The outlet reports that Knight says the final series “will be followed by a film to round the whole thing off for good”. Elsewhere in the interview, Knight discussed new Princess Diana film Spencer, for which he wrote the script, and the negative critical reception to his 2019 film Serenity, starring Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway. Cillian Murphy in ‘Peaky Blinders’ Spencer stars Kristen Stewart and is directed by Jackie’s Pablo Larraín.
