‘Peaky Blinders’ Film Will Shoot in 2023, Says Creator Steven Knight
As per the show’s director Steven Knight, Peaky Blinders season six is intended to end the show, and the shelved seventh season will be replaced for the feature. Back in 2016, the show’s writer and creator discussed bringing the Shelby family to the giant screen with movies, but that was meant to happen following season seven. “We’ve talked to Cillian Murphy, and he’s all for it, and the rest of the primary cast is okay for it,” he added.
Of course, this was all before the deadly Coronavirus, which has wreaked havoc on numerous productions and led to the cancellation of Season 7.
Peaky Blinders’ tale would be continued, according to Steven Knight “When season six was revealed, he said, “in another form,” before telling Deadline, “Covid modified our plans.” But I can tell that it was always my intention to end Peaky Blinders with a film. That is exactly what will happen.” To BBC News, he added: “Part of the rationale isn’t that we’re going to change the way we do things. Let’s hope that by the time this film is out, these things will be achievable and that the people who created the show, as well as the Peaky fans who have been so dedicated and loyal, will be able to watch it together. Hopefully, it will be a sort of community gathering where folks can sit and watch it and enjoy it.”
The Peaky Blinders film has yet to be given a title. But when is it going to be set? What kind of release date do you think it’ll have? And, gulp, would Tommy Shelby, played by Cillian Murphy, be alive to return?
So, we’ve compiled all of the available material, as well as what the key characters have to say about the Peaky Blinders film. The Peaky Blinders movie, according to Steven Knight, will be a “fitting finale to the story,” yet he has suggested that it will generate spin-off TV shows based on some of the characters, as well as possible sequel films.
