00:00Even though the sixth and final season of Peaky Blinders closed its curtains in 2022,
00:15the story of Tommy Shelby and his Birmingham crew isn't calling it quits just yet. Instead
00:20of saying goodbye to the small screen, the last chapter of the Peaky Blinders saga is
00:24making its way to the big screen, as confirmed by the show's creator, Stephen Knight, back
00:29in 2021. Knight spilled the beans to Deadline, saying they initially aimed to wrap up Peaky
00:35Blinders with a movie. Despite some twists in the plans thanks to COVID, he made it clear
00:41that is what is going to happen. In 2022, Knight disclosed to British radio
00:46station Hart FM that he was in the final stages of completing the script for the movie. During
00:51this period, he mentioned that the film would be shot in Birmingham, expressing the likelihood
00:56of production starting within 18 months. However, that initial timeline did not materialize,
01:02as Knight was reportedly still refining the script when he spoke to Radio Times in late
01:072023. In the magazine's Christmas issue, he shared,
01:11''I'm currently working on the final bits of it,'' and went on to mention, ''The plan
01:15is to commence filming in the middle of next year.''
01:18Considering this schedule, it appears probable that the movie itself won't hit theatres
01:23until at least 2025, though no official release dates have been confirmed thus far.
01:29The specific details of the Peaky Blinders movie's plot remain unclear at the moment,
01:34including the era in which it will be set. However, previous statements by Stephen Knight
01:39suggest that the storyline might encompass World War II.
01:43While discussing the show's trajectory in 2018, Knight initially intended to create
01:48a seventh season for the television series, envisioning a narrative spanning multiple
01:52seasons with a focus on a family story between the two world wars. He expressed the desire
01:58to conclude the series with the first air-raid siren in 1939.
02:04In a shift of plans revealed in early 2022, Knight shared that the scope of the movie
02:09had been revised. Instead of concluding at the onset of World War II, the narrative would
02:14now extend into and beyond the Second World War. This decision was influenced by the enthusiastic
02:20response and energy from the audience, leading Knight to explore the potential for the story's
02:26progression beyond the initially envisioned end point. He described the sixth series as
02:31''the end of the beginning.''
02:34While details about the complete cast for the Peaky Blinders movie are currently limited,
02:39Stephen Knight has confirmed the return of Cillian Murphy as Tommy and Paul Anderson
02:43as his brother Arthur. When asked about the potential involvement of these actors in broader
02:48Peaky Blinders spinoffs, Knight shared with Digital Spy in February 2022, ''It's impossible
02:54to say yet, but the film? Yes.'' He further explained, ''There are so many people, so
02:59many great actors, that we are already sort of in conversation with for the film and for
03:04whatever follows. But I think what we want to do is keep surprising people and keep breaking
03:09new talent, because it's all out there and there is a sort of consistency. What we're
03:14doing is finding really good actors from a working-class sort of background and telling
03:19that story. That's what we're trying to do.'' Cillian Murphy, however, has been more cautious
03:24in his statements. In July 2023, he told Radio Times, ''I would love to do a movie if there's
03:30more story to tell. I'll wait and see, but I have no update for you on that.''
03:35While it's challenging to envision the film without Murphy leading the cast, there is
03:39no official confirmation yet that the actor has formally signed on for the project.
03:45As of late 2021, Stephen Knight indicated that the Peaky Blinders movie would likely
03:49serve as the conclusive end to the story as we know it. However, he has also suggested
03:55that it might not mark the end of the broader Peaky universe. While speaking to BBC News
04:00in 2021, Knight mentioned discussions about TV series inspired by and featuring characters
04:06from Peaky Blinders. He further conveyed to Variety that there would be other TV shows
04:11emerging from this universe, continuing to depict the story of this societal segment
04:17and family. Although there are no specific details about
04:20these potential shows, Knight has hinted at passing on the writing responsibilities to
04:25someone else for new entries into the Peaky universe.
