The acclaimed series Peaky Blinders, which has kept its audience in suspense for six intense seasons, is ready to expand its universe with a film that promises to be just as exciting and dramatic. Following the series finale, fans have been eagerly awaiting the return of Tommy Shelby and finally, the wait is over. Production on the film has officially begun in the United Kingdom and Netflix has shared the first images of this highly anticipated project.
In the first image, Cillian Murphy, who has been physically preparing for his return, appears again as Tommy Shelby, but with a significant change: the character appears with gray hair, a sign of the passage of time and the new battles that will face. This visual transformation reflects the darker, more mature tone we are likely to see in this new phase of the story.
In addition, along with this image of Tommy, Netflix has also shared a photograph of Murphy with the creator of the series, Steven Knight, on the filming set in Birmingham. This behind-the-scenes snapshot has excited fans even more, who are eagerly awaiting what’s to come.
So far, it is known that the film will be set during World War II, a historical context that will lead the Shelby family to face new challenges, both personal and political.

With the script written by Steven Knight, fans can be sure that this new chapter will maintain the same intensity and quality that made the series famous.
With production already underway and the first images revealed, the Peaky Blinders movie promises to be an exciting episode in the Shelby saga. While the world eagerly awaits more details about the plot, everything indicates that the Shelby family will once again conquer the screens with the same intensity and drama that characterizes them.
