I want to see these 3 things in the new Peaky Blinders sequel series

Netflix has confirmed that a sequel centered around the Shelby family is in development, but the Peaky Blinders saga is not stopping there – a new series will also be making its debut.

Crafted by Steven Knight, the mind behind the original series, the upcoming project will include two seasons exploring a new generation of Shelbys. Set in Birmingham during 1953, it will follow the family’s dynamics in a landscape still healing from the aftermath of World War II. The heavily bombarded city was entering a period of reconstruction, yielding fresh prospects for both its citizens and the criminal factions.

This announcement is sure to thrill devoted Peaky Blinders fans, yet I find myself conflicted.

Back in 2013, I found myself on a quest for a series that could fill the void left by the conclusion of Breaking Bad. Peaky Blinders had all the right elements: an engaging mob narrative, striking visuals, a compelling and complex protagonist, a stellar supporting cast, and an exceptional soundtrack. I was quickly immersed in the somber atmosphere of 1920s Birmingham and captivated by Cillian Murphy’s piercing blue eyes.

However, the initial enchantment didn’t persist. By the fourth season, I felt fatigued by Tommy’s apparent invincibility and the increasingly unbelievable plot turns. The elements of ghosts and curses introduced in subsequent seasons took things to an even weirder level.

Despite my reservations regarding the idea of a Shelby universe (as it seems that the ‘universe’ model is now a trend in television), the new series from the BBC and Netflix could still win me over. It just needs to satisfy three essential requirements.

1. An exceptional cast

Peaky Blinders wouldn’t have achieved such viral fame without Cillian Murphy, whose portrayal of Tommy Shelby was the series’ emotional core. The supporting cast also deserves accolades for their unforgettable performances, including the late Helen McCrory as Aunt Polly, Paul Anderson as Arthur Shelby, Sam Neill as Major Campbell, and Tom Hardy as Alfie Solomons.

The original series is known for its iconic characters, and the sequel has the opportunity to expand on that legacy. The early descriptions indicate that the cast will trend younger, potentially introducing fresh British (and Irish) talent alongside seasoned actors.

If I could cast my ideal ensemble, I would love to see Harris Dickinson, Joseph Quinn, Leo Woodall, or the young yet impressive Owen Cooper in the mix. And for female leads, I’m hoping for the likes of Florence Pugh or Mia Goth.

2. Captivating visuals

Steven Knight’s depiction of the 1920s diverges dramatically from the grandeur shown in Downton Abbey. Instead of romanticizing the lives of the elite, it thrusts the audience into the stark reality of working-class Birmingham.

My journey with Peaky Blinders began as I developed a fondness for vintage fashion. Though the series featured only limited opulence, its unvarnished portrayal of the interwar period captured my imagination. Not to mention, the Shelby family’s unique hairstyles and attire boasted as much elegance as any lord’s finest suit.

The 1950s will be another intriguing era for costumes and set designs. As Birmingham undergoes its reconstruction, it provides a striking setting for this gangster tale. I hope the creators retain an authentic representation of the city and its people, while celebrating the classic fashion and cultural design of the time.

3. A script grounded in realism

All I ask is this – please no ghosts. While the mysterious vibe surrounding Tommy in the show’s opening was intriguing, supernatural elements are not what I seek from a gritty gangster narrative.

I would prefer a sharp focus on illegal dealings, power struggles with rival gangs, and underhanded negotiations with political players and law enforcement. Think more along the lines of *The Wire*, and less like a soap opera.

So far, there hasn’t been an official announcement regarding the release date for the new Peaky Blinders series. However, we do know it will stream on BBC iPlayer and BBC One in the UK, and will be available worldwide on Netflix. Cillian Murphy will join Steven Knight and others as a co-executive producer on the series.
