By Two projects from prolific UK writer/creator Steven Knight have set key new cast members.
First up, “Mission: Impossible” and “Silo” star Rebecca Ferguson is set to join Cillian Murphy in the “Peaky Blinders” film at Netflix and BBC Film. Details of Ferguson’s character are under wraps.
Murphy is reprising his role as the Birmingham gangster family’s leader, Thomas ‘Tommy’ Shelby, with production on the upcoming movie anticipated to commence this year.
Knight created that series and penned the film which Tom Harper is directing.
Knight is also currently in production on the new series “House of Guinness” for Netflix which just announced its cast.
Set in 19th-century Dublin and New York, the story chronicles the family behind the eponymous business dynasty in the aftermath of brewery magnate Sir Benjamin Guinness’s death, and the impact of his passing on his four children.
The eight-part series will star Louis Partridge (“Enola Holmes”), Anthony Boyle (“Masters of the Air”), Emily Fairn (“Mary & George”), Fionn O’Shea (“Dating Amber”), James Norton (“War & Peace”), Niamh McCormack (“Everything Now”), Seamus O’Hara (“Blue Lights”), Jack Gleeson (“Game of Thrones”), Dervla Kirwan (“Smother”), Michael McElhatton (“The Autopsy of Jane Doe”), Danielle Galligan (“Shadow and Bone”), David Wilmot (“Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald”), and Hilda Fay (“The Woman in the Wall”).
Knight is serving as the show’s writer and executive producer.
