Now, her career is entering an intriguing new chapter, one that sees her stepping into a much-anticipated streaming project that continues to expand a well-known universe.

After the release of Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man, Lashana Lynch has joined the Peaky Blinders universe as the franchise moves into an exciting new phase, as reported by What's On Netflix. Expanding beyond the events of the film, the next chapter is already in motion, with a fresh direction that continues to build on the legacy of the Shelby universe while introducing new characters and storylines.

Her addition marks a significant moment for the series, as it transitions into a new era with a blend of legacy characters and emerging talent.

The post-war Peaky Blinders verse will have a dramatically transformed setting, where survival and ambition will be shaped by a city rising from devastation. According to the official synopsis, the two new six-part, hour-long seasons will follow Birmingham as it emerges from the ashes of the Birmingham Blitz, with the Shelby family navigating a world filled with both opportunity and danger.

Envisioned by creator Steven Knight, the race to rebuild the city becomes a brutal and high-stakes struggle, described as a “brutal contest of mythical dimensions”, placing the Shelbys at the center of power, ambition, and survival.

Production is already in full swing, with filming kicking off in Stoke-on-Trent under the working title Peaky 1954. Early casting has introduced a new generation of talent, including Cal O’Driscoll, Fintan Shevlin, and Jacob Wright, signaling a fresh direction for the evolving story. Led by Kudos, known for projects like This Town and SAS Rogue Heroes, the production team has been carefully recreating the post-war atmosphere.

Filming has taken place at the historic Queen’s Theatre in Burslem and on Jenkins Street, both transformed with period-accurate details, while additional shoots are expected at Digbeth Loc. Studios in Birmingham ground the series in authentic and atmospheric locations.
