We can expect that the final series will have six episodes, following the same pattern as the last five seasons.

So far, it has been confirmed that episode one of the new series will be titled 'Black Day.'

Although this may be the last season of the popular BBC drama, it has been confirmed that a Peak Blinders feature film is on its way after the creator of the show, Steven Knight, told Variety: “I am going to write the feature which will be set in and shot in Birmingham and that will probably be the sort of the end of the road for ‘Peaky Blinders’ as we know it.”

The movie will go into production in 2023.
