Peaky Blinders Season 6 Will ‘Move Into & Beyond The Second World War.’

Peaky Blinders Season 6 was announced in January 2021, but many were disappointed because it was also confirmed that the sixth season will be the series’ final season. Then the fantastic news arrived! Peaky Blinders will be adapted into a film after the series concludes, according to the latest news.

Following the year-long production pause, Knight subsequently explained that they had decided to make a movie instead of a seventh television series, with further television programs based on the Shelby family potentially following.

Furthermore, Steven recently disclosed that his initial idea for the series’ final season has evolved. He reveals that Season 6 of Peaky Blinders will have a more compelling plot than fans expect.

Peaky Blinders Season 6: Update

Steven previously stated that the final season of Peaky Blinders will not cover the Second World War. He revealed that Season 6 of Peaky Blinders will take place a decade after Season 5, as Season 5 began in 1929 and World War II began in 1939. The writer, however, confessed in a recent interview that he had altered his mind.

“It was always Britain between wars,” he observed, “how the principles of one war were not learned and were repeated.” It’s also the end of empire: we begin World War II, and by the end of it, there’s no such thing as an empire.

“However, I’ve changed the scope of what it is. It will now continue through and beyond World War II. Because I believe there is enough energy in the planet for this.”

Meanwhile, ahead of the premiere of Season 6, star Cillian Murphy hinted at the tone of the final episodes, telling Rolling Stone UK: “I think it’s going to be quite intense.” We keep using the term ‘gothic.’ Yes, it’ll be a challenge!”

This could be a hint for fans eagerly anticipating the reveal of who betrayed Thomas Shelby (Cillian Murphy) alias Tommy in the previous season. He plotted to assassinate Oswald Mosley the previous season, with the help of the rest of the Shelby family and others close to the Shelbys. Unfortunately, two of his allies died before they could carry out the plan.

Peaky Blinders Season 6 is set to premiere on BBC One and BBC iplayer in February 2022.
