Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight teases fans with an update about the upcoming movie adaptation of the hit BBC show. He said the filming will commence before 2023 ends.
This update about the much-awaited adaptation film will give fans the assurance that the production is heading to a good start. First premiered in 2013, Peaky Blinders is a British crime drama that follows the lives of the most powerful criminal gang in Birmingham. Cillian Murphy plays Thomas Shelby, the most feared man in the show but most well-loved by fans.
The story wrapped up earlier this year with its sixth season, concluding the epic tale that brought so much tension and terror. Shortly after its final season, an announcement of a spinoff movie came forward. There is still no known detail about the plot, but it was confirmed that Steven Knight will write the script.
Peaky Blinders Updates From The Creator
There is still so much mystery surrounding the movie adaptation, one of which is the cast and characters returning from the show. Murphy revealed that he is interested in reprising his iconic role, and he is excited to read the rough draft.
In his interview with Heart FM, Knight shared a few details about the early production of the project. He said that the filming will commence “within eighteen months” and there will be “some new faces that will hopefully be quite surprising.” He also confirmed that several original cast will appear again.
“We’re going to shoot it at the studios in Digbeth, and on location in Digbeth in Birmingham. Digbeth and Small Heath [are] where the Peaky Blinders actually roamed, so it’s like Peaky’s coming home.”
If the schedule will be strictly followed, the movie will most likely premiere in 2024 or 2025, at the least. With Knight’s exciting update and Murphy’s willingness to reprise his role, fans will be assured that the start of filming is just way ahead.
