Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight has hinted at upcoming revelations about the future of his hit series on the 10th anniversary of its original debut. Featuring an ensemble cast led by Cillian Murphy as the ambitious Tommy Shelby, the show officially came to an end with the season 6 finale in 2022. However, an upcoming Peaky Blinders movie is set to wrap the main story and is anticipated to begin production sometime later this year.
On the 10-year anniversary of Peaky Blinders airing season 1, episode 1 on BBC Two, the show’s official Twitter account shared a statement from Knight teasing more details to come.
Saying that the show’s “story is not over yet,” Knight tells viewers to “watch this space.” This comes months after Knight teased Peaky Blinders‘ future beyond plans for the upcoming movie.
What We Know About The Future Of Peaky Blinders
Originally intended to tell the story of the Shelby family between the events of World War I and World War II, Knight has previously revealed that the upcoming Peaky Blinders movie will extend his original plans and take place during World War II itself. While this historical backdrop may lend itself to all kinds of stories, it is likely the film will depict Tommy enacting his revenge on his fascist rival, Oswald Mosley. In real life, the actual Mosley was imprisoned in 1940 and his British Union of Fascists were disbanded, and it is possible that Tommy Shelby could play an integral part in bringing these events to fruition.
Yet once Tommy get his revenge, it may not be the end for the critically acclaimed historical drama. In July this year, Knight also teased that there are plans beyond the upcoming movie, igniting hopes for multiple spinoffs. Though it is not clear what form these potential Peaky Blinders spinoffs may take, many viewers are theorizing they may follow Sophie Rundle’s Ada Shelby or even Tommy’s estranged son Duke (played by Conrad Khan).
Either way, Knight’s most recent statement bodes well for the show’s already passionate fanbase, who are keen to see more stories set within the world of Peaky Blinders. With any luck, there may soon be an indication of when the Peaky Blinders movie will officially arrive, as well as a taste for the other properties to follow after it.
