Creator, Steven Knight sat down for an interview with Entertainment Weekly and spoke about Peaky Blinders coming to end, he said "I'm calling this the end of the beginning." Knight said that even though the show was coming to an end and will close the chapter of the Shelby family, a large portion of the Peaky Blinders world was still unexplored and they might create some spin-offs based on that.

He explained, "We're going to end the series as it is at the moment, but we're going to do the movie, which we'll shoot in 18 months' time, maybe a little bit longer. After that, according to how the film structure falls into place, we'll set in motion some spin-offs that will be part of the same universe."
