Cue up "Red Right Hand," because the Peaky Blinders are back, this time with their own movie. After six beloved seasons, a Peaky Blinders movie is officially on the way via Netflix, with show creator Steven Knight, series star Cillian Murphy and director Tom Harper teaming up to continue the story of Tommy Shelby and his family.

After a lot of speculation that a Peaky Blinders movie was on the way, Netflix officially confirmed it on June 4, two years after the final episodes of the show aired for fans. Production is now underway for the movie and more and more information is starting to come in.

When is the movie coming out? Who else is starring in it? Here is everything that we know about the Peaky Blinders movie right now.

Peaky Blinders movie release date

We don't have any information on a Peaky Blinders movie release date at this time.

As we said, production on the Peaky Blinders is underway, meaning you can forget about the idea that the movie could be added to the slate of 2024 new movies. Instead, the earliest we would likely get the Peaky Blinders movie is mid 2025. 

With the movie being made by Netflix, we also don't know if it is going to be one of the rare Netflix original movies to get a release in movie theaters or if it's going to premiere exclusively on the streaming service.

As any news about the movie's release is announced we'll update it here.

Peaky Blinders cast

It wouldn't be Peaky Blinders without Cillian Murphy as Tommy Shelby, and sure enough the Best Actor winner from Oppenheimer, is donning the cap once again for the movie. The rest of the Peaky Blinders movie cast is filled with series regulars and a number of exciting new additions as well.

Netflix has confirmed that returning to the world of Peaky Blinders is Sophie Rundle as Ada Shelby, Ned Dennehy as Charlie Strong, Packy Lee as Johnny Dogs, Ian Peck as Curly and Stephen Graham as Hayden Stagg. Paul Anderson, who played Tommy's older brother Arthur Shelby, is not listed among the cast at this time.

As far new actors joining the world of Peaky Blinders, Rebecca Ferguson (Dune: Part Two), Tim Roth (Reservoir Dogs), Barry Keoghan (Saltburn) and Jay Lycurgo (Titans) are all in the movie in as yet unspecified roles.

Peaky Blinders plot

The last time that we saw Tommy Shelby he was riding off into the sunset, with it revealed that his supposed brain tumor was a ploy and he is not going to die. But having taken care of all of his affairs believing his time was up, for the first time in a long time Tommy's road is wide open.

That being said, there are no confirmed plot details on the Peaky Blinders movie, aside from the fact that show creator Steve Knight wrote the script and that he has previously said it is supposed to take place during World War Two.

Here is what Knight said about the movie in an official release from Netflix:

"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."
