\n Peaky Blinders is to return with two new series focusing on a \u201cnew generation of Shelbys\u201d, the BBC has announced.<\/p>\n
It comes after the Peaky Blinders film, starring Irish actors Barry Keoghan and Cillian Murphy, wrapped filming in December last year.<\/p>\n
The new series will be set in Birmingham in 1953, when the city is building a future out of concrete and steel after the Second World War.<\/p>\n
\n Peaky Blinders creator and writer Steven Knight said: \u201cI\u2019m thrilled to be announcing this new chapter in the Peaky Blinders story.<\/p>\n
\u201cOnce again it will be rooted in Birmingham and will tell the story of a city rising from the ashes of the Birmingham blitz.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe new generation of Shelbys have taken the wheel and it will be a hell of a ride.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
While the iconic character Tommy Shelby has not been mentioned in connection with these new seasons, Murphy is returning to the franchise as an executive producer.<\/p>\n
The six-part series will air on BBC One in the UK and will be released on Netflix globally.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Peaky Blinders is to return with two new series focusing on a \u201cnew generation of Shelbys\u201d, the BBC…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":57949,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[93,61,60,6405,282],"class_list":{"0":"post-57948","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tv","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-ie","10":"tag-ireland","11":"tag-music-movies-reviews-munster","12":"tag-tv"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57948","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=57948"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57948\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/57949"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=57948"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=57948"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=57948"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
