Ryan Britt covers all things entertainment for Men's Journal. He's written three critically acclaimed books on pop culture, which include essays about Star Wars, the making of Star Trek, and the history of Dune. He owns more James Bond novels and Sherlock Holmes books than is reasonable.

And, following what’s probably been the most hard-fought battle in documentary filmmaking of the last ten years, it’s Steven Knight, the BAFTA and Oscar-nominated writer, producer and director of Peaky Blinders, that’s just landed the boss-man behind-the-camera gig.

The original series ran on Netflix for six seasons from 2013 to 2022 and, after years of speculation, a “Peaky Blinders” film was officially announced in June 2024. Cillian Murphy will return as star and producer and Tom Harper is set to direct.
