While speaking with Netflix, Cilian admitted that Thomas Shelby’s story wasn’t over just yet. “This one is for the fans,” claimed the actor while sharing how excited he was to be reprising his role. The actor expressed how great it was to work on the film with Knight and Tom Harper, who have both previously directed episodes of the famous TV series.
Harper also told Netflix how excited he was to be directing the upcoming film years after he directed episodes of Peaky Blinders Season 1 back in 2013. The director shared that during the show’s initial days, the team had no idea what it would become. However, he shared that the chemistry among the cast and the incredible writing made them all feel like they were working on something special. In Harper’s words: “Peaky has always been a story about family,” while sharing how grateful he was to be bringing the movie to audiences all over the world on Netflix.
As far as the plot of the film goes, the story will begin right after the events of the Season 6 finale with Thomas Shelby riding off into the sunset with the hope of starting a new life. While most of the details about the upcoming film are still under wraps, Knight believes that it will be an “explosive chapter” in Peaky Blinders history. He described the film in these exact words: “Full-on Peaky Blinders at war.”
A release date for the upcoming Peaky Blinders film has not been announced yet. All six seasons of the show are available to stream on Netflix.
