"Of all the characters that the "manoverse" has adopted as a mascot, Peaky Blinders' Tommy Shelby probably makes the least sense. Sure, you can take a quote about being an alpha male and stick it on an image of Walter White or Joaquin Phoenix's Joker and kinda see how it makes a little sense, but Cillian Murphy's 1920s Brummie crime lord is far more concerned with the intergovernmental affairs of the United Kingdom than in cultivating his "sigma aura.""
"Netflix and the BBC have commissioned a new series from Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight, focusing on a new generation of the Shelby crime dynasty. The series will be set in 1953 and "tell the story of a city rising from the ashes of the Birmingham blitz," Knight said in a statement. "The new generation of Shelbys have taken the wheel and it will be a hell of a ride.""
Netflix and the BBC commissioned a new Peaky Blinders series from creator Steven Knight that will focus on a new generation of the Shelby crime dynasty. The series will be set in 1953 and portray Birmingham rising from the ashes of the blitz. The still-unnamed series has already been renewed for a second season. The project is separate from The Immortal Man, a continuation movie that stars Cillian Murphy and completed production in December 2024, with no Netflix release plan announced. Steven Knight has developed multiple Peaky Blinders spinoffs, and Murphy appears unlikely to star in the new series.
