Barry Keoghan Cast in Netflix's Peaky Blinders Film

Barry Keoghan has been cast in the upcoming Peaky Blinders movie, alongside Cillian Murphy and Rebecca Ferguson, as confirmed by Netflix. This adaptation marks the continuation of the critically acclaimed gangster saga, created by Steven Knight. The project received a green light from Netflix back in June, and it is set to take place during World War II. While details of Keoghan's role remain under wraps, his recent accolades, including nominations for the BAFTA and Golden Globe for his performance in Saltburn, highlight his rising star in Hollywood. The film will be directed by Tom Harper, with production expected to start later this year.

The Peaky Blinders movie is set to expand on the beloved television series, focusing on the Shelby crime family during World War II. It promises to combine the show’s signature style and storytelling with new narrative elements, explored in a cinematic format.

The original Peaky Blinders series premiered in 2013 on BBC One and quickly gained a massive following for its gritty portrayal of gangster life in Birmingham, England, during the post-World War I era. The series earned numerous awards and is celebrated for its strong character development, engaging narrative, and stunning cinematography. After six successful seasons, the film adaptation has been highly anticipated by fans eager to see more of the Shelby family's journey.
