Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight to pen new James Bond film
Steven Knight, the creator of the gritty TV crime series Peaky Blinders, will write the highly anticipated next James Bond movie, studio Amazon MGM has announced. Knight will work alongside previously announced director Denis Villeneuve (Dune, Dune: Part Two) to bring the world's most famous fictional spy back to the big screen after a prolonged absence. Amazon MGM Studios sets Denis Villeneuve as director of next James Bond film. Tanya Lapointe will serve as executive producer. As previously announced, Amy Pascal and David Heyman will serve as producers. — James Bond (@007) June 26, 2025 Amazon MGM Studios acquired creative control of the 007 movies in February and has moved quickly to get one of Hollywood's most valuable franchises back into production. There has been no new Bond film since 2021's No Time to Die. Knight is best known as the mind behind the violent British gangster series Peaky Blinders, which was set in industrial England at the turn of the 20th Century and became a global hit. Running for six seasons on the BBC, and with a Netflix film version currently in the works, Peaky Blinders turbo-charged the careers of leading man Cillian Murphy, alongside a stellar supporting cast including Tom Hardy, Anya Taylor-Joy, and Kingsley Ben-Adir. In addition to Peaky Blinders, Knight also co-created the wildly popular television quiz show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire and has penned four novels. The Birmingham-based screenwriter, producer, and director's other TV credits include Taboo, See, This Town, and All the Light We Cannot See. His film credits include Dirty Pretty Things (writer), Eastern Promises (writer), Locke (writer-director), and Maria (writer). The Bond films, based on Ian Fleming's novels, have earned more than $7 billion collectively at the global box office since debuting in 1962. No release date or title has yet been set for the film franchise's 26th instalment. Despite frenzied speculation among fans, there has been no announcement on which actor will replace Daniel Craig as the suave British super-spy. Among the actors most discussed to be the next Bond are Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Tom Holland, Harris Dickinson, Jacob Elordi, and Ben-Adir - but Amazon MGM has so far refused to disclose the franchise's most closely guarded secret.

Peaky Blinders scribe tapped to pen next James Bond movie
After much speculation, it has been confirmed that Peaky Blinders creator, Steven Knight, has been tapped to write the script for the next James Bond film. The film will mark the first in the franchise under the new Amazon MGM regime, following the departure of longtime producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G Wilson. Knight joins Denis Villeneuve as part of the creative team, with the Dune maestro being announced as the film's director earlier this summer, but there's still no word as to who will be cast as the new 007. Steven Knight during an An Evening with Steven Knight and Cillian Murphy from Peaky Blinders at Esquire Townhouse with Dior at Carlton House Terrace in 2017 Pic: NickyProducers Amy Pascal and David Heyman (of Pascal Pictures and Heyday films) have always said they'd wait until the director is secured and a screenplay written before casting the role of James Bond, so we could be waiting a while longer until we know who is getting a licence to kill. That doesn't mean that fans haven't been speculating over who is in the running for the role, with Aaron Taylor Johnson still the favourite, but Fantastic Beasts star Callum Turner has seen a surge in the bookies as of late. The fiancé of Dua Lipa has jumped from 10th to joint 2nd in the bookies' lists, with his British popstar love also being rumoured to be penning the theme song. Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight attends the opening night of Rambert's new dance-theatre show Peaky Blinders: The Redemption of Thomas Shelby Pic:for Rambert As for Knight, he's best known for creating the massive hit Peaky Blinders, which is being adapted for a big screen follow-up starring Cillian Murphy in his iconic role of Thomas Shelby. With his now connection to the James Bond franchise, Irish fans might wonder if he'll be inclined to keep the Irish Oscar winner in mind for a role in the film… The Corkonian was tipped for the role of 007 himself over the years, but could he be more likely to play a new villain or the new M if Ralph Fiennes doesn't plan on returning? The cast of House of Guinness with writer and creator Steven Knight Pic: Netflix Aside from the Birmingham-based series, the 65-year-old is also known for his work on the Disney+ series A Thousand Blows, BBC's This Town, the Netflix mini-series All The Light We Cannot See. He's teaming up with Netflix again for the historical drama series House of Guinness, which follows the family of the famous brewery and stout brand.
