A new season<\/a> of Peaky Blinders<\/a> is \u2018on its way\u2019 three years after it was apparently done for good.<\/p>\n

The British period crime<\/a> drama ran from 2013 until 2022. Set in Birmingham, it starred Cillian Murphy<\/a> as Tommy Shelby and followed the exploits of the Peaky Blinders gang following the First World War.<\/p>\n

Following significant speculation<\/a>, it was confirmed last year a movie was in development<\/a>, with creator Steven Knight<\/a> previously teasing it would be an \u2018explosive chapter\u2019 in the story with \u2018no holds barred\u2019.<\/p>\n

When speaking about the movie in February, he also teased the door had been left open<\/a> for the story to continue.<\/p>\n

\u2018I think we\u2019ve got the best British actors in one place\u2026no-one will be disappointed. It\u2019s a very fitting way to end this part of the Peaky story,\u2019 he said on BBC Breakfast, explaining his wording was done \u2018deliberately\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u2018It\u2019s not over. Let\u2019s just put it that way. I\u2019m not allowed to announce it, but I\u2019m just saying that the world of Peaky will continue,\u2019 he added.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s now been reported that a new series set in the 1950s is \u2018due to start filming this summer\u2019.<\/p>\n

The Sun <\/a>has claimed BBC bosses \u2018want the episodes ready to air next year to capitalise on a renewed wave of interest expected after the release of a Peaky Blinders feature film later this year.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018The sixth series of Peaky Blinders was supposed to be the last and the movie was meant to be the final farewell for the story,\u2019 a source told the publication.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\"WARNING:\t<\/div>
An upcoming movie is on its way, which will see Cillian Murphy reprise his role as Tommy Shelby (Picture: BBC\/ Caryn Mandabach Productions)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u2018But show boss Steven Knight couldn\u2019t resist coming back to the story \u2014 his most famous creation \u2014 and he\u2019s been dropping hints he wanted to return to do more.<\/p>\n

\u2018But the fact that it\u2019s been officially green-lit by the Beeb and wheels are in motion on pre- production will be a huge thrill to fans of the show, which was a huge hit for the BBC.\u2019<\/p>\n

The BBC declined to comment.<\/p>\n

The upcoming Peaky Blinders movie is set during the Second World War, while it\u2019s believed the new TV series would take place in the 1950s.<\/p>\n

The show could also see Cillian return, but this time as a \u2018father figure\u2019 to younger gang members.<\/p>\n

Many previously the movie could mark the final chapter for Peaky Blinders on screen before Knight\u2019s comments two months ago.<\/p>\n

After the upcoming movie was announced, Cillian also shared: \u2018It seems like Tommy Shelby wasn\u2019t finished with me.<\/p>\n

\u2018It is very gratifying to be re-collaborating with Steven Knight and Tom Harper on the film version of Peaky Blinders. This is one for the fans.\u2019<\/p>\n

Peaky Blinders is streaming on BBC iPlayer and Netflix.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
