Peaky Blinders will return for its sixth and seventh installments, the show's creator Steven Knight has confirmed.
Knight also revealed that lead actor Cillian Murphy and the main cast of the BBC gangster series are on board to come back, The Independent reported.
We are definitely doing (series) six and we will probably do seven. We've talked to Cillian Murphy and he's all for it, and the rest of the principal cast are in for it, Knight told Birmingham Press Club.
The scribe, who is currently penning the forthcoming fifth run of the show, also revealed that he has been approached by Rambert dance company to do a ballet version of the show with the Shelby family front and centre.
I had a meeting with Ballet Rambert who want to do Peaky Blinders - The Ballet'. I'm saying 'why not?' I wasn't supposed to say anything about it, but I don't mind talking about things, he said.
The most recent season of the show ended in December with protagonist Tommy Shelby (Murphy) becoming elected Labour MP for Birmingham.
Production on the fifth chapter begins in Birmingham this autumn with Paul Anderson and Helen McCrory expected to return.
