Peaky Blinders movie: Release date speculation, cast, latest news

As a film enthusiast who has grown up with Peaky Blinders being a staple of my weekly TV viewing, I couldn’t be more excited for the upcoming big screen adaptation! The announcement that production is set to begin later this year and Cillian Murphy’s return as Tommy Shelby, alongside the addition of Rebecca Ferguson to the cast, has left me eagerly anticipating every detail that’s yet to be revealed.


Any TV enthusiast is eagerly waiting for the highly anticipated upcoming movies based on Peaky Blinders, which is set to make a big-screen debut.

2024 marked the official confirmation from Netflix that my beloved series had been given the go-ahead in June, following a series of tantalizing hints by our talented showrunner, Steven Knight. The news came with an exciting twist – none other than Oscar-winning actor Cillian Murphy will reprise his unforgettable role as Tommy Shelby.

Additionally, July brought an extra dash of excitement as rumors swirled about a well-known actor, Rebecca Ferguson from Mission: Impossible, joining the film’s cast. So far, we don’t know much about her character in the movie, but it promises to be intriguing to see how she contributes to the Birmingham gangster storyline.

When the film’s production was announced, Murphy expressed his joy by saying, “I’m thrilled to be working with Steven Knight and director Tom Harper again. It’s a treat for the fans.”

As a fervent admirer of the Peaky Blinders saga, I can’t contain my excitement! This upcoming movie promises to deliver an electrifying installment in the series. It’s going to be all guns blazing, a no-holds-barred, full-on battle for the Peaky Blinders!

Since the final season of the hit series ended in 2022, plans for a spin-off have been in development. Notably, star Knight has expressed a strong interest in continuing the storyline through a movie instead of another season, aiming to keep the universe vibrant.

In an interview with The Mirror, Knight had earlier mentioned: “The primary distinction between a movie and a television series lies in the budget. When working on TV, you frequently need to prompt people to visualize it. However, a film allows you to truly execute it. You can even blow things up. Will Tommy be able to match James Bond’s pace?”

1. “Perhaps. There’s a resemblance. We’ve often considered ‘Peaky’ as quite cinematic, so now we’re excitedly discovering a screen large enough for our intended vision.”

Based on my experience working in the film industry, I can tell you that releasing a movie and announcing the cast involves a complex process. Generally speaking, we don’t have an exact date for the release just yet. The production team needs to finish post-production, which includes editing, sound design, and marketing. Once those elements are in place, the studio will set a release date.

Peaky Blinders movie release date speculation

Unfortunately, there’s still no word on the confirmed release date for the Peaky Blinders film.

According to Deadline’s report, filming for the movie is scheduled to begin towards the end of this year. Consequently, an release date before the end of 2025 seems uncertain.

1. Netflix officially gave the go-ahead to the film, announcing it via Twitter (now known as X), sharing an image of a thick script along with the news.

“Announcing the return of Thomas Shelby: A Peaky Blinders film featuring Cillian Murphy will be streaming on Netflix.”

“Tommy Shelby is making a comeback. I’m thrilled to once again work with Steven Knight and Tom Harper on the Netflix film adaptation of Peaky Blinders, featuring Cillian Murphy in the lead role.”
