Cillian Murphy returning as Tommy Shelby for ‘Peaky Blinders’ movie, says Steven Knight

“Peaky Blinders” also features Paul Anderson as Arthur Shelby, Sophie Rundle as Ada Shelby, and Joe Cole as John Shelby, the gang’s senior members.

Late actor Helen McCrory starred in the show as Elizabeth “Polly” Gray for five seasons before she died of breast cancer in 2021.

The show, which started on BBC Two in 2013, moved to BBC One, and eventually became a worldwide phenomenon after it became available on Netflix.

Murphy’s popularity also soared, owing to his portrayal of the charismatic Tommy Shelby in the series.

He recently won an Oscar for his performance in Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer”.
