Last month, the streaming giant revealed that production on the movie has officially begun as it shared a photo of series creator Steven Knight along with the Hollywood star on set.

“By order of the Peaky Blinders…Tommy Shelby is back. Cillian Murphy and Steven Knight are reunited on set as production officially starts on the upcoming Netflix film,” the streamer revealed in an Instagram post.

The script for the movie was written by Knight who is also co-producing alongside Murphy, Caryn Mandabach and Guy Heeley.

Following the announcement of the movie in June, Murphy said, “It seems like Tommy Shelby wasn’t finished with me. … It is very gratifying to be recollaborating with Steven Knight and Tom Harper on the film version of Peaky Blinders.”
