Filming is currently underway for season six of Peaky Blinders, but there’s bad news for fans of the show, as it has been announced that this season will be the final one.
However, it’s not all bad news, as although we won’t be seeing the show on our screens as normal once season six has ended, creator and writer Steven Knight has said that he is certain the show will continue in some capacity, possibly adapting to the big screen.
In a statement, he wrote: “Peaky’ is back and with a bang. 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”
The show, which stars Irish man Cillian Murphy has gained millions of viewers worldwide since it began in 2013. Set in working-class Birmingham, it follows the story of Tommy Shelby and his family’s rise to power after WW1.
Filming for the sixth and final season of the show was delayed due to the Pandemic, but is currently underway, with it being expected to be on our screens later this year or in early 2022, depending on production turnover.
