Netflix has announced that Rebecca Ferguson, known for her roles in the Mission: Impossible and Dune franchises, will join Cillian Murphy in a feature film based on the Peaky Blinders series.
Streaming giant Netflix has greenlit a film project based on the popular series about Thomas Shelby, the war hero turned gangster who rose through the Birmingham crime ranks in the early 20th century. The film is being billed as a continuation of the TV saga, but details of the plot and Ferguson’s role are being kept under wraps.
Cillian Murphy will be reprising his iconic role as Thomas Shelby. When the film was announced, the actor commented:
“It looks like Tommy Shelby isn’t done with me yet…”
The series is being written by Steven Knight, the creator of the original series. Tom Harper, who directed episodes of the first series of Peaky Blinders, will direct. Knight, Karin Mendebach, Murphy and Guy Healy will produce, in association with BBC Film.
Rebecca Ferguson recently appeared on the big screen in Dune 2. The actress will next be seen in the second season of Apple TV+’s sci-fi series Bunker and the Amazon MGM thriller Mercy, where she will star alongside Chris Pratt.
