Peaky Blinders Season 7 Filming News Update: Production Officially Underway
According to sources close to the production, filming for Peaky Blinders Season 7 has officially commenced, with the BBC giving the show the green light. An insider revealed to Radio Times that the news will come as a huge thrill to fans of the show, who have been eagerly awaiting the next installment of the Shelby family’s story.
The BBC declined to comment when approached by Radio Times, but it was reported earlier this month that creator Steven Knight had indicated that a new run of the drama could be filmed later this year. The show is expected to follow the Shelby family in the 1950s, although no official confirmation has been made.
As reported by Broadcast, a seventh season hadn’t been greenlit, but discussions were taking place between the BBC, Netflix, and producer Banijay UK. At the time, Netflix and the BBC declined to comment on the report. However, with production now officially underway, fans can expect to see more of the Shelby family’s antics in the near future.
The news comes as fans prepare to flock to cinemas for the Peaky Blinders film, which features Cillian Murphy, Rebecca Ferguson, Barry Keoghan, and Tim Roth. The film is set during World War II, with Knight telling Netflix’s Tudum: "The country is at war, and so, of course, are our Peaky Blinders."
While not much is known about the plot of the film, Knight previously told Radio Times that the story would be an "untold story that happened in the Second World War, which Peakys are going to be involved in." With Tommy Shelby alive at the end of Peaky Blinders season 6 and not terminally ill, as he was led to believe, it is likely that the film will feature a big comeback for the character.
Fans of the show will be aware that Peaky Blinders seasons 1-6 are available to watch on BBC iPlayer. For those looking for more information on the show, Radio Times has a comprehensive guide to the series, including news, reviews, and interviews with the cast and crew.
In related news, Radio Times has confirmed that production on the Peaky Blinders film is well underway, with Cillian Murphy and Steven Knight reunited on set. The film is expected to be a major hit with fans of the show, and Radio Times will be bringing you all the latest updates and news as more information becomes available.
