#Peaky Blinders’ Story Will Continue Into World War II And Beyond

Steven Knight goes on to lay out his writing process in figuring out exactly how to bring “Peaky Blinders” in for a landing. Thrillingly, it has already been announced that the story will not be ending with this final season. A feature film is in the works, scheduled to start production in 2023. That means fans can sit back and enjoy the journey that the upcoming sixth season takes us on, without worry that we’ll never get to see these characters again. (Well, some of them are likely fated to die tragic and painful deaths. That’s just the name of the game. But besides that, I mean!) Knight refers to season 6 (or series 6, as the proper folks across the pond call it) as “the end of the beginning.”

As you may have gathered by now, Knight isn’t a fan of pre-planning every step of the series ahead of time, preferring instead to let the story take him along its winding path. According to Knight, “I don’t know what’s gonna happen until I get to writing. The way I tend to work is not to plan, and I think if I did plan, I wouldn’t be able to do it. Just sit at the keyboard and if you know the characters well enough, let ’em loose and see what they say to each other. Let the dialogue guide the plot.”

Sort of sounds a little bit like Tommy Shelby, known for playing fast and loose with all his grand ambitions and pulling off several last-minute escapes, eh? The final ending of “Peaky Blinders” might be a long ways off, but season 6 is set to premiere in early 2022.
