When the show’s latest season got announced, the entire creative team had to acknowledge how COVID-19 had thrown production of Season 6 into a blender. Making this final group of episodes was a true group effort and a testament to their commitment to the project.
“Peaky is back and with a bang,” Knight explained when Season 6 was announced. “After the enforced production delay due to the COVID pandemic, we find the family in extreme jeopardy and the stakes have never been higher. We believe this will be the best series of all and are sure that our amazing fans will love it. While the TV series will be coming to an end, the story will continue in another form.”
In a previous conversation with Variety, the creator also mentioned that there were plans for a Peaky Blinders movie. According to Knight, the movie will consist of story threads that were not pursued for individual spinoff series. However, the love for the series is so prevalent that the fans will be looking forward to that film.
“We are in development,” Knight mentioned when asked about the Peaky Blinders movie. “It’s a fully formed idea and it has a beginning, middle and end. And I think it’s going to be a fitting conclusion to the story told so far, but from it, there will be things I don’t really call spinoffs, but there will be other TV shows that I hope will come out of [it], that will continue to tell the story of this part of society and this family.”
