Overview

• The new story is set in 1953 in postwar Birmingham and follows a new generation of Shelbys competing to control a massive urban reconstruction project.
• Steven Knight returns as creator and writer, and Cillian Murphy is attached as an executive producer alongside Kudos and Garrison Drama.
• A bridging feature film is in post‑production and expected around 2026, with Cillian Murphy reprising Tommy Shelby.
• Coverage varies on whether the orders are separate series or two seasons, and a reported First World War prequel remains unconfirmed by the platforms.
