Peaky blinders
BBC drama Peaky blinders is due to end after its sixth season, but writer and creator Steven Knight has said the story will return in “another form.”
The show is produced by Banijay-owned Tiger Aspect and Caryn Mandabach Productions, but has faced significant delays since last year’s pandemic.
Its sixth – and now final – season is back in production, but its impending end came as a surprise as Knight previously said he expected the series to span seven seasons, ending as the Second World war breaks out.
The show traces the life of Tommy Shelby and his family as their criminal enterprise unfolds in the British city of Birmingham. It started airing on BBC2 in 2013 before being transferred to BBC1 after the ratings success. It is sold worldwide by Banijay Rights and has gained worldwide fame through Netflix.

Knight said: “Woozy is back and with a bang. After the forced production delay due to the Covid pandemic, we find the family in extreme danger and the stakes have never been higher. We think this will be the best show ever and are sure our amazing fans will love it. “
Knight, who is also the creator of shows including Apple TV + sci-fi See and drama BBC1 Taboo, added that “as the TV series draws to a close, the story will continue in another form,” suggesting that a movie or spin-off may be in the works.
Executive Producer Caryn Mandabach added, “With our wonderful solidarity partners BBC and Netflix, we are working diligently to ensure we can get Woozy safe return to production; the safety of our actors and our team is always our priority.
“Thanks to all Woozy fans who have been so steadfast in their support and patience. The sixth series marks the end of an epic story that has delighted audiences since its debut in 2013, but the world of Peaky blinders will certainly live.
Knight is currently developing a new drama series to be produced with fellow British producer Kudos, owned by Banijay, which will explore the “Two Tone” music scene.
