'Peaky Blinders' movie starts filming in middle of 2024 after two-year wait

SHAH ALAM – The creator of 'Peaky Blinders' reveals that filming for the sequel movie of the British period crime drama will begin in the middle of this year.

In an interview in December, last year, the show's creator Steven Knight confirmed that he was close to finishing the script for the movie.

"I’m just working on the final bits of it now.

"I just sit down at the keyboard and start. It’s a bit like having a dream for me. You sit there and all this stuff comes and then you read it back and think.

"That’s pretty good but where did it come from? The plan is to start shooting that in the middle of next year.," Knight said in the interview with British weekly magazine Radio Times.

It was reported that since the series ended, the show’s cast had been offering thoughts on whether they will be returning for the film.

In fact, in an interview with the magazine early last year, Murphy was reported saying: "I would love to do a movie if there’s more story to tell. I’ll wait and see, but I have no update for you on that."

For those unfamiliar with the series, Peaky Blinders is a drama originating from Britain that premiered in 2013 where it tells the story of a criminal group bearing the same name.

It is a gangster family epic set in 1900s England centred on a gang led by the fearsome Tommy Shelby that sewed razor blades into the peaks of their caps.

This series employed tactics such as bribery, violence, extortion and illegal trafficking as tools to maintain its control over the city.

Their relentless pursuit of power led them into confrontations with rival gangs and political entities.
