PEAKY BLINDERS Will Come To an End After Its Sixth Season – GeekTyrant

The popular BBC drama Peaky Blinders is set to come to an end after its sixth and final season, but dont worry, creator and writer Steven Knight promise the story will continue in another form.

Ive enjoyed the hell out of Peaky Blinders, which follows the story of Tommy Shelby (Cillian Murphy) and his notorious familys rise to power against the backdrop of working class, post-WWI Birmingham. Heres the synopsis:

Britain is a mixture of despair and hedonism in 1919 in the aftermath of the Great War. Returning soldiers, newly minted revolutions and criminal gangs are fighting for survival in a nation rocked by economic upheaval. One of the most powerful gangs of the time is the Peaky Blinders, run by returning war hero Thomas Shelby and his family. But Thomas has bigger ambitions than just running the streets. When a crate of guns goes missing, he recognizes an opportunity to advance in the world because crime may pay but legitimate business pays better. Trying to rid Britain of its crime is Inspector Chester Campbell, who arrives from Belfast to try to achieve that goal.

If you havent been watching this series, I definitely recommend it. Knight previously said that the series would live to see a seventh season, but it ended up being cut short due to the year delay in production for Season 6 due to the pandemic.

Knight said in a statement, 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.

Executive producer Caryn Mandabach added, 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. Thank you to all the Peaky fans who have been so unwaveringly supportive and patient. Steves 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.

We arent sure how the story will continue, but the report says its likely that the creative team is considering a movie or spin-off show.

Peaky Blinders Season 6 was written by Knight, while season 5 helmer Anthony Byrne returns to direct and Nick Goding will produce. It will likely air in late 2021 or possibly even early 2022 depending on how quickly production can complete filming.
