Peaky Blinders Series 7 Green-Lit for 2026

Peaky Blinders will return for a new series, officially green-lit by the BBC and set after the feature film The Immortal Man. Filming is expected to begin in September, with a likely release in 2026 on BBC One in the UK and Netflix internationally. The new season will be set in the 1950s, marking a significant time jump from previous episodes. Cillian Murphy is rumored to reprise his role as Tommy Shelby, potentially serving as a 'father figure' to a new generation of gangsters, a role compared to that of Polly Gray. The BBC has declined to comment officially, but multiple insider reports confirm that pre-production is underway. The storyline is expected to explore post-war Britain and the emergence of notorious gangs like the Teddy Boys.
