Peaky Blinders will return with two new sequel series, Netflix and the BBC announced today. Each series will run for six episodes and will premiere after the release of the upcoming Peaky Blinders feature film, now in post-production. Both projects will be filmed at Digbeth Loc. Studios in Birmingham, keeping the story close to its roots.

The sequel shifts to 1953, as Britain rebuilds after World War II. Birmingham, still scarred from bombings, becomes the stage for a brutal contest over the city’s reconstruction. With industry and opportunity on the line, the Shelby family once again finds itself in the thick of power struggles, crime, and survival.

Series creator Steven Knight said the new chapter will honor the show’s origins while charting bold new territory. “Once again it will be rooted in Birmingham and will tell the story of a city rising from the ashes of the Birmingham blitz,” Knight explained. “The new generation of Shelbys have taken the wheel and it will be a hell of a ride.”

This 90s Star Trek: The Next Generation episode speaks volumes in the digital age. This one line captures the weight of modern connection and the need for quiet. Read this TalkTeaV brief spotlight.

The production comes from Kudos (SAS Rogue Heroes, Grantchester) and Garrison Drama, which produced the original series and the film. Executive producers include Cillian Murphy, Karen Wilson, Martin Haines, Jamie Glazebrook, and representatives from both the BBC and Netflix.

Netflix’s Mona Qureshi called the return “a new chapter” for a global audience eager to revisit Birmingham’s streets. BBC Drama director Lindsay Salt said the original series “made a huge impact when it first came to our screens 12 years ago” and promised more of the high-stakes storytelling fans expect.

No premiere date has been set for the sequel series, but production is expected to begin following the film’s release. For longtime fans, the announcement marks the start of another ambitious era for one of the most acclaimed crime dramas of the past decade.
