Peaky Blinders has reached a significant new chapter. Following the conclusion of the series focusing on Cillian Murphy’s character, Tommy Shelby, a spin-off film, ‘The Immortal Man’, was released. Notably, it premiered on Netflix and in cinemas before airing on the BBC, the show’s original broadcaster.
The new series will follow Duke and Charles, Tommy Shelby’s children, portrayed by Jamie Bell and Charlie Heaton. It will air on BBC in the UK and be available on Netflix everywhere else.
Steven Knight, the creator of Peaky Blinders, recently revealed the reason for the show’s different homes over time. He explained that Netflix funded the majority of the film’s production costs.
According to Sir David Knight, the BBC isn’t likely to approve that funding request, as he stated during a parliamentary inquiry about the organization’s plans.
Despite everything, Knight emphasized that Peaky Blinders wouldn’t have been made without the BBC taking a chance on it.
He believes Peaky Blinders wouldn’t have been possible anywhere else besides the BBC. The show is unique and doesn’t really fit with typical trends, and he feels the BBC often takes risks on projects like his – not every time, but frequently.
He pointed out that the BBC has always been known for not offering the highest salaries, but it’s a place where people can truly express themselves. He also noted that there’s less pressure to participate in endless meetings just to prove your worth.

Dame Sharon White, the BBC’s chair, appeared before a parliamentary committee to discuss how the BBC is preparing for the future of media, especially as its governing agreement comes up for renewal.
Okay, so here’s the latest on the Peaky Blinders continuation. As of right now, it looks like only two familiar faces will be joining the new series. Thankfully, we’ll still see Ned Dennehy as the ever-reliable Charlie Strong and Packy Lee reprising his role as Johnny Dogs. It’s a small start, but definitely good news for fans who loved those characters!
Peaky Blinders is set to return in 2027.
