This sequel series signals that Peaky Blinders is evolving into a larger universe rather than simply ending with the original series. For fans who have hung on through every twist, betrayal, and Shelby scheming, there’s more to come — new power struggles, a changing Birmingham, and likely, more moral ambiguity. If all goes well, Peaky Blinders remains one of the rare crime dramas to not just end, but transform.
