Peaky Blinders – The Real Story – TRAILER

by

With the new Peaky Blinders movie on the way, we’re exploring the true historical events that inspired both the series and the film, as seen in the trailer for Peaky Blinders – The Real Story.

Peaky Blinders, a stylish and intense crime drama set after World War I, first aired on BBC Two in September 2013. The show quickly gained a following thanks to its compelling story about a Birmingham gang, its striking visuals, and a fantastic cast including Cillian Murphy, Sam Neill, and Helen McCrory. However, no one anticipated just how incredibly popular it would become worldwide.

For over six seasons, the show has been a huge cultural influence, inspiring fashion choices, baby names, and winning numerous awards. It’s attracted famous fans like David Bowie, Leonard Cohen, and Snoop Dogg, and become a national favorite. However, the history of the actual Peaky Blinders gang dates back over a hundred years before the show became a pop culture phenomenon.

As a total movie buff – especially when it comes to historical dramas – I found this documentary really fascinating. It dives deep into the real story behind the Peaky Blinders, separating what we see on screen from the actual history. They used old documents and talked to experts like Carl Chinn, who practically is the world’s leading authority on the Peaky Blinders – he’s even a great-grandson of one of the gang members! He really helped peel back the layers and show who these guys actually were and what was really going on back then – it’s way more detailed and interesting than just the TV show.

Series creator Steven Knight has shared how the show is rooted in his personal connection to the true story of the criminal organization it depicts. Production designer Grant Montgomery and critic Michael Hogan discuss the show’s significant cultural impact, tracing its journey from the written page to the screen. They also examine how its compelling plots, memorable music choices, and enduring characters have reshaped the crime drama genre.
