The bad news for fans of Peaky Blinders, which streams Stateside on Netflix: the upcoming sixth season of the series will be the last. The good news: his story will somehow continue “in a different form.”
After the British crime drama debuted on BBC Two in September 2013 and then arrived via Statesville a year later, the British crime drama follows a notorious gang in Birmingham, England, in 1919, led by the fierce Tommy Shelby (Cillian Murphy), a crime boss who is starting to move around the world, regardless of the cost.
Representing the program’s return to a pandemic – related delay, Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight said in a statement on Monday: ‘Peak-like is back and with a bang. After the forced production delay due to the COVID pandemic, we find the family extremely threatened and the interests have never been higher. We believe this will be the best series of all and are sure that our wonderful fans will like it.
“While the TV series will come to an end, the story will continue in a different form,” he added.
Knight said earlier – back in May 2018, months after the final season 4 aired – ‘My ambition is to make it a story of a family between two wars, and I always wanted to end it with the first siren in the airstrike in Birmingham in 1939. It will take three more [seasons to get there]. ”
But rather than ending after seven seasons, it will now end with season 6, which could possibly bend as late in 2022.
