After being heavily bombed in WWII, Birmingham is building a better future out of concrete and steel. In a new era of Steven Knight&#8217;s <em>Peaky Blinders<\/em>, the race to own Birmingham\u2019s 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.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The show will follow the\u00a0<em>Peaky Blinders<\/em>\u00a0movie, which is currently in post-production and due out next year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;I&#8217;m thrilled to be announcing this new chapter in the <em>Peaky Blinders<\/em> story,&#8221; Knight said in a statement. &#8220;Once again it will be rooted in Birmingham and will tell the story of a city rising from the ashes of the Birmingham blitz.\u00a0The new generation of Shelbys have taken the wheel and it will be a hell of a ride.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">As with select scenes from the\u00a0<em>Peaky Blinders<\/em>\u00a0movie, the new\u00a0series will be shot at Knight&#8217;s Digbeth Loc. Studios in Birmingham.\u00a0Both seasons will be produced by Kudos (<em>SAS Rogue Heroes, House of Guinness, Grantchester<\/em>) and Garrison Drama, which worked on <em>Peaky Blinders <\/em>seasons 1 through 6 and the movie.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Karen Wilson\u00a0and Martin Haines (Kudos), Jamie Glazebrook (Garrison Drama), and Jo McClellan (BBC) will serve as executive producers alongside Murphy and Knight. Mona Qureshi and Toby Bentley will oversee it for Netflix.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Following the rise and fall of the fictional Shelby family circa 1900s England, the original series ran for nearly a decade, from 2013 to 2022, and helped launch Murphy to even greater heights as an international star. It also starred Paul Anderson, Sophie Rundle, and Helen McCrory.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The show&#8217;s conclusion devastated many fans, but after\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ew.com\/tv\/how-peaky-blinders-ends-six-seasons\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:the series finale;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">the series finale<\/a>\u00a0aired in June 2022,\u00a0<em>Peaky\u00a0<\/em>punks (<em>Blinder<\/em>-ites?) knew they would get at least some form of closure with a follow-up\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ew.com\/tv\/peaky-blinders-movie-spin-offs\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:film on its way;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">film on its way<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;We&#8217;re going to end the series as it is at the moment, but we&#8217;re going to do the movie, which we&#8217;ll shoot in 18 months time, maybe a little bit longer,&#8221;
