As production finally begins on the highly-anticipated sixth season of the Peaky Blinders , creator Steven Knight has announced that the acclaimed period crime drama series will officially be concluding its run and will no longer return for a seventh season. This announcement comes after Season 5 had made its U.S. debut last October on Netflix.
“ Peaky is back and with a bang”, Knight said in a statement. “After the enforced production delay due to the Covid pandemic, we find the family in extreme jeopardy and the stakes have never been higher. We believe this will be the best series of all and are sure that our amazing fans will love it. While the TV series will be coming to an end, the story will continue in another form.”
Executive producer Tommy Bulfin added, “Along with our wonderful, supportive, partners at BBC and Netflix, we have been working diligently to ensure we can get Peaky safely back into production; the safety of our cast and crew is always our priority. Thank you to all the Peaky fans who have been so unwaveringly supportive and patient. Series six marks the end of an epic story that has entranced audiences since it first started in 2013, but the world of Peaky Blinders will most definitely live on.”
