On Thursday afternoon, it was revealed that the Oscar nominee would be joining Cillian Murphy in the upcoming movie adaptation of the hit BBC drama.

More information about the film’s plot, as well as how Barry and Rebecca’s characters will play into it, are expected nearer the project’s release.

Peaky Blinders debuted on the BBC back in 2013, and ended up running for a total of six seasons.

During its time on air, the show was awarded a handful of TV Baftas, with Cillian also picking up a Best Actor nomination at last year’s ceremony.

A film based on the Steven Knight’s award-winning BBC drama has been rumoured since before the show even ended, with Cillian confirming last month that he’d be back in action as Tommy Shelby in a new feature-length story, which is being co-produced by Netflix.

Creator Steven Knight teased earlier this year that filming on the much-hyped movie would be getting underway in September.

It’s not yet known which other members of the original cast will be returning for the film version.
