Jamie Bell was spotted on set in Birmingham Peaky Blinders Saturday, marking his first appearance since it was revealed he would play Tommy Shelby’s son Duke.
The new story takes place ten years later Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man and moves to the 1950s, a time of post-war change and growing tensions between gangs.
The 40-year-old actor looked like a 1950s gangster, dressed in a smart three-piece suit, long navy coat and fedora, as he arrived in a classic Jaguar at a building called ‘Shelby Construction’.
Around him, the set was filled with actors in period costumes, including police officers, giving a real period feeling.
Jamie will lead the series alongside Charlie Heaton, Jessica Brown Findlay, Lashana Lynch and Lucy Karczewski.
Series creator Steven Knight described the new episodes as the story of a town rebuilding after the war, with Duke Shelby older, smarter and more passionate than ever.
He said: “The new generation of Shelbys have taken the wheel and it’s going to be one hell of an adventure. »
Enemy the Ignorant, Jamie first rose to fame at age 14 in Billy Elliot and went on to star in films like King Kong and Rocketman.
Fans are excited to see how he enters the Shelby family story and opens a new chapter in Peaky Blinders.
