For now, Knight confirmed the Netflix film wrapped production on December 13, which means we might get to see it very soon. "We're putting it together now", he revealed, as he praised the star-studded cast: "I would say this, wouldn't I? But it's fantastic. We've got the best, I think, the best British actors all in one place, including Stephen [Graham]."

The series' creator continued by saying that, considering what he's seen so far, "no one will be disappointed" by the film. "It is quite an incredible thing. It's a very fitting way to end this part of the Peaky story," he added.

Directed by Heart of Stone helmer Tom Harper, the upcoming Peaky Blinders movie is set during World War Two, with the Shelby family dealing with their own personal war. Alongside Murphy, the film stars Rebecca Ferguson, Tim Roth, and Barry Keoghan, with Natasha O’Keeffe, Paul Anderson, Sophie Rundle, and Kate Phillips expected to reprise their roles from the BBC show.
