Peaky Blinders Sequel Series Gets Two-Season Green Light at BBC and Netflix: Shelby Legacy Lives On

Grab your razor-laced caps, folks — the Shelbys are back. Well, sort of. The highly anticipated Peaky Blinders sequel series, brainchild of creator Steven Knight, has officially been given a two-season order by both the BBC and Netflix. That’s right. We’re not getting just one helping of post-war gangster drama, but two full servings. Bless whoever signed off on that.

New Era, Same Shelby Swagger

Set in 1953 Britain, the sequel series promises a gritty, emotionally charged continuation of the Shelby legacy. While Tommy Shelby may or may not make a return in front of the camera (more on that in a bit), the torch will be passed to a new generation of Shelbys navigating a country still licking its wounds after World War II.

The industrial heart of Birmingham will once again serve as the stage, now under reconstruction after heavy bombing. Expect smog, soot, secrets, and yes, lots of stylish coats.

Who's Involved Behind the Scenes?

Steven Knight returns as the showrunner, proving he’s not done tormenting his characters (and us). Cillian Murphy is also on board as executive producer, which strongly hints he’s keeping one eye on the Shelby empire. No official casting has been confirmed yet, but let’s just say we wouldn’t be surprised if Tommy strolled in for one last deal with the devil.

Produced by Kudos and Garrison Drama, the show is set to air on the BBC in the UK and stream globally on Netflix, giving fans everywhere another reason to cancel social plans.

What About the Peaky Blinders Movie?

Don’t panic. The film titled The Immortal Man is still happening and will reportedly feature Cillian Murphy in a leading role. The sequel series appears to be expanding the universe rather than rewriting it, meaning fans get the best of both worlds — cinematic spectacle and serialized chaos.

Long Live the Peaky Universe

The Shelby family may be evolving, but the soul of Peaky Blinders remains intact. With a fresh time period, new faces, and the original creative forces returning, this sequel series has all the makings of another binge-worthy obsession. Buckle up. The Peaky Blinders train isn’t slowing down anytime soon.
