Fans of Peaky Blinders have reason to celebrate as the iconic series is set to return to television, diving into a thrilling new chapter of the Shelby family saga. After the sixth season aired in 2022, many believed the story had reached its dramatic conclusion. However, creators confirmed that the Shelby empire would rise again, this time in a post-World War Two setting.
The upcoming continuation will explore the exploits of a new generation of Shelbys, bringing fresh energy while staying rooted in the dark, gripping essence that made the show a worldwide phenomenon. Creator Steven Knight promises, The new generation of Shelbys have taken the wheel, and it will be a hell of a ride.
The story is set to pick up in 1953, against the backdrop of Birmingham’s massive reconstruction. According to the report, this era is 'a city of unprecedented opportunity and danger, with the Shelby family right at its blood-soaked heart.' The race to control Birmingham’s rebuilding projects promises to be brutal, testing the cunning and ruthlessness of the new Shelby leaders.
Cillian Murphy will reprise his iconic role as Tommy Shelby in a forthcoming film titled The Immortal Man, set during the early days of World War Two. The movie will also feature acclaimed actors Barry Keoghan, Stephen Graham, and Rebecca Ferguson. Murphy’s involvement extends beyond acting, as he joins the project as an executive producer for the upcoming TV seasons.
While they kept details under wraps regarding which previous characters might return, the anticipation among fans is palpable. Peaky Blinders originally premiered in 2013, charting the Shelby gang’s rise in 1920s and 1930s Birmingham. The show received critical acclaim, including a BAFTA for Best Drama in 2018, and has built a lasting cultural footprint that blends crime, family drama, and historical intrigue.
The next two seasons promise to expand this legacy further, capturing a city emerging from the ashes of wartime destruction and highlighting a new generation navigating ambition, betrayal, and power. Audiences can expect the signature dark aesthetic, gripping storytelling, and unforgettable characters that made the original series a global hit.
The new episodes will air on the BBC in the UK and stream internationally on Netflix, giving fans around the world a front-row seat to witness the next chapter of the Shelby empire. For those eager to see how the Shelby legacy unfolds, the post-war streets of Birmingham are calling.
