The Shelby legacy lives on.
The upcoming Netflix sequel film to the hit series Peaky Blinders will not be the final installment of the franchise after all. A spinoff series is in the works, and two seasons have already been ordered.
So, what can fans expect from the upcoming series? Well, as the streamer and the BBC announced Oct. 2, the new show will be set in Britain in 1953—about a decade after the movie.
“After being heavily bombed in WWII, Birmingham is building a better future out of concrete and steel,” the log line for the new series notes. “In a new era of Steven Knight‘s Peaky Blinders, the race to own Birmingham’s massive reconstruction project becomes a brutal contest of mythical dimensions. This is a city of unprecedented opportunity and danger, with the Shelby family right at its blood-soaked heart.”
The sequel series follow a new generation of the family of Tommy Shelby, who Cillian Murphy played on the original show—which ran for six seasons until 2022—and in the upcoming movie Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man.
