However, the show\u2019s creator Steven Knight<\/a> has now revealed that not only is he hard at work on the script, but that the film should begin shooting in the middle of 2024.<\/p>\n Knight was speaking in the Christmas double issue of Radio Times magazine<\/strong> about the Peaky Blinders ballet The Redemption of Thomas Shelby<\/a>, which will be available to watch at home over the Christmas period, when he gave an update on the film\u2019s progress.<\/p>\n Knight said: \u201cI\u2019m just working on the final bits of it at the moment. I just sit down at the keyboard and start. It\u2019s a bit like having a dream, for me. You sit there and all this stuff comes, and then you read it back and think, \u2018That\u2019s pretty good \u2013 but where did it come from?\u2019<\/p>\n \u201cThe plan is to start shooting that in the middle of next year.\u201d<\/p>\n Ever since the series came to an end, the show\u2019s stars have been offering their thoughts on whether they will be returning for the film, with Cillian Murphy saying earlier this year<\/a>: \u201cI would love to do a movie if there\u2019s more story to tell. I\u2019ll wait and see, but I have no update for you on that.\u201d<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n Meanwhile, Ada Shelby star Sophie Rundle previously said<\/a> that she hadn\u2019t heard anything about the film, but that \u201cthe appetite\u201d for it will be \u201cgenerated by the fans\u201d.<\/p>\n Daryl McCormack, who played Isaiah, also said he hadn\u2019t heard anything yet, but added that he was \u201cso grateful to be able to be involved in such an iconic show before it finished\u201d.<\/p> He continued: \u201cAnd to come back for a second season, as well, really made me feel like I could really own my part within it.\u201d<\/p>\n The film is expected to be set during World War II<\/a>, and Knight has said<\/a> that it will be \u201cthe same but different\u201d to the series, telling viewers to \u201cexpect the unexpected\u201d.<\/p>\n The Christmas double issue of Radio Times magazine is on sale now. <\/strong><\/p>\n Peaky Blinders seasons 1-6 are available to watch on BBC iPlayer<\/a>. <\/strong>Looking for something else to watch?
