Netflix wants to turn Peaky Blinders into a great franchise

.

The platform's objective is clear: to transform Peaky Blinders into a saga capable of

supporting itself beyond Tommy Shelby.

The good reception of The Immortal Man accelerated plans to expand the narrative universe.

Now, Netflix is betting on building multiple stories within the same criminal world.

A New Struggle for Power in Birmingham

The series will once again focus on crime, corruption, betrayal and the fight for territorial control

.

But this time with new enemies, new alliances and a different generation vying for power.

Duke Shelby must prove that he can live up to his last name.

The Peaky Blinders universe is preparing for a historic transformation. Jamie Bell will be in charge of spearheading the next generation of Shelbys in the next sequel produced by Netflix, taking over from Cillian Murphy as the main figure of

the franchise.

The new production will seek to expand the criminal universe of Birmingham with a renewed approach, while keeping intact the essence that made the series a global phenomenon.

Duke Shelby will be the new leader of the Bell clan

and will play Duke Shelby, natural heir to the mafia family and direct successor to the legacy

built by Tommy Shelby.

The story will show a much more mature, hardened and calculating Duke than in previous versions, determined to consolidate himself as the new criminal patriarch.

Netflix is thus committed to a generational renewal that allows the saga to continue without depending exclusively on the original character.

The story moves to post-war Birmingham. The

sequel will be set in the 1950s, a decade after the events of the film The

Immortal Man.

The city of Birmingham will be marked by the consequences of the Second World War, in a context of economic reconstruction, social changes and new power struggles.

That scenario will serve as a backdrop for a new criminal war.

Steven Knight will continue to lead the project

.

One of the points most celebrated by fans is the continuity of Steven Knight, who will return as the main creative director

.

Its presence guarantees narrative, aesthetic and tonal continuity with respect to the original work.

Knight said he always wanted to explore what happened to Birmingham and the Shelby family after the war.

A completely renewed cast

The new phase of the franchise will feature important additions
