Steven Knight provides updates for the Peaky Blinders movie

The long-awaited Peaky Blinders feature picture spin-off will be shot at writer Steven Knight‘s Birmingham studios. Knight also stated to British radio station Heart FM that he was close to finishing the writing for the film. The picture has been in the works for a long time, and production should begin “within 18 months,” according to his estimates.

“We’re going to shoot it at the studios in Digbeth and on location in Digbeth in Birmingham. Digbeth and Small Heath [are] where the Peaky Blinders actually roamed, so it’s like Peaky’s coming home,” said the show creator.

Many of the Caryn Mandabach-produced series’ main members, including Cillian Murphy, Paul Anderson, and Tom Hardy, will return, according to Knight. But he plans to introduce “some new faces that will hopefully be quite surprising.” Steve further went on to talk about the script’s status, mentioning he was “nearly done.” 

While talking about a potential release date, the 62-year-old screenwriter said that he did not have one in mind and that it would depend on the distributors. The wait indeed is a long one. But fans are surely eager to see the story of the Blinders conclude after the thrilling climax of season six left everyone wanting for more.
