Oct. 2 (UPI) -- Netflix announced it has ordered two seasons of a Peaky Blinders sequel series, which will be set in 1950s England.

Each season will include six, hour-long episodes.

"I'm thrilled to be announcing this new chapter in the Peaky Blinders story," the franchise's creator Steven Knight said in a statement Wednesday.

"Once again, it will be rooted in Birmingham and will tell the story of a city rising from the ashes of the Birmingham blitz. The new generation of Shelbys have taken the wheel and it will be a hell of a ride."
