Peaky Blinders is set to expand its universe with not one but two upcoming spinoffs, as reported by Bloomberg.
The first spinoff unfolds in 20th-century Boston, decades after the original series, introducing new narrative possibilities. The second focuses on Polly, played by the late Helen McCrory, the matriarch of the Shelby criminal clan.
Given McCrory’s passing in 2021, the spinoff may explore Polly’s earlier years.
The Boston-set spinoff’s direction remains uncertain, but the shift in time could pave the way for diverse storylines, potentially involving characters introduced in Peaky Blinders Season 6 in South Boston.
The original series, led by Cillian Murphy as Thomas “Tommy” Shelby, premiered on BBC One in 2013, set in post-World War I Birmingham.
The show’s success prompted discussions about a spinoff movie, which is now in the final stages of writing, according to creator Steven Knight. Filming is slated to begin in the middle of the next year.
Cillian Murphy expressed openness to returning for the movie, acknowledging the challenge of transitioning from a successful series to a film format. The details about the release dates for the spinoffs remain undisclosed, but the spinoff film is anticipated to arrive sooner.
