Peaky Blinders was initially set to run for seven seasons. Tommy Shelby’s final redemption storyline happens in Season 7. “which will tell a new tale, where Tommy Shelby, who begins as this nihilistic, just looking out for his family person, will be rehabilitated, and he will turn nice,” creator Steven Knight stated in 2019.
Peaky Blinders Season 7 Is It Canceled Or Renewed? Release Date, Trailer, Cast
Season 6 closes with a brief chance to redeem Tommy, who is seen riding off on a white horse, contrary to the first time we’ve seen him riding an unlit horse in the first episode. Tommy’s redemption is only partially realized in the final season, forcing him into a tense and committed partnership with the fascist British party in the same year that Hitler was elected Fuhrer in Germany. (Oswald Mosley married Diana Freeman-Mitford on June 26, 1936. The show’s timeline is a bit far from the present; Tommy sees a newspaper article about the marriage in 1934.)
Although Tommy can see his former life burning as he speeds through the countryside, one is left with the feeling that perhaps his last action isn’t quite over. It is believed that the Second World War is rapidly getting closer, and Churchill is likely to be confronted by an increasing fascist wave sweeping Europe. Tommy, an elected member of Parliament, must remove one additional demon before he can relax: Mosley. This requirement is creating more than a few Peaky Blinders. Even though there will never be Season 7 on the horizon, we’re not done by Tommy Shelby.
At a panel debate during the BFI London Film Festival, creator Steven Knight stated that the film’s production would begin in 2023. “I’m going to write the feature film, which will be set and shot in Birmingham,” Knight stated. “And it will almost certainly be the end of Peaky Blinders as we know it.”
In “the end of Peaky Blinders,” Knight signified Thomas Shelby’s involvement with the show and his own. He has suggested that there could exist “shows connected” (he dislikes the word “spinoff”), but they’d follow another direction. Knight would prefer the idea of “pass on the baton.” This means that shows are set in the same universe as the original but without the main actors.
Knight stated how the film would fit into the timeline for Digital Spy. “We’re going to produce a picture – a feature film – that will drive the world forward, and then we’ll see where it leads us once we’ve propelled the globe forward into the Second World War.”
This suggests that the film will likely occur before Hitler entered Poland around 1939. It’s unclear what the movie’s conflict-related events will progress, and Knight’s last line concerning watching events following the battle could be an allusion to future series.
As of now, we can anticipate the film taking in between the years 1934 and the early 1940s. It’s not yet time to establish the date of release, and if filming starts this year, the release date is likely to be delayed by a calendar year.
A rough estimate puts the film for release around 2024. Although Knight hasn’t yet confirmed Cillian Murphy‘s return to the role of Tommy Shelby, it’s difficult to imagine the film without the star. If the film features the final battle between Tommy and Mosley, Sam Claflin is likely to be a returnee. Tom Holland was originally a contestant for the show and is believed to be part of the cast.
