Jay Lycurgo, best known for his roles in Teen Titans and The Batman, has also been tapped for a role in the Peaky Blinders movie.

Rebecca Ferguson, fresh off her role in Dune: Part Two and set to headline Season 2 of Silo next, will also star alongside Murphy in the series, with another Batman veteran and Eternals actor, Barry Keoghan, also joining the ensemble. Tim Roth, best known for his role in Pulp Fiction and also for playing Abomination in The Incredible Hulk and later in She-Hulk, has also been tapped for a role in the Peaky Blinders movie.

Steven Knight will write the script and Tom Harper will direct.
