Covid put paid to a seventh season, but a film version will give the gripping gangster show a fitting finale
Good news and bad for fans of the Birmingham blockbuster Peaky Blinders, which will end with its forthcoming sixth season.
However, before any tears are shed for the Shelbys, creator Steven Knight revealed that it was too soon to say a firm and final farewell and that the story would “continue in another form”. Later, he told Deadline that this send-off was likely to be a feature-length Peaky Blinders film. “Covid changed our plans. But I can say that my plan from the beginning was to end Peaky with a movie. That is what is going to happen,” he said.
