EXCLUSIVE: Dune and Mission: Impossible star Rebecca Ferguson has joined the cast of Netflix’s upcoming Peaky Blinders movie. Ferguson is the first high-profile name set opposite the previously announced Cillian Murphy. Details about Ferguson’s role are being kept under wraps.
As Deadline reported exclusively last month, Netflix has greenlighted a Peaky feature that will see Oscar winner Murphy in a return to the iconic role of Tommy Shelby, leader of the eponymous Birmingham gangster family.
Tom Harper is directing from a script by Peaky creator Steven Knight. Producers are Caryn Mandabach, Knight, Murphy and Guy Heeley. Exec producers include Harper, David Kosse, Jamie Glazebrook, Andrew Warren and David Mason. The feature will be made in association with BBC Film.
