Peaky Blinders may have come to an end following the release of season 6 episode 6 but it is definitely not the end for the Shelby family. While there will not be another series of the popular Birmingham-based drama, Peaky Blinders is moving to the big screen.
The series, which first kicked off in 2013, aired its final episode on Sunday, April 3 on BBC One. It saw Tommy Shelby survive after finding out his doctor had deceived him and he wasn't suffering from tuberculoma, as well as avoiding a trap laid out by his revenge-seeking nephew Michael Gray.

The ending was dubbed emotional and satisfying by viewers, but many are wondering what will happen next. It comes after creator Steven Knight confirmed in January 2021 there would be a film to conclude the epic story.

When asked if season 6 was the end of Peaky, Cillian Murphy, who plays Tommy Shelby, said: "I think Steve has always had an endgame in mind. Covid screwed that up a bit. But now he's got lots of plans to make a film. So I don't think this is the end of the story. I think it's probably just the end of the story in this form. But Steve is always bringing up ideas. And they're always good. So I'll just wait and see what he has to say."
