Peaky Blinders: Trailer for final season of BBC drama

Cillian Murphy is making a dapper return as Tommy Shelby, with Netflix dropping some exiting first-glimpse snaps of the upcoming Peaky Blinders flick on Monday. In a collaboration that's got fans buzzing, Netflix has joined forces with the BBC to churn out this sizzling new chapter, spilling the beans that production is now in full swing.

Peaky Blinders' mastermind Steven Knight is back in the mix with Murphy, as fresh shots reveal them together, flaunting an older version of the notorious Birmingham crime boss. This cult hit, which had viewers glued to their screens across six series on BBC from 2013 to 2022, takes a deep dive into the shady dealings of a feared Brummie gangster family post-Great War.

With its roots tangled in true gritty tales, the drama takes a leaf from the criminal antics of an actual gang that ruled the roost in Birmingham from the gritty 1880s through to the roaring '20s.

Fast-forward to the movie, helmed by series' fixture Tom Harper, and we're thrust into the throes of World War II's chaos, reports the Express.

The film's cast includes Murphy, as well as Dune's stellar Rebecca Ferguson, Barry Keoghan fresh from Saltburn, and the legendary Tim Roth of Pulp Fiction fame. While the precise parts they'll play are shrouded in mystery, Knight has dropped juicy hints that there're more titan-sized names gearing to join the fray.

Whetting appetites for the much-awaited cinematic outing, Knight shared: "I'm thrilled to see the cameras rolling on this new chapter of the Peaky Blinders story, set during World War II. The country is at war, and so, of course, are our Peaky Blinders."

Director Harper couldn't hide his excitement, remarking: "There's a great feeling of anticipation and excitement amongst our outstanding cast and crew.

"We're grateful to the fans for getting us to this point and believe this next chapter is going to deliver something extraordinary."
