By order of Netflix, Steven Knight's long-awaited Peaky Blinders movie is officially happening! Yes, three years since we first learned of showrunner Knight's plans to bring the Brum-set mob drama to the big screen – and two years since Series 6's epic finale saw Tommy Shelby riding off into the sunset – Deadline has confirmed that the series' feature-length follow-up has been greenlit at Netflix.

Steven Knight’s beloved British crime series “Peaky Blinders” recently ended its six season run, but fans of the show still have plenty to look forward to. Knight has long been open about his plans to continue the story with a feature film. And according to the showrunner, it could begin filming relatively soon.
“Yes, I’m writing it right now,” Knight said in a new interview on the Heart Breakfast show (via NME). “I’m nearly done writing it, and we’re going to shoot it… I’m setting up some film and television studios in Digbeth in Birmingham.”
Though the characters on “Peaky Blinders” are fictional, they are named after a similar gang with the same name. Knight revealed that he plans to shoot the film in areas where the real-life Peaky Blinders were actually active.
