Birmingham, UK - A fresh chapter in the Peaky Blinders saga is unfolding, with new cast members announced for a forthcoming spin-off series. The production, a joint venture between the BBC and Netflix, is slated to pick up the narrative approximately a decade after the events of the recently released film, Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man.
The new series, commissioned for two six-episode seasons, will return to its roots in post-war Birmingham, exploring a city grappling with the aftermath of devastation and rebuilding.
Several actors are confirmed to join the ensemble. Jamie Bell takes on a significant role, alongside Charlie Heaton, known for his work in Stranger Things. Jessica Brown Findlay of Downton Abbey fame and Lashana Lynch, recognized for her part in The Day Of The Jackal, are also part of the new cast. Actress Lucy Karczewski will make her television debut in the series.

Creator Steven Knight has expressed his enthusiasm for the project, hinting at a continuation of the franchise's signature "gritty, dramatic world." The showrunner previously announced the new series in October 2025, describing it as a "new chapter" where "the new generation of Shelbys have taken the wheel."
Filming is set to commence in Birmingham, a choice underscored by the BBC's director of drama, Lindsay Salt, who referred to the series as another "epic" offering. While specific plot details beyond the 1950s setting and the theme of rebuilding remain under wraps, the involvement of established and emerging talent signals a continued commitment to the Peaky Blinders universe.
The previous film, The Immortal Man, is noted as a recent expansion of the franchise, with actor Cillian Murphy reprising his iconic role as Tommy Shelby. The new series' narrative will directly follow this film's events, placing it firmly in the mid-20th century.
