'Peaky Blinders' Two Season Order Will Usher in a New Era

By the order of the Peaky Blinders, we're going back to Birmingham. Again.

After months of rumors, the BBC and Netflix have confirmed that the popular gangland historical drama will return to our screens for not one but two new seasons. Though this run of new episodes will follow the forthcoming Peaky feature film, titled The Immortal Man, it will catapult the series's story the better part of a decade into the future and introduce a new generation of protagonists to follow along the way.

Filming wrapped last year on the long-planned movie, which will see Oscar-winner Cillian Murphy (Oppenheimer) reprise his role as gang leader Tommy Shelby (presumably for the last time). Details about its story are scarce, but it will reportedly follow the Shelbys through the events of World War II. The new seasons of the TV show will jump forward in time to 1953, and a Birmingham that's still struggling to dig itself out from the ruins of the Blitz. And a new generation of the family is there to take advantage of the opportunities available in the city's rebirth.
