Series five of Peaky Blinders has only just finished filming but creator Steven Knight is already looking towards the future.
There really is no rest for the wicked as Knight plans to start work on writing series six of the hit show very, very soon.
So the Shelby gang won’t be disappearing from our screens anytime in the near future.
During an interview with Slate, Knight also discussed why the show is so important to him.
He said:
Peaky is a very personal thing for me because it’s based on stories that I was told as a kid by my parents. At the very beginning, I tried to have other writers involved but it just didn’t work.There’s no writers room, or any other writer involved. I write everything from beginning to end. Maybe it’s just me not being able to let go of something, especially with Peaky. I can’t let it go.I’m about to start writing season 6 now and if all the wheels fall off, or it goes horribly wrong, there’s probably people that will say something (about his writing process). But at this moment, it has its own logic and momentum. Right now, it feels as if the characters are just writing themselves.
