Peaky Blinders could last for two more seasons (Picture: BBC)

Peaky Blinders’s creator Steven Knight has revealed he hopes the show will continue for at least two more series – and promises the upcoming new episodes are the best yet.

Speaking to TalkSport, Steven spoke out for the first time about what to expect for the upcoming episodes, and his answers were the definition of giving us hype.

With season five now wrapped, Steven assured that there will ‘almost certainly’ be two more seasons, which is just what we like to hear.

Steven then said: ‘We just finished shooting a week and a half ago. Series five is done.


‘I can honestly say that it’s the best yet. It’s really good. It’s fantastic and it all fell together beautifully.’



He added: ‘I think audiences are going to be on the edge of their seats.’

However, the BBC still haven’t confirmed any more series just yet, so hold on to your flat caps for now.

Seeing as season five still doesn’t have a release date, the ongoing hype was made even better by the hint that Alfie Solomons (Tom Hardy) could soon rejoin the ranks.

After Tom was spotted returning back to London and bearing an unkempt beard similar to the Jewish gangster, some fans are beginning to speculate his last exit wasn’t as permanent as first thought.

The new series will see the rise of the Fascist part in the UK, with Sam Claflin joining the cast as party leader, Oswald Mosley.

Will he be a friend or foe of the Shelby boys?

Sam is just one of a host of new cast members joining the popular BBC show, with Anya Taylor-Joy (Split), Hollyoaks’ Emmett J Scanlan and Brian Gleeson also being new faces in the area.

We’ve already been teased that not everybody will make it out alive as their first day of shooting in 2019 involved a gun and some blood in a woodland (well…that’s what the teaser makes us think anyway.)

Peaky Blinders returns later this year on BBC1.
