After six incredible seasons, the “Peaky Blinders” film will conclude the narrative of the successful British series, and a major factor to consider is that its creator, Steven Knight, will return to develop the script.
As seen in the TV drama, the story follows the Shelby family and their activities in post-war Birmingham, England. Cillian Murphy will return one last time to portray the iconic gang leader, Thomas Shelby.
In recent months, small details about the project have been revealed, such as Tom Harper directing the period thriller. This morning, Netflix confirmed that Barry Keoghan will be part of the cast.

Barry Keoghan is one of the latest stars to join the main cast of the upcoming and highly anticipated Peaky Blinders film. It appears that the Irish actor will co-star in the story alongside Cillian Murphy.
The character he will play is still unknown, so it will not be a familiar name from the series. Netflix indicated that the plot will help wrap up the events from the sixth season and that several big names in the industry will be present.
The star of Saltburn and The Killing of a Sacred Deer will share the spotlight with the Oppenheimer actor and the talented Rebecca Ferguson (Dune), as they are currently the only confirmed members of the cast.
The streaming giant has confirmed in a statement that the movie will begin production at the end of 2024 and that, although the plot remains top secret, it “will be an explosive chapter in the history of Peaky Blinders“.
