AceShowbiz - The beloved crime drama Peaky Blinders is set to return with a new sequel series, bringing fresh turmoil to the Shelby family saga. Recently released set images offer fans their first glimpse of the next generation of the Shelby gang as filming officially begins.

Production on the sequel series is taking place at locations across England including Stoke-on-Trent, the Queen’s Theatre, and Digbeth Loc. Studios in Birmingham. The new story arc is set in 1953, continuing the narrative after the events of the upcoming film, The Immortal Man.

The sequel will consist of two six-part seasons, each episode running an hour long. The storyline is centered around post-war Birmingham, a city rebuilding from the devastation of WWII with new ambitions fueled by concrete and steel. As the city undergoes massive reconstruction, a fierce battle unfolds to control this lucrative project. The Shelby family once again finds itself at the violent core of this struggle, where opportunity and peril exist side by side.

Set photos spotlight younger members of the Shelby family taking the reins, introducing fresh faces such as Cal O'Driscoll, Fintan Shevlin, and Jacob Wright. This shift highlights the passing of the torch within the gang’s hierarchy.

The film The Immortal Man is scheduled to premiere on Netflix. It depicts Tommy Shelby’s return from a self-imposed exile amid the chaos of World War II, confronting his darkest challenges. The movie also introduces Barry Keoghan to the franchise.

While the exact release date for the Peaky Blinders sequel series remains unconfirmed, anticipation is high for the continuation of the Shelby family saga. Returning fans and new viewers alike can expect a gripping exploration of power, loyalty, and survival as Birmingham transforms in the mid-20th century.
