Netflix’s upcoming Peaky Blinders film is officially in production. The streaming service announced on social media: “By order of the Peaky Blinders… Tommy Shelby is back,  Cillian Murphy and Steven Knight are reunited on set as production officially starts on the upcoming Netflix film.”

Netflix had recently announced that the Peaky Blinders movie will include Oscar-nominated actor Barry Keoghan, becoming the latest high-profile name set opposite star Cillian Murphy, 48 in the Tom Harper-directed film. Keoghan was nominated for a Golden Globe Award in 2023 for The Banshees of Inisherin, and in 2024 for Saltburn.

Deadline exclusively revealed last month that Rebecca Ferguson (The Greatest Showman) has also been cast; with details of both roles being kept under wraps. As  previously reported, Netflix greenlighted the Peaky feature in June with Murphy in a return to his iconic role of Tommy Shelby, leader of the eponymous Birmingham gangster family. Murphy portrayed Tommy Shelby in the British series, which ran for six seasons.

The upcoming project is based on the popular Netflix series, which sees Murphy portray Thomas Shelby, a war hero-turned-gangster who works his way up in the world of crime in 1900s Birmingham, England. While the film is described as a “continuation” of the beloved series, all other plot details are being kept under wraps for the time being.
