Thomas Shelby fans, rejoice! Cillian Murphy returns as the notorious gangster in the upcoming Peaky Blinders movie, set to hit Netflix. Directed by Tom Harper, who helmed episodes of the first season, this film promises to deliver the explosive action and gripping drama fans crave.
Murphy, also co-producing, expressed his excitement: “It seems like Tommy Shelby wasn’t finished with me… It is very gratifying to be re-collaborating with Steven Knight and Tom Harper on the film version of Peaky Blinders. This is one for the fans.”
Tom Harper reminisced about his first experience directing the series over a decade ago. “When I first directed Peaky Blinders, we didn’t know what the series would become. Peaky has always been a story about family – and so it’s incredibly exciting to be reuniting with Steve and Cillian to bring the movie to audiences across the world on Netflix,” Harper shared.
The movie, written by series creator Steven Knight, continues the saga set in the lawless streets of 1900s Birmingham. Knight, co-producing with Murphy, Caryn Mandabach, and Guy Heeley, is thrilled about the project. “It will be an explosive chapter in the Peaky Blinders story. No holds barred. Full on Peaky Blinders at war,” Knight declared.
While plot details and further casting remain under wraps, the anticipation is palpable. Production begins later this year, in association with BBC Film, promising another intense chapter in the Shelby family saga.
Deadline first broke the news, stirring excitement among the show’s loyal fans. Get ready for more Shelby drama, as Peaky Blinders prepares to dominate Netflix with its cinematic debut.
