The tale of the Shelby family, led by Tommy (Cillian Murphy), has been captivating viewers' imaginations since 2013. The widespread production "Peaky Blinders" had six seasons, during which the Birmingham gang steadily climbed higher and higher in the power hierarchy in Great Britain.
"Peaky Blinders" as a feature-length film
The series' conclusion in 2022 is not the end for "Peaky Blinders." Even before the premiere of the final episodes, series creator Steven Knight announced plans for a feature-length film to conclude the story of Tommy Shelby. As he promised, he delivered.
An official photo of the script for the "Peaky Blinders" movie, written by Steven Knight, has appeared online. We know that Cillian Murphy, fresh off his Oscar-winning role in "Oppenheimer," will play the lead role in the production. As he expressed in an official announcement on Netflix's social media:
- It seems like Tommy Shelby wasn't finished with me... It is very gratifying to be recollaborating with Steven Knight and Tom Harper on the film version of "Peaky Blinders." This is one for the fans - Murphy announced.
Unfortunately, the details of the upcoming film's plot are still unknown, and we don't know which actors from the original cast will be returning. It's hard even to speculate what the new movie will be about, as the series finale (without delving into spoilers) left many open paths regarding the future of Tommy Shelby and company.
"Peaky Blinders" - when is the film's premiere?
As mentioned, the scriptwriter of the production is Steven Knight, and the director is Tom Harper, who had the opportunity to create some of the first episodes of the popular BBC series.
Unfortunately, everyone remains silent about the film's premiere date for "Peaky Blinders." Even if the creators begin filming as early as June 2024, we expect the production to debut on Netflix as soon as 2025.
