Peaky Blinders star Stephen Graham confirms return for Netflix movie
Graham is "looking forward to seeing the lads again" for the Peaky Blinders film.
While we've recently gotten an influx of exciting Peaky Blinders casting news for the upcoming film, fans of the Birmingham-based drama have been left to wait patiently to see whether any past familiar faces will be reprising their roles for the much-anticipated movie.
Well, alongside the returning Cillian Murphy as Tommy Shelby, Stephen Graham has now also confirmed that he'll be back for the Netflix film.
Speaking to Deadline at the London Film Festival, Graham revealed that the upcoming Peaky Blinders feature would be his next project, adding that he's "looking forward to seeing the lads again" on Peaky Blinders.
While Graham didn't confirm what role he'll be playing, we can assume that he's on course to reprise his season 6 part as Hayden Stagg.
RadioTimes.com has approached Netflix for comment.
The upcoming Peaky Blinders film won't mark the only time that Graham and series creator Steven Knight will work together in the near future, with the pair collaborating on Disney Plus series A Thousand Blows.
Graham joins an already announced Peaky cast that consists of Pulp Fiction star Tim Roth, Saltburn's Barry Keoghan and Mission: Impossible favourite Rebecca Ferguson, who are all set to appear in as-yet unspecified roles.

It was announced at the end of last month that the film is officially in production, with a first-look picture showing Murphy in his familiar get-up as Tommy Shelby.
On the start of production, Knight said: "I’m thrilled to see the cameras rolling on this new chapter of the Peaky Blinders story, set during World War II. The country is at war, and so, of course, are our Peaky Blinders."

Similarly, director Tom Harper said: "There’s a great feeling of anticipation and excitement amongst our outstanding cast and crew. We’re grateful to the fans for getting us to this point and believe this next chapter is going to deliver something extraordinary."
As of yet, we're none the wiser as to what the film will be about, but Knight had previously told us of his hopes that the film will be set during the Second World War.
Speaking exclusively to RadioTimes.com, Knight said: "I know what's going to happen in those stories and it's about a sort of untold story that happened in the Second World War, which Peakys are going to be involved in."
Peaky Blinders is available to stream on BBC iPlayer. The movie will stream on Netflix – sign up from £4.99 a month. Netflix is also available on Sky Glass and Virgin Media Stream.
