What’s the latest update on the ‘Peaky Blinders’ movie spin-off?

Speaking to the Radio Times, ‘Peaky Blinders’ creator Steven Knight provided an exciting update on the movie spin-off, revealing that he is in the final stages of the script and that filming is slated to begin in 2024.

Knight said, “I’m just working on the final bits of it at the moment.” He added, “I just sit down at the keyboard and start. It’s a bit like having a dream, for me. You sit there and all this stuff comes, and then you read it back and think, ‘That’s pretty good—but where did it come from?’

Knight continued “The plan is to start shooting that in the middle of next year.”
