What will the plot of the Peaky Blinders movie look like?
Tommy Shelby was last seen in the close sequnce of Season 6 episode finale as he rides off on the white horse he named after his late wife Grace - leaving an open ending and a lot of questions on the viewers' minds.
The alternate rise and fall of the Shelby clan is something we had seen earlier in the TV series, where they face socio-economic turmoil as they grow from street-based gangsters to inluential poiticians and business people.
Though the plot for the movie is still under development, we can expect the return of the Shelbies with an action-filled continuation of this period crime saga. This can be validated by what Knight added in one of his statements saying,
I’m genuinely thrilled that this movie is about to happen. It will be an explosive chapter in the Peaky Blinders story. No holds barred. Full-on Peaky Blinders at war.
