Peaky Blinders film release date shared as creator says 'not the end'

The creator of Peaky Blinders Steven Knight has confirmed that the much-anticipated film version of the hit BBC series , is not going to signify the end of the franchise. The beloved show, which saw its sixth series conclude in 2022, is transitioning to the big screen with fan-favourite Cillian Murphy reprising his role as the iconic Birmingham gangster Tommy Shelby.

Even though filming for the movie, which picks up after the TV drama’s storyline and is set to stream on Netflix, has concluded, viewers can expect about a year’s wait before it hits screens. During an interview with Times Radio, when prodded about a specific release date, Knight remarked: "It's a bit too soon for that, but you know, you can sort of work out that it will be about a year."

He sparked further intrigue by mentioning the possibility of continuing the Peaky Blinders saga beyond the film, stating: "It's interesting you should ask that question because the film is coming out and that won't be the end."
