James Bond's growing creative team got a new addition, which is linked to Cillian Murphy-starring Peaky Blinders.

Reportedly the new movie will be helmed by a script penned by Steven Knight.

Knight, also known for Jason Momoa's See, has been tapped to write the script for Denis Villeneuve, who is directing the next 007 film for Amazon MGM Studios.

No Time To Die was the last movie to come to life from the work by Neal Purvis and Robert Wade, who worked on the franchise beginning with 1999’s The World Is Not Enough.

In addition to the end of an era for the longtime scribes, actor Daniel Craig said goodbye to the character with the 2021 Bond movie.

However, Knight, 65, is no exception, joining the upcoming project with an impressive resume.

Currently working on a Peaky Blinders film, the British screenwriter’s past work includes the Eastern Promises, Spencer, See and Dirty Pretty Things, which earned him an original screenplay Oscar nomination.

His evergrowing TV credits include All the Light We Cannot See, A Thousand Blows, Rogue Heroes, Taboo, This Town and The Veil.
