"I'm not," she told Radio Times when asked if she'll be reprising her role as Linda. "There were discussions and then it didn't pan out."
The Miss Scarlet actor continued: "It was such an amazing show to be part of and Steven Knight still continues to have ideas for the life and the future of Peaky Blinders, and that's always lovely to kind of engage with his hopes and dreams for the show.

"The life of an actor is, you’re sort of always at the behest of other people's visions, and sometimes it's very much a wait and see kind of game. But I'm excited to see the film. I have read it, and I'm excited to see how it turns out on the big screen. I'm sure it will be amazing."
