Peaky Blinders to be reborn into a post-war Birmingham

PEAKY Blinders is to return with two new series focusing on a “new generation of Shelbys”, the BBC has announced.

- 

It comes after the Peaky Blinders film, starring Irish actors Barry Keoghan and Cillian Murphy, wrapped filming in December last year. The sequel series will pick up after the events of the forthcoming feature film and is to be filmed at Digbeth Loc Studios in Birmingham.

It has not been revealed if Oscar-winning actor Murphy, 49, who played protagonist Tommy Shelby in the film and original series, which ended in 2022, will return.

The new episodes will once again be set in the city, with events taking place in 1953, when Birmingham is building a future out of concrete and steel after the Second World War.
