The highly anticipated Peaky Blinders movie is taking shape. Series creator Steven Knight announced that they will start shooting the movie this summer, the script of which is almost ready.
Created by the British TV channel BBC, Peaky Blinders reached a wide audience not only in the United Kingdom but all over the world. The series, which became even more popular when it started to be broadcast on Netflix, ended its six-season journey in 2022. However, the adventure of Thomas Shelby and his criminal friends is not over. Peaky Blinders, which said goodbye to viewers with an open-ended finale, will return, this time in movie format.
The Peaky Blinders movie, which has been on the agenda since the series ended in 2022, is slowly starting to take shape. In an interview with Radio Times recently, series creator Steven Knight made statements that will delight fans of the series. Saying that he is about to complete the script of the Peaky Blinders movie, Knight stated that he is currently working on the finishing touches.
The Shelby Gang to Return in Peaky Blinders Movie
Steven Knight did not stop there and announced that they are planning to start shooting the highly anticipated movie very soon. If all goes according to plan, Peaky Blinders will start shooting this summer. This means that the return of the Shelbys could be sooner than we expect.
Cillian Murphy, who made a name for himself this year with his impressive performance in Oppenheimer, is expected to reprise his role as Thomas Shelby. In addition to Murphy, we can assume that the actors who gave life to the other members of the Shelby Gang will also return. Who will accompany them in the movie remains unclear for now.
Although Peaky Blinders has been broadcast on Netflix in its last seasons, Netflix is not expected to be involved in the movie project. Because Steven Knight wants this to be a movie that is watched in theaters. In fact, Knight says that one of his motivations for making this movie is that he wants people to watch Peaky Blinders together in a movie theater. So it is highly unlikely that the movie will go directly to a digital platform.
