Speaking to in February, the show’s writer Steven Knight confirmed that a feature film would definitely go ahead.
He said: ‘We’re going to make a film – a feature film – which will move the world on, and then once we’ve moved the world on into the Second World, we’ll see where that takes us.
‘It’s now a situation where the world… you know, around the world, the Peaky world, it’s got so much energy, and so much following, and such a huge fanbase, that you think: “Well, let’s just carry on.” So we do.’
Chatting to about the film in February, Steven also shared: ’I know exactly what’s going to happen, I know what the story is and I’m writing at the moment.
‘It’s a very specific story, that’s based on a true story from the Second World War and will be told in the Peaky way.’
Elsewhere, Conrad revealed that the experience of filming Peaky Blinders was ‘incredible’ and being on set was ‘so much fun’.
He said that he had a number of favourite moments from the filming, revealing: ‘I had never been to Manchester or Birmingham before, so spending six months there was great, both are such amazing cities, and you can tell where a lot of the story comes from because a lot of the old architecture and lot of the sets are not make believe they are there in Birmingham and Manchester.’
Conrad also became close to his co-stars during filming, including Harry Kirton, 23, who played Finn Shelby, and Irish actor Daryl McCormack, 29, who adopted the role of the handsome young Isiah Jesus in the drama.
‘I had a really great time and I became close with a couple of the other cast, Harry Kirton and Daryl McCormack, we were in most of our filming together so yes, we hung out after shooting. It was fun.’
He added that just being on set is ‘so exciting’ as there are constant explosions going off, and they’re very high drama.
‘No, just being on those film sets is so exciting. You’ve got explosions going off, you’ve got people wielding shot guns, and horses and drama, it’s all there right in front of you, so it’s such an exciting show to be on, because there’s all that drama and action happening before your eyes, so there was that as well.’
Conrad also touched on how ’emotional’ it was featuring in the final ever episode of Peaky Blinders, but also how it was ‘strange’.
‘Filming that last scene, that last episode that last day was strange for me, because I’ve only come onto it this season, so, for the rest of the cast and the rest of the crew, that 10 years of work has come to fruition in this final day, so it was very very emotional.
‘And that emotion wasn’t necessarily something that I felt, because I haven’t been doing this, it hasn’t been my life for the last 10 years like it has for the majority of the cast and crew so it was strange for me but I could kind of feel it I could feel that on behalf of them in a way, how important that is, this final series.’
Series 1 – 6 of Peaky Blinders is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
