On Tuesday, just one day after the final season of Peaky Blinders was announced, Knight confirmed that there would be a feature film following Season 6. Initially, there were supposed to be seven seasons before the movie, but those plans were altered due to Covid-related production delays.
“Covid changed our plans,” Knight told Deadline. “But I can say that my plan from the beginning was to end Peaky with a movie. That is what is going to happen.”
“This final season of our beloved Peaky Blinders is going to be the best one yet,” added executive producer Caryn Mandabach. “Steve’s uncanny ability to be prescient about world events is only matched by his ability to make Tommy Shelby the most indelible character of our times.”
“Along with our wonderful, supportive, partners at BBC and Netflix, we have been working diligently to ensure we can get Peaky safely back into production; the safety of our cast and crew is always our priority,” Mandabach said when the final season was announced. “Thank you to all the Peaky fans who have been so unwaveringly supportive and patient. Steve’s scripts are incredible and mark the end of an epic story that has entranced audiences since it first started in 2013, but the world of Peaky Blinders will most definitely live on.”
Season 6 of Peaky Blinders will pick up where Season 5 concluded, dealing with the effects of fascism as the world heads toward World War II.
