“I’m excited to see the cameras rolling on this new chapter in the Peaky Blinders story, set during World War II,” said Knight to Netflix. “The country is at war as are, of course, our Peaky Blinders.”

The film is directed by Tom Harper, to whom we already owe several episodes of the series which was entitled to six seasons broadcast between 2013 and 2022 on the English channel BBC. BBC Film and Netflix are also associated with the production of this feature film.

A growing cast

Aside from Murphy, it's not yet clear specifically which actors from the original series will be returning for the Netflix film. On the other hand, we know the identity of several new stars who will cross paths with the Birmingham gang.

So, Rebecca Ferguson (Dune, Silo), Barry Keoghan (Saltburn, The Banshees of Inisherin) and Tim Roth (pulp Fiction, The eight bastards) will be there. However, no information regarding their roles has yet been communicated.

While waiting to find out more, you can watch or rewatch all six seasons of the series Peaky Blinders on Netflix.
