There are mixed feelings surrounding Season 6 being the end of the road for this epic series.
The Abrupt Ending
Much to the dismay of fans that were waiting with bated breath to see what happens next, the filming of Season 6 was met with a series of COVID related delays. Throughout this torturous delay, producers have remained adamant that Seasons 6 and 7 will be well worth the wait, and several thrilling hints were dropped, indicating that filming was set to resume shortly.
The sudden news that Season 6 would actually be the grand finale of this series has been met with mixed emotions. In spite of their initial devastation, some fans are commenting to say they're happy to see the show end on a high note, while others are truly wounded by the news that their time with the Shelby's is coming to a close.
Reactions
Anyone who has followed Cillian Murphy and The Peaky Blinders through the first 5 Seasons will tell you that this series is concluding prematurely. In spite of the fact that this is a very fast-paced show that covers a significant amount of territory in each episode, there is so much more that could potentially be in store for the Shelby's and their enemies.
As fan reactions pour in, some are trying to find the silver lining in all this bad news, with some fans suggesting that with a show as epic as this one, it's best to bow out before it falls from grace. To this tune, one fan comment revealed; "Good It’s good that way it will be remembered as a very high quality show we don’t’ want the quality to slowly lower to a point that the show has lost of all its greatness." Another fan felt the same, and they stated; "It's a good thing that they don't wanna drag it as long as they can milk it. It's better this way."
Other fans are completely devastated, commenting to say; "I'm already so broken," and "And bad things of 2021 started with this😪 news." Other fans remarked that they were 'heartbroken', a statement that so many can relate to.
The creators of the show have teased the fact that fans will still have something to look forward to, by stating that "the story will “continue in another form,” the details of which have yet to be revealed. 'By Order Of The Peaky Blinders,' fans demand more.
