Peaky Blinders Movie Release Date, Cast, Plot and News

The story of the notorious gangsters from Birmingham is set to continue in a new Peaky Blinders feature film, thanks to Netflix. This movie will delve into the next chapter of Tommy Shelby and his fierce family.

Initially created by the BBC, Peaky Blinders became a massive success, propelling Cillian Murphy, who played the role of Tommy Shelby, into stardom. The audience was captivated by the strong, clever, and impeccably dressed Tommy Shelby as he navigated the criminal underworld of post-World War I England.

Aside from Tommy, the series featured a host of other intriguing characters such as Aunt Polly (Helen McCrory), Arthur Shelby (Paul Anderson), and Alfie Solomon (Tom Hardy).

The show also sparked a resurgence of interest in 1920s fashion, with the iconic gangster attire of tailored suits, overcoats, and flat caps gaining popularity among fashion enthusiasts.

Given the immense success of the series, it’s no surprise that Netflix has decided to create a movie spin-off. The film has brought back familiar names to maintain the essence of the original series, with the script penned by creator Steven Knight and Tom Harper hired as the director.
