With ‘Peaky Blinders’ making the leap from highly successful BBC series to big screen outing thanks to added popularity from its showing on Netflix (which is also backing the film), the cast around star Cillian Murphy is really starting to come together.

We learned back in July that Rebecca Ferguson was the first high-profile performer to join Murphy in the cinematic version, and now we can add Barry Keoghan to the list.

What’s the story of ‘Peaky Blinders’?

The series, which began life on Britain’s BBC Two in 2013, is a crime drama centered on a family of mixed Irish Traveler and Romani origins based in Birmingham, England, starting in 1919, several months after the end of World War I.

It’s named after the Peaky Blinders street gang and their ambitious, cunning crime boss Shelby (Murphy). The show has since run for six seasons.

Netflix, spotting an opportunity to pick up a well-loved series, snagged the rights in 2014 and it has since gone on to win multiple awards.

In case you’re wondering, the “peaky blinders” referred to the gang’s sartorial efforts. distinctive fashion sense, including colorful clothing and peaked newsboy caps. At the time, “peaky” was a common term for flat caps with a peak, and “blinder” was a Birmingham slang term for someone who looked dapper. In less legal terms, they were also infamous for pulling the brims of their caps down when they attacked someone so as not to be recognized.

When we last saw Tommy Shelby, he had killed off his cousin Michael (Finn Cole) and rode off into the sunset on a white steed after handing the reins of the family business to sister Ada (Sophie Rundle).

Nothing has been officially released about the movie’s plot yet, though Knight has previously suggested that it’ll chronicle the gang’s efforts during World War II.

Aside from Ferguson, who would be a new character, there is no official confirmation for anyone besides Murphy.

But there has been plenty of speculation that the likes of Rundle, Paul Anderson, Finn Cole, Natasha O’Keefe, and Harry Kirton, who play members of the Shelby family, could all show up.

Keoghan’s character, like Ferguson’s is, reports Deadline, a mystery. But who wouldn’t want to see him go toe to toe with Murphy as another criminal type?

He’s more recently come to even more attention thanks to his Oscar-nominated role in ‘The Banshees of Inisherin’ and his gonzo turn in ‘Saltburn.’

On big screens and small, he’s made his mark in the likes of ‘Eternals,’ ‘Top Boy,’ ‘Masters of the Air,’ and even a small cameo in ‘The Batman.’
