“It seems like Tommy Shelby wasn’t finished with me,” Murphy told Netflix. The actor expressed pleasure in re-collaborating with Screenwriter Steven Knight and Director Tom Harper for the film version which they dedicate to the show's fans.
According to Netflix, the production is set to start in September this year continuing the multi-award-winning, six-season gangster saga. While the details about the plot and the cast are still being kept under wraps, Knight previously said that it would be set during World War II.
“It will be an explosive chapter in the Peaky Blinders story. No holds barred. Full on Peaky Blinders at war,” says Knight.
