First images of Cillian Murphy and Rebecca Ferguson on the set of 'Peaky Blinders'

After more than six seasons, where it seemed that the Shelby cycle had come to an end, Cillian Murphy has once again taken on the role of the Birmingham gangster to bring the story to a close with the final 'Peaky Blinders' film. Filming has already begun and the Irish actor has been seen on set, alongside co-star Rebecca Ferguson.

At the moment, practically everything is unknown about the new film, except for Tommy Shelby's role. As can be seen in the images, the actor's look has not changed one bit. The actress can be seen with black hair and jacket, but it is not known what role she will play at the moment. The same goes for Barry Keoghan, another of the star signings for the film.

For now, it has only been made official that the film will be directed by Tom Harper. The script is written by Steven Knight, the creator of the series. In addition, the production is handled by Netflix with BBC Films. Finally, the production depends on Caryn Mandabach, Knight, Murphy and Guy Heeley. If the film is successful, the green light for two spin-offs is almost assured.

It is worth remembering that in the last season of the series, Tommy Shelby faces the loss of his daughter Ruby and subsequently the aftermath of his wife Grace's death. In an unexpected twist, he is diagnosed with a terminal illness, which ultimately turns out to be a trap by his enemies, as only Tommy Shelby seems to be able to get rid of himself.

In the end, he discovers that the diagnosis of his terminal illness was a hoax by his enemies to manipulate him and make him disappear. Thus, this fact awakens in Tommy a renewed desire to live and the episode closes with him walking away from his past life, leaving behind his family, the Peaky Blinders.
