Creator Steven Knight has shared some details about the film's plot
He told RadioTimes.com: "I know what's going to happen in those stories and it's about a sort of untold story that happened in the Second World War, which Peakys are going to be involved in."
He added to Deadline that had the series continued for a seventh instalment, he "probably wouldn't" have ventured into such a big topic, but "because it's a movie [...] I think we need a sort of gear change."

Who will star in the Peaky Blinders movie?
Given that season six ended with Tommy alive and well rather than terminally ill, as he had been led to believe, it seems viewers can expect to see Cillian Murphy make a triumphant comeback as the leader of the Brummie-based gang.
Although casting for the film hasn't been officially announced yet, while chatting to Deadline, Stephen confirmed that those heavily involved in the season six storyline - so Sam Claflin, Amber Anderson, James Frecheville, Aneurin Barnard and Neil Maskell, to name just a few - will "figure in the film".
