As a movie enthusiast who has spent countless hours immersed in the gritty and captivating world of the Peaky Blinders, I can’t help but feel a mix of anticipation and melancholy. Cillian Murphy’s portrayal of Tommy Shelby has been nothing short of masterful, and his time in the series seems to be drawing to a close with the upcoming movie. However, the fact that the franchise is set to continue with a new spin-off show, focusing on the next generation after World War II, brings a glimmer of hope.
In the future, it seems Cillian Murphy’s tenure in “Peaky Blinders” may be wrapping up with an upcoming movie, but the series is set to carry on in a fresh spin-off storyline. Creator Steven Knight initially introduced viewers to Tommy Shelby back in 2013. The series, which was set post World War I, followed Tommy as he returned to Birmingham to helm the Peaky Blinders gang, alongside his brother Arthur Shelby (Paul Anderson) and Aunt Polly Gray (Helen McCrory). The highly popular show concluded in 2022 after its sixth season. Knight is planning to bring Tommy’s tale to a close with the upcoming Netflix film. However, the “Peaky Blinders” legacy will continue beyond Tommy Shelby, as Knight has announced plans for the franchise to persist.
In an interview with Paris Match, creator Steven Knight hinted at the possibility of the Peaky Blinders world expanding beyond the upcoming film. Apart from writing and directing the movie, Knight has also penned a stage adaptation of the series, set to premiere in March. However, Knight isn’t content with just that, as he’s also planning a surprising new spin-off for the franchise. In his words:
Our attention is turning towards post-World War II times, as we develop a sequence of stories centered around the subsequent generations.
In the upcoming “Peaky Blinders” film, events unfold during the heart of World War II. Details about the storyline remain under wraps, but there’s a strong possibility that several members from the Peaky Blinders gang may be called to serve on the battlefield. The psychological impact of World War I was prominently depicted in the original series, as both Tommy and his brother Arthur saw action in Europe. With Tommy Shelby potentially facing another call to arms against the Nazis, it remains to be seen how his PTSD will cope with this new challenge.
