As we all wait in anticipation for the new Peaky Blinders film news of series seven of the crime drama has fans and us here at The Yorkshireman into a frenzy. The Birmingham gangsters are around for a while longer with the drama, it’s said, being set in the 1950s.
The Immortal Man, the Peaky Blinder film set during the Second World War, drops later this year, but the series, is said to be set around the time of the Teddy Boys and the Kray twins. Ladbible reports that filming is starting this summer with BBC bosses aiming to air it in 2026.
Let’s hope that Cillian Murphy returns once more as the iconic Tommy Shelby. The Sun reported that Steven Knight “couldn’t resist coming back to the story.” At this time Netflix and BBC have declined to comment – so we will have to wait for more information in anticipation.
Until then they’re is still the film to be excited for. Last year, Harper, the director of the first series, said: “When I first directed Peaky Blinders over 10 years ago, we didn’t know what the series would become, but we did know that there was something in the alchemy of the cast and the writing that felt explosive,
“Peaky has always been a story about family — and so it’s incredibly exciting to be reuniting with Steve and Cillian to bring the movie to audiences across the world on Netflix.”
Steven Knight added: “I’m genuinely thrilled that this movie is about to happen. It will be an explosive chapter in the Peaky Blinders story. No holds barred. Full-on Peaky Blinders at war.” Cillian Murphy could return as a ‘father figure’ to young gang members similar to aunt Polly Gray’s role in earlier series.
So are we Steve, so are we. Let’s just enjoy the new Peaky Blinders film, The Immortal Man, when it is expected to be released in late 2025 or early 2026.
