The 'Peaky Blinders' Movie Is Coming: Everything We Know so Far

British period crime drama Peaky Blinders wrapped up its six-season run in 2022, but according to creator Steven Knight, the story certainly isn't over.

Here's everything we know so far about the Peaky Blinders movie.

First, let's back up to the beginning.

Creator Steven Knight first let slip his plans to develop a movie exploring the adventures of the Shelby clan and their associates in 2021. As Steven told the audience gathered at the 2021 BFI London Film Festival, he had plans to shoot the Peaky Blinders movie in Birmingham (only appropriate).

According to Birmingham Live, a new studio was unveiled in up-and-coming Digbeth, Birmingham, in the first half of 2022 — which was billed as the creative home of the forthcoming Peaky Blinders movie, Master Chef U.K., and many others. Steven confirmed his intention to use the studio as a shooting location as well.

In a June 2022 interview with Deadline, the show's star Cillian Murphy said he had no information about the upcoming movie and hadn't screen a script, but that he appreciated the hiatus and would be there to shoot the movie when the time came.

"I think it’s good for everyone to have a little break," Cillian said at the time. "That’s always a healthy thing and then we can regroup. Steve is an insanely busy and in-demand writer, but I know that he loves writing Peaky above all, I’m sure he’s told you the same. He adores it. So I think when the time comes, if there’s more story to be told, I’ll be there."

Fast-forward to March 2024, and Steven confirmed that not only was Cillian absolutely returning as Tommy Shelby, but that filming for the movie was to begin within months.

As he told Birmingham World: "[Cillian] definitely is returning for it. We're shooting it in September [2024] just down the road in Digbeth."

Cillian and Steven have already gone record saying Cillian will be there — which is a start.

Others stars fans are eager to see in the Peaky Blinders movie include Natasha O'Keeffe and Sophie Rundle. Sadly, acting legend Helen McCrory, who portrayed Aunt Polly in Peaky Blinders, died in April 2021.

Birmingham World also notes that based on Steven's prior comments about having the "new generation" from the sixth season be part of the upcoming film, this means we may see Season 6 newcomers Stephen Graham (who plays Hayden Stagg), Amber Anderson (who plays Lady Diana Mitford), and James Frecheville (who plays Jack Nelson) in the movie. But none of this has been confirmed yet, of course.

Steven told the Irish Independent in 2019 that he wanted to capture Tommy's redemption. He suggested Tommy will "become good" by the end of Peaky Blinders. The canceled final season would have likely tapped into this idea. It's not entirely certain if the Peaky Blinders movie is going to follow the same creative direction.

"Peaky — in this incarnation — comes to an end, but we’re doing a film which will also carry on the family and the stories into the Second World War," Steven went on to tell reporters in February 2022.

He went into more detail with Esquire that same month, revealing: "The film, I know exactly what it’s about. And I know what two stories it’s going to tell. How the story will unfold, I don’t know. What will happen after that, I want that to depend on the film. For all we know somebody is going to pop out — I think I know who it’s going to be.”
