Peaky Blinders series creator Steven Knight confirms Cillian Murphy will return for the movie. Academy Award-winner Murphy portrayed Birmingham gang leader Tommy Shelby in the hugely popular BBC period crime drama, which ran six seasons and 36 episodes between 2013 and 2022. The show followed the Shelby family and their gang, the Peaky Blinders, from 1919 through the Prohibition Era of 1933, with Tommy seeking opportunities to turn away from a life of crime and even venture into politics. The long-teased Peaky Blinders feature film was finally confirmed earlier this year, but it left questions about whether Murphy would return.
