Created by Steven Knight, the gritty historical drama series aired on Netflix for six seasons and follows the Peaky Blinders crime gang from 1919 to 1934, following the aftermath of the First World War. The new film takes the characters to World War II.
Knight recently spoke about the "stunning" cast at the RTS London Convention, noting that the film is set "in World War II and it's really good."
The continuation of the multi-award winning series is written by Knight. He produces alongside Murphy, Guy Heeley and Patrick Holland. Executive producers are Caryn Mandabach, Tom Harper, David Kosse, Jamie Glazebrook and Andrew Warren. The film is made in collaboration with BBC Film.
The premiere date for the Peaky Blinders film has not yet been announced.
