Fans of the Peaky Blinders series have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of the much-anticipated Peaky Blinders movie. Following the thrilling conclusion of season 6, viewers have been left with many questions about Tommy Shelby's fate and the future of the Shelby family. To answer these questions, the series creators have decided to expand the universe by bringing a Peaky Blinders film to life. Here’s everything we know so far, from Netflix’s official announcement to casting details, potential release dates, and more.

 

 

Peaky Blinders Movie Release Date

Since the announcement of the Peaky Blinders movie, fans have been on the edge of their seats, waiting for any news regarding the film’s release. Unfortunately, as of now, there is no confirmed release date for the movie. However, according to a report by Radio Times, production is slated to begin later this year, which suggests that the movie may not hit theaters until late 2025.

 

This timeline aligns with typical film production schedules for high-budget projects like Peaky Blinders. Given the expansive world-building, intricate sets, and meticulous attention to period-accurate details, the filmmakers will likely need extensive time to complete the movie. Post-production processes, such as editing, visual effects, and sound design, can also extend the timeline.

 

Netflix, the platform that brought the show to global fame, will be the distributor of the movie. The announcement came via a tweet (now on X after the platform’s rebranding), teasing fans with, "Tommy Shelby is back by order of the Peaky Blinders." This short but tantalizing message has sparked excitement and speculation, as fans hope for more updates soon.

Alongside the release date speculation, Netflix has already started building excitement by releasing a first look at the Peaky Blinders movie. The first image shows Cillian Murphy back in character as Tommy Shelby, the fierce and enigmatic leader of the Shelby crime family. The image was shared on Netflix UK’s social media handles, accompanied by a simple yet powerful caption: "By order of the Peaky Blinders... Tommy Shelby is back."

 

The image immediately went viral, with fans flooding social media with GIFs, memes, and excited comments. The glimpse of Tommy Shelby in his iconic flat cap, set against the familiar gritty backdrop, suggests that the movie will carry the same tone and style that made the series a worldwide hit.

 

 

 

Peaky Blinders Movie Cast

 

The biggest question on everyone’s mind, aside from the release date, is about the Peaky Blinders movie cast. While Cillian Murphy’s return as Tommy Shelby has been confirmed, other casting details are still under wraps. However, it’s safe to assume that several key characters from the series will likely make a return in the film.

 

Given the tight-knit nature of the Shelby family and their associates, characters like Arthur Shelby (played by Paul Anderson), Ada Thorne (played by Sophie Rundle), and Lizzie Stark (played by Natasha O'Keeffe) could all potentially reprise their roles. Fans have also been clamoring for the return of Finn Shelby (played by Harry Kirton) after his controversial departure from the family in season 6.

 

Moreover, there’s speculation that the movie might introduce new characters, expanding the Peaky Blinders universe even further. With the scope of the Shelby family’s influence growing throughout the seasons, there could be fresh faces in the world of organized crime, politicians, or international adversaries.

 

Peaky Blinders Season 7 Update

While fans are excited for the upcoming movie, there has been ongoing speculation about the possibility of a Peaky Blinders Season 7. At this point, it appears that the movie will act as a continuation and potential conclusion of Tommy Shelby’s story, serving as a replacement for a traditional seventh season. Steven Knight, the creator of Peaky Blinders, has mentioned that the movie will give closure to the story arcs left open at the end of season 6.

 

 

That being said, the world of Peaky Blinders is rich with potential for spin-offs or future projects. Knight has hinted at the possibility of further expanding the Shelby universe with new stories, perhaps focusing on different characters or new generations within the Shelby family. While season 7 may not be happening, the Peaky Blinders movie will certainly deliver the same high-stakes drama, complex characters, and tension-filled moments that fans have come to love.
