Netflix is finally making a Peaky Blinders movie with Cillian Murphy

Netflix is finally making a Peaky Blinders movie with Cillian Murphy. Here’s what we know.

If you’re a big fan of the BBC crime series Peaky Blinders, the beloved show is finally getting the cinematic treatment.

Netflix confirmed on Tuesday that Oscar winner Cillian Murphy will reprise his role as Tommy Shelby in an upcoming Peaky Blinders movie on the streaming playform.

“It seems like Tommy Shelby wasn’t finished with me,” Murphy said via Netflix. “It is very gratifying to be recollaborating with Steven Knight and Tom Harper on the film version of Peaky Blinders. This is one for the fans.”

Show director Harper will helm the film, while Knight, who created the series, will pen the script. Murphy played the antihero Shelby in six seasons of the show, with the most recent season airing in 2022.

“I’m genuinely thrilled that this movie is about to happen,” Knight told Netflix about the movie. “It will be an explosive chapter in the Peaky Blinders story. No holds barred. Full on Peaky Blinders at war.”

There’s no release date set for the project, but a 2025 or 2026 release would track the announcement timeline.

Cillian Murphy gave a delightful speech after winning Best Actor for Oppenheimer

Cillian Murphy is the latest actor to win an Oscar for playing a real-life person.

Cillian Murphy has finally won his Oscar.

The veteran actor, best known for hit films like 28 Days Later and Batman Begins and his leading role on Peaky Blinders, won the Academy Award for Best Actor on Sunday night for his performance in Oppenheimer.

The longtime collaborator and close friend of filmmaker Christopher Nolan finally got a lead role in one of the auteur’s films, and he didn’t waste his chance in playing J. Robert Oppenheimer, the father of the atomic bomb.

Murphy delivered a very endearing speech after winning his Oscar, one in which he thanked his family, his collaborators and specifically Nolan and his wife, Emma Thomas, for their years of support.

Murphy is one of the best actors of his generation, and it’s always a delight to see someone as talented as he is receive such a prestigious honor.

Oppenheimer has dominated Oscar night, and its lead star is just the latest to soak in the Academy Award glory.

Cillian Murphy’s awards history at the Oscars

Has Cillian Murphy ever won an Academy Award?

Cillian Murphy is one of the most recognizable actors working these days, from his breakout work in 28 Days Later to his Oscar-nominated lead role in Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer.

When you look at his history at the Academy Awards, you strangely don’t have to look very far. His nomination for Oppenheimer this year is his first with the Academy, as he’s never been recognized in the past for his acting.

It’s a very surprising thing to realize, but he very well may win on his very first nomination at the Oscars. It’d be richly deserved for what he achieves as J. Robert Oppenheimer in Nolan’s titanic film, too.
