Two Peaky Blinders Netflix spin-offs 'in the works' - everything we know so far

Netflix is reportedly planning to film two Peaky Blinders spin-offs.

Reports by Bloomberg claim that the streaming service is entering a 'franchise era' with plans underway for a number of spin-offs for hit shows including Wednesday, Extraction, and Peaky Blinders. Although Netflix hasn't made any official announcement about Peaky Blinders, the report claims that two spin-offs of the Birmingham-inspired gangster series are planned.

The show's creator Steven Knight has confirmed that filming will begin for the new Peaky Blinders movie in 2024, although the spin-offs will be unrelated to the film.

What will the spin-off shows be about?

The BBC series focused on the rise of the Peaky Blinders gang, who were led by Tommy Shelby (played by Cillian Murphy) in Birmingham between 1919 and the early 1930s. According to Bloomberg, one of the spin-offs would be set in Boston during the middle of the 20th century, a couple decades after the original Peaky Blinders.

A second spin-off would reportedly focus on Aunt Polly, the matriarch of the criminal Shelby clan who was played by the late Helen McCrory in the BBC series. No further information has been released about the potential spin-offs but fans of the show should be excited by the news.

Steven Knight previously confirmed that the final series of the show wouldn't be the end of the Peaky Blinders story and that a number of side-projects were in the works. As it stands, fans can no look forward to two television spin-offs and a film.

Previously, Knight touched on the plot for the movie, revealing plans for the film to be set during the second World War. He said: “Peaky – in this incarnation – comes to an end,” Knight said about series six. “But we’re doing a film which will also carry on the family and the stories into the Second World War.” The casr for the film hasn't been confirmed yet, but Cillian Murphy has hinted on a few occassions that he would be interested in returning as Tommy Shelby to feature in it.

When asked by Deadline in the summer if he has could feature in the film, Murphy said: "If there's a story to be told, i'll be there."
