Charlie Heaton Stars As Charles Shelby In New Image From ‘Peaky Blinders’ Prequel

The first image from the upcoming Peaky Blinders prequel has been released. This new series, written and created by Steven Knight, stars Charlie Heaton as Charles Shelby.

“Having fought a violent war, much of it behind enemy lines, Charles Shelby is now embracing normality. He hasn’t seen his half-brother Duke – played by Jamie Bell – in years. Charles severed all ties to the Peaky Blinders gang, and the hedonistic Shelby lifestyle. But can you ever escape your own blood? In this new era of Peaky Blinders, set a decade after World War Two, the race to rebuild Birmingham becomes a brutal contest of mythical dimensions. This is a city of unprecedented opportunity and jeopardy.”

This new series also stars Jessica Brown Findlay, Lashana Lynch, and Lucy Karczewski. Production is currently underway in Birmingham.
