Peaky Blinders movie: Stephen Graham joins star-studded cast of highly-awaited Netflix film
Stephen Graham has joined the cast of the new Peaky Blinders film, alongside several other notable actors.
The Kirkby-born actor played the role of Hayden Stagg in the sixth season of the original series and will return for the next chapter alongside Sophie Rundle, Ned Dennehy, Packy Lee, and Ian Peck. Speaking to Deadline, Graham confirmed his involvement and said he is “looking forward to seeing the lads again.”
Much of the original BBC TV series, which is set in post-WWI Britain, was filmed at locations across Merseyside, including St George’s Hall and Liverpool Cathedral, and film production crews have already been spotted in Aintree and Liverpool city centre.
The new film is being produced for hit streaming service Netflix, made in association with BBC Film. Netflix previously confirmed that Rebecca Ferguson, Barry Keoghan and Tim Roth will star alongside lead-actor Cillian Murphy, who plays notorious gangster, Thomas Shelby,
Being produced as a continuation of the multi-award-winning, six-season series, the movie will be set in Birmingham, with creator Steven Knight commenting: “It will be an explosive chapter in the Peaky Blinders story. No holds barred. Full-on Peaky Blinders at war.”
Other than the detail that the film will be set during World War II, the plot remains highly secretive but Knight told fans to expect something “extraordinary”. A release date has not yet been revealed.
