'Peaky Blinders' Might Get a Seventh Season After All

Nothing keeps the Peaky Blinders down. Not even what seemed at the time to be a series ending. Word on the street is that, despite running six full seasons on Netflix and the BBC and landing a feature film continuation, the story of the Shelby clan might not be as concluded as we all thought.

Filming wrapped last year on the long-planned Peaky movie, rumored to be titled The Immortal Man. Plot details about the project, which will see Oscar-winner Cillian Murphy (Oppenheimer) reprise his role as gang leader Tommy Shelby, have been kept under wraps, likely because the movie will focus on the fallout from the Season 6 finale. (In it, we saw the infamous anti-hero ride off into a new life after essentially faking his own death.)

But while The Immortal Man is (allegedly) supposed to wrap up Tommy Shelby's story, that doesn't mean the larger family saga can't continue without him. And although series creator Steven Knight is, of course, plenty busy these days, with multiple other shows (A Thousand Blows, Rogue Heroes, the forthcoming House of Guiness) trucking along on various platforms, he seems unable to leave the world of the Peaky Blinders completely behind. He has been rather cagily insisting for some time now that the film "won't be the end" of their story.
