The PEAKY BLINDERS film, written by series creator Steven Knight, will continue the story of the Birmingham gangster family. The movie follows the BBC period drama series, which ran for six seasons from 2013 to 2022.

Cillian Murphy returns as Tommy Shelby, alongside series regulars Stephen Graham (who played docker Hayden Stagg) and Sophie Rundle (who portrayed Ada Thorne). Barry Keoghan, Rebecca Ferguson, and Tim Roth are joining the cast.

The original series was set after World War I and explored themes including the rise of fascism, Irish republican politics, and communist activities. The show earned a BAFTA for best drama series in 2018, and Cillian Murphy received a BAFTA nomination in 2023 for his role.

Barry Keoghan is known for his roles in SALTBURN and THE BANSHEES OF INISHERIN, for which he won a BAFTA for Best Supporting Actor in 2023.
