In a new film from Netflix based on the British drama series Peaky Blinders, Cillian Murphy will reprise his role as Tommy Shelby, the streaming service revealed on Tuesday.
Tommy Shelby is back. A screenshot of the film's script was posted by Netflix along with the statement, "A PEAKY BLINDERS FILM starring Cillian Murphy is coming to Netflix."
"It seems like Tommy Shelby wasn't done with me," Murphy said in a statement. "It's really satisfying to be working with Steven Knight and Tom Harper again on the Peaky Blinders movie," Murphy continued. For the fans, this one.
Peaky Blinders is a crime drama that centers on the emergence of the Shelby family's criminal empire in post-World War I Birmingham, under the astute and driven Tommy. The show delves into their alliances with other gangs, their connections to the government, and their global pursuits.

The new movie, which is based on a concept by Peaky Blinders writer Steven Knight, will be directed by Tom Harper, who helmed every episode of the show's inaugural season in 2013. In a statement, Harper said, "We didn't know what the series would become when I first directed Peaky Blinders over ten years ago, but we did know that there was something in the alchemy of the cast and the writing that felt explosive."
Production on the Peaky Blinders movie is scheduled to begin later this year. It is a follow-up to the gangster drama series, which ran for six seasons. The forthcoming movie's plot has not been made public.
Knight expressed his genuine excitement about the next film. It's going to be a thrilling turn in the Peaky Blinders narrative. Nothing is off limits. "At war, full tilt Peaky Blinders," he continued.
