Netflix’s Peaky Blinders movie confirms major cast returns

As a seasoned gamer of the saga that is ‘Peaky Blinders’, I must say this latest development has sent a wave of excitement coursing through my veins. The return of some familiar faces, coupled with the addition of newcomers, promises an enthralling ride that I can’t wait to embark upon.


The film adaptation of “Peaky Blinders” on Netflix is bringing back several key characters along with Cillian Murphy, joined by fresh faces like Rebecca Ferguson and Barry Keoghan.

Earlier this week, it was hinted by Stephen Graham that he would reprise his role as Hayden Stagg, and now, the streaming platform has formally confirmed his return, along with Sophie Rundle, Ned Dennehy, Packy Lee, and Ian Peck.

Sophie Rundle consistently played a significant role as Ada Thorne, Tommy Shelby’s sister, in the BBC series, making her return unanticipated but expected. The question remains if Paul Anderson will reprise his character, Arthur Shelby, for another appearance.

In addition, the characters portrayed by Ned Dennehy (Charlie Strong), Packy Lee (Johnny Dogs), and Ian Peck (Curly) were all present in every season of the original BBC program as well.

Today’s (October 11) announcement also confirmed the casting of Jay Lycurgo in the movie, but like the other newcomers, we don’t yet know who he’ll be playing in the movie.

Last week, filming for the “Peaky Blinders” movie commenced, and Netflix has unveiled a sneak peek of Cillian Murphy reprising his role as Tommy Shelby.

It’s a continuation of the BBC show and is set during World War Two.

The screenwriter behind “Peaky Blinders,” Steven Knight, penned a film that’s currently under the direction of Tom Harper. Previously, Harper was responsible for Netflix’s spy thriller “Heart of Stone” as well as some episodes from the initial season of this series.

Murphy had mentioned earlier that it appeared as though Tommy Shelby wasn’t done with him. Now, he’s thrilled to once again work alongside Steven Knight and Tom Harper in the movie adaptation of “Peaky Blinders”. It’s all for the devoted fans.

Knight expressed his excitement: “It’s fantastic to watch the cameras capture the next part of the Peaky Blinders saga… Since the nation is in conflict, naturally, so are our Peaky Blinders.

The Peaky Blinders movie does not yet have a release date.
