Starring Cillian Murphy, Helen McCrory, Paul Anderson, Sophie Rundle, Finn Cole, Kate Phillips, Natasha O’Keeffe, Aidan Gillen, Jack Rowan, Charlie Murphy, Kingsley Ben-Adir, Harry Kirton, Packy Lee, Ned Dennehy, Ian Peck, and Benjamin Zephaniah, the drama is set during World War I and follows an Irish gangster family living in England.
Knight gave the following update about the return of Peaky Blinders, per Radio Times:
“I’m just working on the final bits of it at the moment. I just sit down at the keyboard and start. It’s a bit like having a dream, for me. You sit there and all this stuff comes, and then you read it back and think, ‘That’s pretty good – but where did it come from?’ The plan is to start shooting that in the middle of next year.”
The movie is expected to be set during World War II and Knight says that it will be “the same but different” from the series viewers should “expect the unexpected.”
The premiere date and more details about Peaky Blinders film will be announced later.