04:29In an unexpected turn in September 2022, the Peaky Blinders story continued in a different
04:34form. Knight, in collaboration with Rambert Production, Birmingham Hippodrome, and The
04:39Lowry, presented a dance production titled Peaky Blinders – The Redemption of Thomas
04:44Shelby. Directed and choreographed by Benoit Swann-Pouffer, the show followed Tommy Shelby
04:51and Grace Burgess through their passionate love affair.
04:54Knight has teased fans with various spin-off possibilities, including exploring Alfie Solomon's
04:59life pre-Shelby's, Finn Shelby navigating the family legacy in the 1950s, a sequel tracing
05:06Ada's political journey, Duke assuming control of the family business, and a prequel spotlighting
05:12the Shelby women managing the business during World War I.
05:16It's truly exciting to see the expansion of Peaky Blinders and there are several factors
05:21that contribute to its special status. First and foremost, the show boasts an exceptional
05:26cast that consistently delivers top-notch performances. Killian Murphy leads the ensemble
05:32with his portrayal of Tommy Shelby, complemented by outstanding supporting performances from
05:38Helen McCrory, Paul Anderson, and Tom Hardy.
05:41Beyond its stellar cast, Peaky Blinders is renowned for its distinctive combination of
05:46historical accuracy and gritty storytelling. Set in post-World War I Birmingham, the series
05:52provides a captivating look into the lives of gangsters during this tumultuous period.
05:57The show's remarkable cinematography, meticulous attention to costume design, and detailed
06:02set dressing create an immersive experience that transports viewers back in time, setting
06:07it apart from other productions. However, what truly distinguishes Peaky Blinders
06:12is its unique style. From the iconic flat caps worn by the characters to the haunting
06:18theme song Red Right Hand, every aspect of the show exudes freshness and originality.
06:24With each season delivering unexpected twists and turns, fans are hooked on Peaky Blinders'
06:28gripping narrative and compelling characters. It's no surprise that the series has evolved
06:33into a cultural phenomenon, captivating audiences worldwide in recent years.
06:39The success of any television series often hinges on the strength of its characters,
06:44and Peaky Blinders excels in this regard. Boasting some of the most unforgettable characters
06:49on television, the show has left an indelible mark on viewers worldwide.
06:54At the forefront is Tommy Shelby, the gang's leader portrayed by Cillian Murphy. Tommy
06:59is a multifaceted character with a shadowy past and an unwavering determination to transcend
07:05his circumstances. His strategic mind and calculated actions evoke both fear and respect.
07:13Another compelling character in Peaky Blinders is Arthur Shelby, portrayed by Paul Anderson,
07:18Tommy's older brother. Arthur is impulsive and hot-headed, but displays unwavering loyalty
07:24to his family. Despite his flaws, he endears himself to audiences through moments of vulnerability
07:30and tenderness towards those closest to him. Notable characters also include Polly Gray,
07:36the strong-willed matriarch who takes no nonsense, John Shelby, Tommy's younger brother grappling
07:41with addiction, and Ada Thorne, Tommy's sister challenging traditional gender roles during
07:46a time of limited agency for women. In essence, the captivating characters of
07:51Peaky Blinders are the linchpin of the show's allure. They are multidimensional, flawed
07:57yet relatable individuals who keep viewers engrossed in their lives long after the credits
08:02roll. Coupled with stunning cinematography and a compelling storyline, it's no surprise
08:07that Peaky Blinders has earned its place as one of the most beloved shows of our time.
08:13Peaky Blinders stands out as a television series due to its remarkable attention to
08:17detail in iconic costumes and sets. The production team has masterfully recreated the look and
08:23ambiance of 1920s Birmingham, showcasing meticulous craftsmanship in every aspect of the characters'
08:30attire and surroundings. From the distinctive flat caps worn by the Shelby gang to Ada's
08:36elegant dresses, each costume plays a pivotal role in establishing character identity and
08:41historical context. Equally noteworthy are the meticulously crafted
08:46sets, transporting viewers back in time with incredible accuracy. The production design

08:58estates, contributing to a fully immersive world for the audience. Whether it's Tommy's
