Steven Knight teases more projects in Peaky Blinders franchise

Writer Steven Knight says the upcoming Peaky Blinders movie may not be the last project in the franchise, headlined by Cillian Murphy. Murphy is reprising his role as Birmingham gangster Tommy Shelby from the 2013 drama series Peaky Blinders in the new film, directed by Tom Harper. Knight, who created the original show and has penned the movie, was asked whether there are any “plans for more Peaky Blinders beyond” the film. “Well, it’s interesting you should ask that question because the film is coming out and that won’t be the end,” he told U.K.’s Times Radio. The screenwriter, however, didn’t disclose whether it’s another series or film. Knight also said while shooting on the Peaky Blinders movie was complete, the release date is yet to be decided. (PTI)
