Peaky Blinders lives on, returning with a new series that’s already been greenlit for two seasons. BBC and Netflix announced the Shelbys will continue on, as a new generation takes over the story. The series will be set after the Peaky Blinders film, which stars Cillian Murphy and is targeting a 2026 premiere.
The new series will film at Digbeth Loc. Studios, Birmingham, and each season will consist of six episodes. The series comes from Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight and has Cillian Murphy on board as an executive producer.
“I’m thrilled to be announcing this new chapter in the Peaky Blinders story,” said Knight. “Once again it will be rooted in Birmingham and will tell the story of a city rising from the ashes of the Birmingham blitz. The new generation of Shelbys have taken the wheel and it will be a hell of a ride.”
Per BBC and Netflix: “Britain, 1953. After being heavily bombed in WWII, Birmingham is building a better future out of concrete and steel. In a new era of Steven Knight’s Peaky Blinders, 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.”
Kudos and Garrison Drama are producing the sequel, with Karen Wilson, Martin Haines, Jamie Glazebrook, Jo McClellan, Mona Qureshi, and Toby Bentley executive producing.
Netflix’s Mona Qureshi said, “We couldn’t be more excited to be embarking on a new chapter of Peaky Blinders with our wonderful partners at Kudos, Garrison Drama, and the BBC. There are few modern storytellers to match Steven Knight and we will be on the edge of our seats as he returns to the streets of Birmingham and to the next generation of the Shelby family. Along with our global audience, we are ready to be captivated anew!”
And commenting on the new series, Director of BBC Drama Lindsay Salt said, “This game-changing show made a huge impact when it first came to our screens 12 years ago and it is one of the BBC’s most-loved dramas. Steven has worked his magic once again and I can’t wait for his scripts to be brought to life when filming begins in Birmingham. We are delighted to be working with Kudos, Garrison Drama and Netflix on this epic show. There’s plenty of drama for Peaky fans to look forward to!”
