Earlier, in an interview with Rolling Stone UK, Cillian talked about the possibility of him returning to 'Peaky Blinders'. He said, "If there’s more story there, I’d love to do it. But it has to be right. Steve Knight wrote 36 hours of television, and we left on such a high. I’m really proud of that last series. So, it would have to feel legitimate and justified to do more.”
