Speaking on the final season, writer and creater of Peaky Blinders Steven Knight said: "Peaky is back and with a bang. 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."
What is next for the Peaky Blinders?
There have been talks of a potential movie surrounding the show, and possibly even a ballet score in the making.
Created and entirely written by Knight, the beloved series first aired on BBC Two nine years ago, winning the BAFTA for Best Drama in its fourth season and then making the move to BBC One in 2019 with audiences of over 7 million.
Executive producers are Caryn Mandabach, Steven Knight, Jamie Glazebrook, David Mason, Anthony Byrne and Cillian Murphy.
