Charlie Heaton is swapping the 1980s for the 1950s in the first image of him on the set of the untitled sequel to “Peaky Blinders.”

Heaton, best known for his role as Jonathan Byers in Netflix monster hit “Stranger Things,” is set to play Charles Shelby in the series, which also stars Jamie Bell as his half-brother Duke Shelby.

The six-episode series will focus on the next generation of Shelbys after patriarch Tommy, played by Cillian Murphy, bowed out in the recently-released movie spin-off, “The Immortal Man.” Duke was played by Barry Keoghan in the film.
