Netflix’s ‘Peaky Blinders’ Sequel Series Gets a Stunning New Look
Soon. Viewers will be returning to the cobblestone streets of Victoria Square in Birmingham and, most excitingly, the Garrison Tavern. The Netflix crime thriller series, Peaky Blinders, which premiered in 2013, showcased Small Heath, Birmingham, in a way many were not familiar with from a historical context. After six seasons of a series that went on to become a pop culture phenomenon, the Cillian Murphy-led show ended its run. However, in March 2026, the franchise would return with a sequel film set during WWII in the years after the original series. Titled Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man, the crime sequel brought down the curtain on the prime figure in the blood-soaked Shelby family tree.
Besides Murphy’s Thomas “Tommy” Shelby, the conflicted and complicated head of the Shelby family, with famous quotes. Peaky Blinders during its run, introduced a swath of other important members of this famous Gypsy clan. There’s the erratic, yet courageous Arthur Shelby. The eldest of the Shelby brothers, Paul Anderson’s character could be considered a loose cannon when out of Tommy’s control. The visionary Polly Gray (Helen McCrory), the matriarch of the Shelby family, helped chart the course for the family’s success and none could compare. Ada Shelby, played by Sophia Rundle, the fourth and only female Shelby sibling, created a life for herself separate from the family business. However, her family’s sins would eventually catch up with her in The Immortal Man.
By the time the sequel film, created by series creator and film writer Steven Knight, ended, the primary nucleus of the Shelby band had been taken off the board. This leaves us with a new generation seeking to write their own story. The BBC and Netflix, in collaboration with Knight, plan to expand the saga with two 6-episode seasons that will continue the Shelby family story. According to a new report from What’s On Netflix, production on the sequel series has already begun in the United Kingdom, with BAFTA-winning actress Lashana Lynch now heading to Birmingham. The new report also shows off images from the production set, even as the Shelbys move into the 1950s.

What Lies Ahead for the ‘Peaky Blinders’?
Exact plot details for the sequel series remain under wraps, as well as Lynch’s role within the plot. Lynch, whose roles include The Woman King, Matilda the Musical, and, most recently, in Peacock’s hit thriller The Day of the Jackal, will star alongside
Cal O’Driscoll, Fintan Shevlin, and Jacob Wright. With The Immortal Man writing a concluding chapter to Tommy Shelby’s story, it would be interesting what the future of the Peaky Blinders holds in the sequel series. Given how things played out in the latest installment, Erasmus “Duke” Shelby will return to lead the family, with Jamie Bell taking over the role from Barry Keoghan. Rebecca Ferguson could return to her psychic role as well, and it’s an opportunity the Silo actress is absolutely open to.
Per the official synopsis, the new sequel is set in post-World War II Britain:
“Britain, 1953. After being heavily bombed in WWII, Birmingham is building a better future out of concrete and steel. In a new era of Steven Knight’s Peaky Blinders, the race to own Birmingham’s massive reconstruction project becomes a brutal contest of mythical dimensions. This is a city of unprecedented opportunity and danger, with the Shelby family right at its blood-soaked heart.”
