The Shelby saga is getting a film. Not a new season, not a special, a feature film, and Netflix brought Oyungezer to the press junket for Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man to find out why.
The real question sitting at the center of this project is a format one. The series ran for six seasons and told a story with television's tools: episode cliffhangers, slow character accumulation, space to let things breathe over weeks. A film compresses all of that. It makes different promises to an audience and asks different things from the people making it. So we asked Cillian Murphy and Rebecca Ferguson exactly that: what does this format allow that another season could not?
Murphy also had a more personal version of that question to answer. He spent years inside Tommy Shelby, stepped away, and now came back. That gap changes something, even if the character doesn't change on the page. What remains after that kind of distance? What do you have to reconstruct, and what is still just there?
Ferguson comes to this from a different world entirely. Dune is the scale she has been working at, and Peaky Blinders has its own very specific texture. That contrast was worth talking about too.
