Murphy is once again taking on the character of Tommy Shelby in a Netflix film that received approval in June. The show’s creator, Steven Knight, is penning the script, and although specific storyline details are being kept secret, Knight has hinted that the movie will take place during World War II. Alongside Murphy, Knight, Caryn Mandabach, and Guy Heeley will serve as producers, while Harper, David Koose, Jamie Glazebrook, Andrew Warren, and David Mason will act as executive producers.

Peaky Blinders is a crime drama series that unfolds in Birmingham, England, revolving around the Peaky Blinders criminal group who make their way back to their hometown following World War I. The Peaky Blinders are a fictional gang, but they were inspired by an actual urban street gang active from the 1880s onwards within the city. Thomas Shelby, portrayed by Cillian Murphy, serves as the show’s central character and leader of the Peaky Blinders. Throughout its run, the series has boasted a diverse and impressive cast, featuring stars like Tom Hardy, Helen McCrory, Paul Anderson, Sophie Rundle, Joe Cole, Sam Neill, Adrien Brody, Anya Taylor-Joy, Annabelle Wallis, Finn Cole, among others.

The TV show initially premiered on BBC Two back in 2013, then moved to BBC One for its fifth and sixth seasons. Its fame grew significantly when Netflix obtained the rights through a partnership with The Weinstein Company and Endemol to broadcast it in America. The final two series were aired in 2022, and discussions about a film were underway as the show ended. Now, these plans are becoming reality, as filming is scheduled to start in September.

As a film critic, let me tell you, I’ve been consistently impressed by the acting prowess of Barry Keoghan. In 2022, his captivating performance in “The Banshees of Inisherin” earned him an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor, along with Golden Globe and BAFTA nods. The following year, he garnered more accolades, with both a Golden Globe and BAFTA nomination for Best Actor in “Saltburn.” His other notable roles include “The Killing of a Sacred Deer,” “The Green Knight,” “The Batman,” and “Eternals.” The actor is slated to return as the Joker in “The Batman: Part II,” making him a star to watch in the future.
