Peaky Blinders Season 7 Is Not Happening
Peaky Blinders’ sixth season was the series’ final season. And there will be no more seasons of the show. The goodbye to the Shelby family has been challenging for both the audience and the characters. The main reason for the discontinuation is said to be the pandemic.
The Peaky Blinders team has stated that the series was always intended to be at least 7 seasons long. Steven Knight said, “The original intention was to do seven series, but COVID has stolen a year from us, and we felt what would be a great idea is to, almost in place of that seventh series, is to go onto the big screen.”
He revealed, “The reason is boringly practical which is that we lost a year due to the pandemic. The way these things are scheduled – it’s like turning an oil tanker around. We just felt, also with the loss of Helen [McCrory], that it all seemed to be pointing towards doing what I’m calling ‘the end of the beginning’. Let’s end the beginning, then let’s do the film. And then let’s see where we go in terms of spin-offs.”
There’s Going To Be A ‘Peaky Blinders’ Movie
Though there will be no more seasons of Peaky Blinders, there will undoubtedly be a movie version. It’s also exciting because spectators will get to see more of the characters. Knight did mention to another outlet, “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.”
He also said, “COVID changed our plans. But I can say that my plan from the beginning was to end Peaky with a movie. That is what is going to happen.” Knight revealed, “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.”
The production date is still unclear, but Knight revealed that the movie will mostly be released in cinemas in 2024. Later, it was revealed that production will begin in 2023. He said, “The film is definitely happening. I’m writing the script at the moment. I am in the process of writing. As soon as that’s finished, we will go into production.”
