelas protagonizadas por un grupo de jubilados detectives. La combinación de humor británico, intriga y calidez humana ha sido clave en su estilo narrativo.
