Netflix may be planning two Peaky Blinders spin-off series
Peaky Blinders may allegedly get two spin-off series according to Bloomberg.
The hit Netflix show left a hole in the lives of viewers following its sixth and final season in 2022.
But fans should fear no longer, as recent reports allege the series may be getting not only one – but two spin-off shows.
Bloomberg reports one of the shows will take place in Boston, 20 years after the original Peaky Blinders, which takes place in the middle of the 20th century.
The other season is said to centre around the matriarch of the Shelby brood, Polly Gray, originally played by the late Helen McCrory.

The same release also alleged that the Birmingham series would not be the only show to be franchised.
Reportedly, there are also talks of possible Addams Family spin-offs following Wednesday’s stellar success.
The publication also claimed that the streaming platform is looking to create similar shows off the back of the movie franchise, Extraction.
It is yet to be confirmed by the streaming platform if reports of the two new Peaky Blinders shows are true.
MailOnline has approached Netflix for comment.
This comes after leading man, Cillian Murphy, addressed rumours of a Peaky Blinders move in July of this year.
Writer and creator of the series Steven Knight had previously spoken out, stating that he had completed a script for a feature film version
The actor, 47, confessed in an interview with Radio Times magazine, that he was going to ‘wait and see’ what happens.

The Hollywood star, who famously played the protagonist in Christopher Nolan’s blockbuster hit Oppenheimer, shared his thoughts on bringing Peaky Blinders to the big screen..
Asked if he had spoke to Steven, Cillian told Radio Times: ‘That’s probably the worst thing about Peaky Blinders – getting asked about the movie all the time!’
‘I would love to do a movie if there’s more story to tell. I’ll wait and see but I have no update for you on that.’
The Irish actor, who plays Tommy Shelby in the six-part drama series, shared how the show skyrocketed to international acclaim.
Reflecting on Peaky Blinders success, he quipped how it was once a ‘tiny show on a Sunday’ that eventually grew, with no billboards or advertising help.
‘It just grew because people told other people to watch it. I’m really proud that it has never plateaued and each series has become richer and stronger than the last.’
