According to TVLine, Peaky Blinders fans have something exciting to look forward to, with Netflix officially returning to the gritty world of Birmingham’s infamous Shelby family. The upcoming feature film, still untitled, will begin production later this year, and there’s exciting news for fans—Tim Roth has officially joined the cast. Roth, known for his roles in Lie to Me and Tin Star, will share the screen with Oscar-winner Cillian Murphy (A Quite Place Two, Inception), who returns as the enigmatic Tommy Shelby.
The news, first reported by Deadline, confirms Roth’s addition alongside previously announced cast members Barry Keoghan (The Banshees of Inisherin, Saltburn) and Rebecca Ferguson (Silo, Dune: Part 1). While the exact roles of Roth, Keoghan, and Ferguson are being kept tightly under wraps, fans are already speculating how these acclaimed actors will fit into the Peaky Blinders universe.
As mentioned by TVLine, the upcoming film will see the return of series creator Steven Knight (Taboo, This Town), who has penned the script, ensuring that the movie retains the same voice and style that made the series a global phenomenon. Directing duties will be handled by Tom Harper (The Borrowers, Heart of Stone) who was involved in the show’s first season and is set to bring his familiarity with the world of Peaky Blinders to the big screen.
Also mentioned by TVLine, the plot details for the film are currently being held close to the chest, and no other actors have been announced beyond the main casting news. However, the prospect of the Shelby clan returning has fans buzzing with anticipation. The original BBC series aired for six seasons on Netflix and followed Tommy Shelby, a ruthless crime boss striving to expand his family’s empire, no matter the cost. Set against the backdrop of 1919 Birmingham, England, Peaky Blinders became a cultural touchstone, blending crime drama with historical context, and earning a dedicated fanbase.
“I can say that my plan from the beginning was to end Peaky with a movie. That is what is going to happen,” Knight shared via TVLine.
According to TVLine, the Peaky Blinders movie promises to deliver the same intensity and intrigue that characterized the original series, with a stellar cast that now includes Roth, Keoghan, and Ferguson. With production set to begin soon, fans can expect more casting, plot, and release date updates.
