When is the new Peaky Blinders series coming out? Here's what we know
The Shelbys aren't done. After The Immortal Man topped Netflix's global film chart for two straight weeks in March 2026, attention turned to the sequel series Steven Knight has been building — and there's now a lot to go on, even without a date.
Here's everything confirmed as of 2026.
When is it actually out?
No official release date yet. What we do know: the sequel was announced in October 2025 with a two-season order — two series of six hour-long episodes each — and filming has been under way since spring 2026 at Digbeth Loc. Studios in Birmingham, with additional shooting in Stoke-on-Trent. In May 2026, Knight said production was nearing completion:
"I think people are gonna be pleasantly surprised on how it's turned out," Knight said in May 2026.
With filming that far along, a 2027 premiere is the widely expected window. In the UK it'll air on BBC One and iPlayer; Netflix carries it everywhere else. Even the title is still officially open — Netflix has referred to it internally as "Peaky Blinders (Sequel)", and the name Peaky 1954 has also been floating around.
Where the story picks up
The series is set in 1950s Birmingham — a decade after The Immortal Man and 13 years after the original show's finale — as the race to rebuild the bombed-out city becomes, per the official logline, a brutal contest of mythical dimensions. Knight described it as moving the story to "post-war Birmingham in the early 50s".
Tommy's sons now carry the family name, and the whole thing is written by Knight, with Mike Barker and Anna Zackrisson directing and Kudos and Garrison Drama producing.
Who's in it
- Jamie Bell as Duke Shelby — Tommy's eldest son and gang leader, now on his third actor after Conrad Khan (series 6) and Barry Keoghan (the film).
- Charlie Heaton as Charles Shelby — Tommy's younger son, fresh from finishing Stranger Things in December 2025.
- New faces — Jessica Brown Findlay, Lashana Lynch, Conleth Hill, Daniel Monks, and Lucy Karczewski in her television debut.
- Duke's new Blinders — Samuel Bottomley, Arturo Muselli, Eugene Collins, and Lucie Shorthouse as Eliot, Angelo, Frank, and Kezia Lee.
- Returning veterans — Ned Dennehy and Packy Lee are back as Charlie Strong and Johnny Dogs.
Will Cillian Murphy appear?
Nothing has been announced, and the sequel is framed squarely as a next-generation story — the cast reveal centres entirely on Duke, Charles, and the new gang. Knight closed the announcement by promising more casting news to come, so never say never.
For the record: whatever it ends up being called, it will be the fourth on-screen incarnation of the Shelby story — six series, one film, and now two more series on the way.
