Cilian Murphy’s ‘Peaky Blinders’ Gets A Movie Revival
While the UK has enjoyed the period drama called ‘Peaky Blinders’ since 2013, the US only got introduced to it when it started streaming on Netflix.
The buzz for the show, which follows the Peaky Blinders gang that ran amok in 1920s Birmingham, grew in the states with its introduction to Netflix.
However, since its conclusion in 2022, fans have been yearning for more of the violence, espionage and thrills that marked the show throughout its six season run.
Well, it seems the shows original producers, and its lead star Cilian Murphy, have listened because it’s being brought back in the form of a movie for one more fantastic ride.

Murphy, like we’ve said, will be reprising his role, with so many of his associates. Apart from returning in his starring role, Murphy has also snagged the position of an executive producer for the show.
“It seems like Tommy Shelby wasn’t finished with me,” Murphy said in a statement published by Variety. “It is very gratifying to be recollaborating with [creator] Steven Knight and [director] Tom Harper on the film version of Peaky Blinders. This is one for the fans.”
The thing is that the international success of ‘Peaky Blinders’ is astounding, even for the show’s director Tom Harper. He said: “When I first directed Peaky Blinders over 10 years ago, we didn’t know what the series would become. But we did know that there was something in the alchemy of the cast and the writing that felt explosive.
Peaky has always been a story about family – and so it’s incredibly exciting to be reuniting with Steve and Cillian to bring the movie to audiences across the world on Netflix.”
What We Know So Far About ‘Peaky Blinders’ Movie Revival
Netflix announced via Tudum that the TV show will be a continuation of the events that happened in the series. So not like a reboot then, thank God.
While the original show explored the time period of Birmingham, England between 1919 and 1934, the movie will be set during World War II. The show’s creator Steven Knight teased that the show will be “the same but different.” Ooooooo.
