PEAKY BLINDERS II (2026)

Starring Cillian Murphy • Tom Hardy • Anya Taylor-Joy • Paul Anderson

After the explosive events that tore Tommy Shelby apart, Peaky Blinders II picks up in a world darker and more dangerous than ever. Tommy Shelby (Cillian Murphy) is in exile—haunted by his past, hunted by enemies, and far from the gritty streets of Birmingham. He’s buried deep in the underworld of Boston, where his name still carries weight, but his empire feels like a distant memory. Haunted by the ghosts of his choices, Tommy’s struggle isn’t just against his enemies—it’s against the demons of his own making.

Back in Birmingham, the city has evolved—and so has the Shelby family. Tommy’s daughter, Grace Shelby (Anya Taylor-Joy), now holds the razor. Having grown up in the shadows of her father’s empire, she’s emerged as a ruthless and calculating force in her own right. The Peaky Blinders empire is hers to command, but the city no longer forgives weakness. Every decision she makes echoes Tommy’s ruthless legacy—but with her own, even more dangerous twist.

But there’s more at play than just family rivalry. A radical faction of the IRA seeks to trade Peaky muscle for American firepower, launching a transatlantic war that threatens to tear apart everything Tommy built. Old alliances fracture. New blood demands loyalty. The Shelby name becomes a currency everyone wants to cash in on—and everyone wants to control. No one is safe—not even family.

As the war rages on, Tommy finds himself facing a final, impossible choice. He returns not to claim his throne, but to save the one person he can never truly escape—his daughter. The final act is not about conquest, but about succession. The crown, once Tommy’s to take, must now be passed.

Peaky Blinders II is the story of a family at war—not just with the world, but with themselves. A story where the stakes are personal, and the price of power has never been higher. As Tommy’s world closes in, he’s forced to ask: Can the next generation inherit the razor without falling to the same fate?

Verdict: 10/10
The razor belongs to the next generation.
