The creator of Peaky Blinders has confirmed the show will end after season 7. Speaking at the BAFTA TV Awards last night, Steven Knight announced there will be three more seasons of the drama.
He told Digital Spy: "My ambition is to make it a story of a family between two wars, so always I've wanted to end it with the first air raid siren in Birmingham in 1939. It'll take three more series [to reach that point]."
Knight also chatted about the possibility of a Peaky Blinders movie on the red carpet last night.
"We're getting approached to do all kinds of things – the ballet, the musical... and the movie would be great", he added.
"I wouldn't want to do it at the very end, but maybe in between two of the series."
Peaky Blinders took home the award for Best Drama Series at last night's ceremony at the Royal Festival Hall in London.
Season 5 of Peaky Blinders is set to air in 2019.
