The series' director, Anthony Byrne, previously suggested the potential of a spin-off series focusing on the younger 'Peakies' causing chaos in London, as reported by Digital Spy.

It's clear that the upcoming film is set to break boundaries and venture into unexpected territory, thereby adding to the anticipation.

The introduction of a new generation of characters has undoubtedly set the stage for what is to come, keeping fans on the edge of their seats.
