The original series followed the Shelby family, a gang rising to prominence in post-First World War Birmingham.

Oscar-winner Cillian Murphy is reprising his role of Tommy Shelby for the upcoming film from creator Steven Knight.

It will follow on from the much loved BBC show which ran for six series from 2013 to 2022.

Murphy won legions of fans for his performance as a member of the notorious Shelby family, before he swept awards season earlier this year for his starring role in Oppenheimer.
