Sophie Rundle Who Played Cillian Murphy’s Sister in Series to Reprise Her Role in Peaky Blinders Netflix Spin-Off Movie; Jay Lycurgo Also Joins Cast

Netflix’s Peaky Blinders spin-off movie is bringing back some of the iconic characters from the series. Apart from Cillian Murphy reprising his role as Birmingham gang leader Tommy Shelby, Sophie Rundle, who played Murphy’s onscreen sister Ada Shelby, is set to return as well. In the series finale, Tommy hands over the reins of the Shelby empire to Ada.

Her return to the crime world of Birmingham implies that Ada will play a key role in taking the family business forward. In an interview with Radio Times, show creator Steven Knight revealed that the plot of the movie will be “an untold story that happened in the Second World War, which the Peakys are going to be involved in.”

While the series finale touched on Tommy’s guilt and redemption arc, the film will likely end the franchise with Tommy finally redeemed for his sins. Other returning actors who have signed up for the spin-off movie include Ned Dennehy, who played Charlie Strong in the series, Packy Lee (Johnny Dogs), and Ian Peck (Curly).

A newcomer to the franchise is Jay Lycurgo, who wrapped shooting on the Oscar-winning actor-led feature over the summer, though details of his character remain undisclosed. New actors joining the franchise, as confirmed by Deadline, include Rebecca Ferguson, Barry Keoghan, Tim Roth, and Stephen Graham.

“It seems like Tommy Shelby wasn’t finished with me…” the Oppenheimer actor announced in a statement.  “It is very gratifying to be re-collaborating with Steven Knight and Tom Harper on the film version of ‘Peaky Blinders.’ This is one for the fans,” he added. 

In an interview with Esquire, Knight teased the film will introduce a new generation into the Peaky Blinders world who will play a huge role in the storyline. “I think it’s finding those actors that you just watch, and you think, there you go. There’s the future,” he added. 

Knight who was part of the six seasons long hit BBC drama that concluded in April 2022, will be writing the script and co-producing the film alongside Murphy, Patrick Holland, and Guy Heeley. The movie made in association with BBC Film is expected to release in late 2025 or 2026 on Netflix.

What Is Beyonce’s Connection With J Cole’s Song She Knows? Viral Conspiracy Theory Explored Amid Diddy’s Arrest

What Is Beyonce’s Connection With J Cole’s Song She Knows? Viral Conspiracy Theory Explored Amid Diddy’s Arrest

With the arrest of Sean “Diddy” Combs, people are not hesitating to bring up new conspiracy theories almost every day. The latest of these theories even involves Beyoncé, as rumors claim that she was somehow connected to the deaths of Lisa Lopes, Aaliyah, and Michael Jackson.

These rumors seem to stem from J. Cole’s track called She Knows. This conspiracy theory, which is gaining traction on TikTok, suggests that the No Role Modelz artist gave a subtle nod to Beyoncé’s last name, “Knowles,” in his song She Knows.

Fans have drawn their theories from the lyrics:
“Only bad thing ’bout a star is they burn up / Rest in peace to Aaliyah / Rest in peace to Left Eye / Michael Jackson, I’ll see ya / Just as soon as I die.”

The theory has gained attention since Sean Diddy Combs‘ arrest, suggesting that Beyoncé may have known something about an orchestrated plot by the It’s All About the Benjamins rapper regarding the deaths of the aforementioned artists.

However, Beyoncé is not the only one being implicated. The conspiracy also points fingers at Jay-Z, alongside P. Diddy, as possible players in the deaths of Michael Jackson, Lisa Lopes, and Aaliyah.

The theory only becomes stranger the deeper you delve into it. Another aspect of the theory focuses on a striking coincidence between the deaths of these widely loved and globally acclaimed artists.

People on the internet have pointed out that all three of the celebrities mentioned died on the 25th of the month.

For those unaware, Aaliyah passed away in a plane crash on August 25, 2001. Similarly, Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes died in a car accident on April 25, 2002. Meanwhile, the legendary Michael Jackson died of cardiac arrest on June 25, 2009. The They Don’t Care About Us singer reportedly succumbed to cardiac arrest following a fatal combination of multiple drugs.

While the TikTok theory suggests that Sean “Diddy” Combs, Jay-Z, and Beyoncé were somehow involved in the deaths of these artists, another, more recent theory claims that the Single Ladies singer was granted godlike powers. According to this theory, this is why celebrities often thank Beyoncé during awards shows.

The theory also suggests that Beyoncé attained this elevated status following the passing of Aaliyah, the “Queen of Urban Pop.”

Sean “Diddy” Combs was arrested on September 16, 2024, in a New York City hotel lobby.

According to reports, prosecutors involved in the case have accused the Bump, Bump, Bump artist and now-disgraced rapper of coercing women into participating in sexual acts with male commercial sex workers.
