Yahoo Finance 'Peaky Blinders' S6 Will Get 'Supernatural', Says Steven Knight
Steven Knight's never been afraid of chucking a few ghosts and returns from the grave into Peaky Blinders, and the showrunner says that the sixth season of the show will add even more wibbly-woo to the mix.
"I like the supernatural element," Knight told the official Peaky Blinders website. "Is Tommy cursed? In other words, is everything predestined, are lives already mapped out? Do you have free will or not?
"Tommy sometimes feels that he doesn't because it seems that everything is destined to stop him or move him in a particular direction. It's the same with the whole family.
"I explore that more in the next series."
So with the last two seasons in sight, what exactly is Tommy's endgame? What does he actually want now? By the end of the fourth season, Knight said, Tommy "has learned that he can’t escape where he’s from and who he is, so he’s carrying on almost to prove a point."
He's also had a rifle through the fan theories that pop up over the course of the series too.
"I do read stuff on the internet," Knight said. "I look online to see what people are saying, especially when the series is on because what you want is to start a conversation that carries on between episodes. I think it’s fantastic. I love it. The fan art and the tattoos are just amazing."
Unfortunately, it looks like you're going to be waiting until 2022 for the next season thanks to the coronavirus, according to director Anthony Byrne.
