Fans of Cillian Murphy and the BBC drama “Peaky Blinders” are in for some bad news. The series’ sixth season will be its last, per a report dropped on Variety.

Knight told Deadline he still plans to follow-up the series finale with a movie, saying, “Covid changed our plans. But I can say that my plan from the beginning was to end Peaky with a movie. That is what is going to happen.”
