A New York-based, Peaky Blinders type show is being developed by the creator of Narcos

Chris Brancato announced a new MGM+ series about 'fearsome Irish gangs' in New York

Everybody wants their Peaky Blinders moment, huh? In the wake of that show’s star, Cillian Murphy, winning Best Actor at the 2024 Academy Awards, the BBC/Netflix series seems to have some momentum. Creator Steven Knight said a Peaky movie will begin filming with Murphy later this year. And now another showrunner, Chris Brancato, is developing his own Peaky-esque series, except this time the Irish gangsters will be New York-based rather than Birmingham.

According to the Irish Star, Brancato did say, “I look for themes such as hedonism that was part of the American and worldwide culture at that time,” he told the audience during his appearance. “Did it amount to anything? To examine this, you want to make a period piece to comment about and I think this offers commentary about today as well.” Interestingly, if there is one person’s toes Brancato might actually be stepping on, it’s Martin Scorsese’s.
