Peaky Blinders feature film to go on floors in 2023
As per a report by Variety, Steven Knight, the creator of Peaky Blinders spoke at the BFI London Film Festival about the highly anticipated 6th and final season and also gave an update about the feature film. Knight said that the movie would go on floors after season 6 and the movie will be the end of the road for Peaky Blinders. He said, "And then I am going to write the feature which will be set in and shot in Birmingham. And that will probably be the sort of the end of the road for ‘Peaky Blinders’ as we know it."
The series focuses on the life of the Shelby crime family as they seek to make a name for themselves in the aftermath of World War I. The show boasts a star-studded cast led by Murphy’s Thomas Shelby and is joined by Paul Anderson as his older brother Arthur. The series has also featured the likes of Sam Neill, Tom Hardy, Adrien Brody, Anya Taylor-Joy, Sam Claflin and Stephen Graham. Season five of the show aired back in 2019 and the production on the sixth and final season of the show was originally slated to go on floors in March 2020 but was delayed due to the COVD-19 pandemic.
