With the Peaky Blinders movie starring Cillian Murphy heading to cinemas very soon, fans can rest assured that the franchise is not going anywhere, as two new brand-new series have been announced. Set after the events of the flagship show, the upcoming shows will introduce a new generation of Shelbys.

From writer and creator Steven Knight, the new story from the world of the Peaky Blinders will be set in Birmingham in 1953.

"After being heavily bombed in WWII, Birmingham is building a better future out of concrete and steel," reads the official logline. "The race to own Birmingham’s massive reconstruction project becomes a brutal contest of mythical dimensions. This is a city of unprecedented opportunity and danger: with the Shelby family right at its blood-soaked heart."

Alongside Murphy, the Peaky Blinders film stars Rebecca Ferguson, Tim Roth, and Barry Keoghan, with Natasha O’Keeffe, Paul Anderson, Sophie Rundle, and Kate Phillips set to reprise their roles from the BBC show.
