This is one for the fans.”

What’s the Peaky Blinders Movie About?
This film, starting production later this year, will continue the six-season story of the Shelby family from Birmingham. The series, set between 1919 and 1934, showed the rise and fall of the Shelbys during times of major social, economic, and political changes.
Harper, who directed some episodes of the first season back in 2013, will direct the movie with a script by the show’s creator, Knight. “When I first directed Peaky Blinders over 10 years ago, we didn’t know what the series would become, but we did know that there was something in the alchemy of the cast and the writing that felt explosive,” Harper said. “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.”
Peaky Blinders left a lasting mark since it ended in 2022: its style influenced fashion trends, and actors like Leo Woodall were inspired by it. “I was watching Peaky Blinders and I put on my Peaky Blinders-style hat, did my Tommy Shelby impression and thought, ‘I wanna be an actor,’” he told Netflix.
The last we saw Tommy Shelby, he was riding a white horse, ready for a fresh start. What’s next for him in the movie? The plot is a secret, but Knight hinted at big things. “I’m genuinely thrilled that this movie is about to happen,” Knight said. “It will be an explosive chapter in the Peaky Blinders story. No holds barred. Full-on Peaky Blinders at war.”
Fans, we can’t wait to see where the story goes next!
