«Peaky Blinders» showrunner Steven Knight first announced he was making a movie around the BBC drama in January 2021. Here’s what we know.
By order of the Peaky Blinders, Season 6 is not the end, no, because the Birmingham gangsters will return for one last hurrah on the big screen. Showrunner Steven Knight first announced he had plans to make a film to round off the story of the Shelby family in January 2021, when he announced the show would end with its sixth season but would «continue in another form.» The other form, Knight clarified later, would be a movie, which he has spoken about ahead of the Season 6 finale airing on BBC in the U.K. on Sunday, April 3. Here is everything we know so far about the film. A specific plot has not been revealed for the Peaky Blinders movie yet, and no doubt this is because whatever happens in the show’s Season 6 finale will impact what takes place in the film. Knight has spoken to multiple publications about the film and has shared that it will be based in and around the Second World War, which makes sense given Tommy Shelby’s (Cillian Murphy) association with Oswald Mosely (Sam Claflin) and the show’s focus on the rise of Nazi power in the period. In an interview with Radio Times ‘ website, Knight teased: «I know what’s going to happen in those stories and it’s about a sort of untold story that happened in the Second World War, which Peakys are going to be involved in.
