Peaky Blinders Cillian Murphy responds to Jason Statham almost landing Tommy Shelby role There may have been some doubts about whether I had the requisite physicality. 28/05/2021
Peaky Blinders star Cillian Murphy has recalled how he persuaded creator Steven Knight to cast him as Tommy Shelby, instead of his first choice at the time: Jason Statham.
While promoting the horror sequel
A Quiet Place Part II– which he stars in opposite Noah Jupe, Millicent Simmonds, Djimon Hounsou and Emily Blunt – the Irish actor was asked by
The Guardian about his audition process for the hugely popular crime drama, and revealed how tenacious he was about bagging himself the role.
The official Peaky Blinders Twitter account has announced that filming on the sixth and final season has wrapped. The post gives thanks to the cast and crew of the series, saying, "You've given this one everything. And it's going to be epic."

Peaky Blinders because of a false positive test result for a member of the crew. In line with protocol, this person took an NHS test and anyone who came into contact with them self-isolated – the safety of our team on
Peaky Blinders is of paramount importance. The NHS test has come back negative and filming will resume as normal tomorrow. Gareth Cattermole/Getty Images
Graham s character hasn t been revealed yet but he ll be in the final season along with Murphy back as Tommy, Anderson as Arthur Shelby, Finn Cole as Michael Gray and Sophie Rundle as Ada Thorne.
Creator and writer Steven Knight said previously: “Peaky is back and with a bang. After the enforced production delay due to the Covid pandemic, we find the family in extreme jeopardy and the stakes have never been higher. We believe this will be the best series of all and are sure that our amazing fans will love it.
