Excitement is in the air for fans of the Peaky Blinders gang, as Netflix has recently provided a significant update regarding the feature-length film inspired by the critically acclaimed series. With the show’s legacy, directed by Steven Knight, being firmly established since its debut in 2013, anticipation for this new installment continues to grow.
Peaky Blinders chronicles the lives of the infamous Birmingham-based criminal gang, set in the turbulent period following World War I. The show has captivated audiences with its intricate narrative and rich character portrayals, particularly that of Cillian Murphy’s iconic role as Tommy Shelby. Initially concluding with its sixth season in 2022, fans were led to believe that the story had reached its end. However, a resurgence in demand has sparked fresh developments.
Netflix secured the rights to distribute the show in the United States in 2014. Following the finale, the streaming giant announced in June 2024 that it would be producing a Peaky Blinders movie, reigniting fans’ enthusiasm for the series.

Recently, Netflix revealed on social media that filming for the upcoming Peaky Blinders movie has been completed. In their announcement, they provided a first look at Murphy reprising his role as Tommy Shelby alongside Barry Keoghan, who joins the cast in an undisclosed character.
