The hit BBC drama Peaky Blinders has grown a loyal fan base across the world following six seasons on television and fans were devastated when the gritty gangster drama's sixth and final series aired in April. But there have since been talks of putting the drama on the big screen and the show's creator has now confirmed he's almost finished writing the script.
The award-winning drama ran from 2013 to 2022 and followed a crime gang in Birmingham following the First World War, with the final series finishing just a few years shy of the start of World War II. Speaking on Heart Breakfast on Thursday, July 28, creator Steven Knight teased the future of Peaky Blinders saying the new feature film will star some familiar faces and include new additions to the cast too.
The 62-year-old British screenwriter and director, who also wrote Dirty Pretty Things and Spencer, spoke about the movie after being asked by host Zoe Hardman if a seventh series was on the cards. But Steven was keen to keep some details a surprise, despite radio host Jamie Theakston quizzing him on whether the film will follow on from the sixth series or be a "prequel story".
