Peaky Blinders Returns With a New Shelby Generation
It’s official— Peaky Blinders is coming back to our screens, and not just in a small way. The Shelby family’s story, which many thought had ended with the sixth season in 2022, is being revived for a bold new chapter. Two brand-new series have been ordered, and they’ll pick up the saga in 1953, right after Birmingham had been ravaged by the Second World War and was starting to rebuild itself out of rubble, steel, and ambition.

Now, what makes this really exciting is how the creators are framing the new era. Steven Knight, the writer and creator of Peaky Blinders , has revealed that this next chapter will focus on a new generation of Shelbys. The gang’s influence isn’t fading—it’s just shifting hands. Birmingham itself becomes the battlefield, where power, opportunity, and corruption collide in the fight to control the city’s massive reconstruction project. Knight described it as a contest of “mythical dimensions,” with the Shelby family still at the blood-soaked heart of it all.
This continuation doesn’t just come out of nowhere. Fans may remember that when the sixth season wrapped, it was billed as the “end of an epic story.” But hints were dropped that the Shelbys’ tale would carry on in other forms. That promise is now being fulfilled, first with a movie called The Immortal Man , which will take place during the early years of World War II. Cillian Murphy is reprising his role as Tommy Shelby for the film, alongside a powerhouse cast that includes Barry Keoghan, Stephen Graham, and Rebecca Ferguson. And then, directly following that, we’ll step into the 1950s with these two new television seasons.
What’s especially notable here is Cillian Murphy’s involvement behind the scenes. While it hasn’t been confirmed whether he’ll return on screen after the film, he has been named as one of the executive producers for the new series. That suggests he’ll be helping shape how the Shelby legacy gets passed on to the next generation. It’s a natural evolution: the Shelbys started as a scrappy street gang in the 1920s, became an empire by the 1930s, and now their children and successors are stepping into a Britain that’s rising, but also deeply divided.
The BBC will air the show in the UK, while Netflix will carry it worldwide, making sure the Peaky Blinders phenomenon continues to reach its global audience. For Birmingham, this is more than just a TV production—it’s a cultural and economic boost. Local officials have even praised the series for putting the city on the world stage and creating opportunities for the region’s creative industries.
So, fans who thought the Shelby saga was over can breathe easy. The Shelbys aren’t done yet. In fact, they’re gearing up for what might be their most ambitious and brutal chapter so far. By the order of the Peaky Blinders, the story lives on.
