A first look image for the highly anticipated "Peaky Blinders" film is here.

In the new image, Cillian Murphy is looking a little grayer but every bit as his character, Tommy Shelby.

Netflix shared the image on Monday along with an image of "Peaky Blinders" creator and writer Stephen Knight on the set of the highly anticipated film, which is a follow-up to the beloved gangster series.

Netflix teases the film will be the "epic continuation of the multi-award-winning, six-season gangster saga."

Knight previously called it "an explosive chapter in the Peaky Blinders story," adding, "No holds barred. Full on Peaky Blinders at war."
