Peaky Blinders sequel, set in 1950s post-war Birmingham, will introduce viewers to a whole new generation of the crime gang, led by All of Us Strangers actor Jamie Bell and Stranger Things star Charlie Heaton, the makers said in a statement on Friday.
“I am thrilled that we are announcing a new era of Peaky Blinders, moving the story to post-war Birmingham in the early 50s. We are incredibly fortunate to have Jamie Bell taking the role of Tommy Shelby’s oldest son, Duke, and to have Charlie Heaton also leading the cast,” creator Steven Knight told Netflix’s companion site Tudum.
Jessica Brown Findlay, Lashana Lynch and Lucy Karczewski will also feature in the upcoming series.
The Peaky Blinders sequel will include two new six-episode seasons. The release date of the series is yet to be announced by the makers.
Actor Cillian Murphy headlined the original series, which premiered on BBC in 2013. The series became a worldwide phenomenon after landing on Netflix. Murphy portrayed Tommy Shelby, a World War I veteran who rises from being a local gang leader in Birmingham to businessman and ultimately a Member of Parliament. After the show ended its six season run on BBC and Netflix in 2022, the actor recently reprised the role in Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man with Oscar nominee Barry Keoghan essaying the role of Duke Shelby. The film was released on Netflix on March 20, 2026.
The sequel series, which will be written by Knight, will pick up 10 years after the events that ensued in The Immortal Man.
"In this new era of Peaky Blinders...is a city of unprecedented opportunity and jeopardy. At its blood-soaked heart is Duke Shelby (Jamie Bell): older, wiser, more ambitious, and most certainly more dangerous," reads the official logline of the upcoming sequel series, produced by Banijay UK’s Kudos and Garrison Drama for the BBC and Netflix.
