"By order of the Peaky Blinders!"

Steven Knight has been busy promoting his new show Taboo, the epic period drama that stars Tom Hardy, but Peaky Blinders is rarely far from his thoughts, especially since he's busy writing the fourth series which will start shooting in a few months time. Knight previously said that the upcoming season is the best one yet, but with the news that the show will be returning to our screens for a further two seasons, how will Thomas Shelby's story end? Spoiler alert but last season saw Tommy (Cillian Murphy) outwit the Russians during a jewelry heist only to find his family arrested when he returned home. What does the future have in store for Birmingham's most notorious street gang? Speaking with the Radio Times, Knight said that he thinks the show will end after Season 5. "Never say never, but we feel that [series] five may be the last. We don’t know for sure. We will see how we feel about it. Peaky is one of those things everybody loves, and the response has been so magnificent on both sides of the Atlantic", he said. Regarding a specific ending, the Peaky Blinders creator does have a definitive time frame in mind. Knight says: “I have got the end in my mind; whether that happens at the end of five is the question. I want it to end when the first air raid siren sounds in Birmingham. It is a story of a family between two world wars. It begins in 1919 when they have just come back from the war and the family’s journey is towards legitimacy and respectability and to leave their past behind. The big question of the whole series is this: is that possible?” Whatever way that Knight decides to end the show, we're going to be absolutely hooked.  As we've mentioned before, a Peaky Blinders movie has also been mentioned.
