Calendar 10/15/2025

The new “Peaky Blinders” series is coming! Steven Knight teases a continuation that could be even better than the original. Here’s what we know so far!

The universe of “Peaky Blinders” is not planning to disappear from the scene. Although the main story of Thomas Shelby has come to an end, Steven Knight – the creator of the legendary series – has just confirmed that the new project not only continues the saga of the Birmingham family but is meant to be “potentially better than the original”.

In an interview with the Broadcast service, Knight revealed that the new production will take place in the 1950s and will show the next generation of the Shelbys as the city tries to rebuild after the destruction of World War II. – I usually do things based on whether I feel like it. Now I feel that the time has come to return to my roots, where it all began – in Birmingham – Knight said, referring to the fact that the series will be produced at the renovated Digbeth Loc Studios.

The action will take place in 1953, in a world dominated by concrete, steel, and a brutal race for power over the reconstruction of the city. The official description promises a rivalry of almost mythical proportions, full of betrayal, ambition, and blood – exactly what fans of "Peaky Blinders" love the most. However, it is unknown whether Cillian Murphy will return as Thomas Shelby. It is known, however, that the new series will be a continuation of the announced Peaky Blinders movie, which is set to premiere on Netflix in 2026.

In the film, we will see, among others, Stephen Graham (Hayden Stagg), Sophie Rundle (Ada Shelby), and Packy Lee (Johnny Dogs). This project will showcase the fate of the family during World War II – and the new series is set to take over right after it.

If you plan to refresh all of "Peaky Blinders" before the premiere of the new series, there is no better choice than Samsung S95D. It is undoubtedly one of the best home theater televisions of the 2024 vintage – and currently available at great prices during the sale.

This model won the prestigious HDTV Shootout in the Best Home Theater TV category, beating the competition with its phenomenal 4K picture quality. This is thanks to the third generation QD-OLED panel, which combines perfect black with high brightness and full color coverage, ideal for films styled like "Peaky Blinders." A refresh rate of 144 Hz is also beneficial in dynamic scenes and games.

The picture is incredibly detailed, contrasty, and immersive – especially after professional calibration. The only downside might be the lack of Dolby Vision, but Samsung focuses on HDR10+, which is increasingly appearing on platforms like Netflix and Disney+. If you care about a cinematic experience in your home living room – this is the television that brings Birmingham straight into your room.

The series "Peaky Blinders" is still available on Netflix, and its spirit – as can be seen – is just starting to gain momentum. If the new season truly lives up to Knight's promises, we are in for a return to the world of gangs, whiskey, and stylish hats that all fans of Thomas Shelby have dreamed of.
