This is for the fans.” His dedication to the character is a testament to the show’s enduring appeal and the deep connection fans have forged with Shelby’s journey.
What to Expect: A New Era for the Peaky Blinders
Prepare for a darker, more intense chapter in the Peaky Blinders’ story. According to those involved, the film will see the gang “fully involved in war. No barriers.” This suggests a significant escalation of conflict, moving beyond the localized power struggles of the series. The film promises to explore a “new era” for the Peaky Blinders, and crucially, will reveal what Tommy Shelby has been up to in the years since the series finale. Murphy hints that Shelby himself has undergone a profound internal transformation, stating he “will no longer be the same” man we knew.
A Stellar Cast Returns
Murphy won’t be facing this new era alone. A truly impressive ensemble cast is set to return, including Rebecca Ferguson, Tim Roth, Sophie Rundle, Packy Lee, Barry Keoghan, and Stephen Graham.

The dynamic between these actors was a key ingredient in the series’ success, and their return promises to deliver the same captivating performances.
