Yesterday marked the highly-anticipated finale of Peaky Blinders, with the hugely popular show coming to an end after six seasons. However, this isn't the last we've seen of the show's creator, Steven Knight, as he's already got his next project lined up.

SPOILER ALERT: This post contains details about the series finale of Peaky Blinders…: Before it debuts on Netflix on June 10 in the U.S. and other markets, period gangster epic Peaky Blinders‘ sixth and final season concluded with a feature-length episode on BBC One in the UK tonight. Created by Steven Knight, who cautioned me before the finale to “expect the unexpected,” Peaky went out in top and twisty form with operatic and Godfather-esque flourishes. Since debuting in 2013, and gaining a rabid global fanbase, the Shelby family is meeting its end as a TV series, however, Knight has confirmed that a movie is going to happen — and given how the finale played out, there is still much to explore.

It’s been brilliant, and I want to keep him as part of it, going forward.”Previously, Knight said that characters introduced in season six also help set up the forthcoming film.In an interview with Esquire, Knight said the new characters in season six, which is currently airing on BBC One and is set to hit Netflix in June, will shape the direction of the film.He said: “In series six we’re bringing in the new generation, and they are going to be part of what happens in [the] film.
