Production
The British television series Peaky Blinders ran for six seasons between 2013 and 2022. Speaking in January 2021, show creator Steven Knight discussed the future of the Peaky Blinders storytelling ahead of the conclusion of the sixth series and suggested a feature-length movie could be produced as continuation of the story. Producers on the film are Knight, Caryn Mandabach, Cillian Murphy and Guy Heeley.

Speaking to Rolling Stone magazine in May 2023, actor Cillian Murphy, who played lead character Tommy Shelby in all six series, indicated a willingness to return to the character, saying "If there’s more story there, I’d love to do it. But it has to be right. Steve Knight wrote 36 hours of television, and we left on such a high. I’m really proud of that last series. So, it would have to feel legitimate and justified to do more." In December 2023, Knight confirmed that he was finalising the script for the film.

In March 2024, Knight confirmed that Murphy would be returning for the film to reprise his role as Tommy Shelby. Principal photography is expected to commence in September 2024, in Digbeth at Knight's Digbeth Loc Studios.
