A Peaky Blinders sequel show has been ordered at Netflix and BBC from writer and creator Steven Knight.
The sequel series will feature two seasons of six hour-long episodes. The timeline of the new series will take place after the Peaky Blinders movie, which is in post-production.
The official logline reads: “Britain, 1953. After being heavily bombed in WWII, Birmingham is building a better future out of concrete and steel. In a new era of Steven Knight’s Peaky Blinders, the race to own Birmingham’s massive reconstruction project becomes a brutal contest of mythical dimensions. This is a city of unprecedented opportunity and danger, with the Shelby family right at its blood-soaked heart.”
What is Cillian Murphy’s involvement in the Peaky Blinders sequel show?
Peaky Blinders star Cillian Murphy will executive produce the sequel series alongside Knight, Karen Wilson, Martin Haines, Jamie Glazebrook, Jo McClellan, Mona Qureshi, and Toby Bentley. Kudos and Garrison Drama will produce both series. The episodes will be shot at Digbeth Loc. Studios in Birmingham, England.
‘I’m thrilled to be announcing this new chapter in the Peaky Blinders story,” Knight said in a press release. “Once again, it will be rooted in Birmingham and will tell the story of a city rising from the ashes of the Birmingham blitz. The new generation of Shelbys have taken the wheel and it will be a hell of a ride.”
Created by Knight, Peaky Blinders starred Murphy as Tommy Shelby, the crime boss of the Peaky Blinders street gang in Birmingham. The show ran for six seasons from 2013 to 2022.
Murphy will reprise his character for A Peaky Blinders Film at Netflix. Knight penned the script, while Tom Harper directed. Besides Murphy, the movie stars Rebecca Ferguson, Tim Roth, Stephen Graham, Sophie Rundle, Ned Dennehy, Packy Lee, Ian Peck, Jay Lycurgo, and Barry Keoghan. The film does not have a release date.
