The end is in sight for the Peaky Blinders as series creator Steven Knight has confirmed the crime drama will finsh after its seventh season. 

However, it's not all bad news. Speaking after the BAFTAs on Sunday evening, Steven told Digital Spy how he is considering the possibiltiy of making a follow-movie movie. 

The show's boss told the publication: "My ambition is to make it a story of a family between two wars, so always I've wanted to end it with the first air raid siren in Birmingham in 1939.

"It'll take three more series [to reach that point]." 

It's thought that the film would be released after the final season has aired, though Steven is not opposed to the idea of having it come out between two of the remaining series. 

"We're getting approached to do all kinds of things – the ballet, the musical… and the movie would be great.

"I wouldn't want to do it at the very end, but maybe in between two of the series."

Peaky Blinders took home the award for Best Drama at the BAFTA ceremony in London last night, beating out Netflix's The Crown and Line of Duty

Accepting the award,  Steven gave a nod to the show's stars Cillian Murphy and Helen McCrory, saying: "I wish the people who created such iconic TV, soon maybe they will be here as well because they deserve to be."

The fifth season will air on BBC Two in 2019 and is set to be released on Netflix.

Netflix has confirmed the air date for the second season of 13 Reasons Why.  Season two will hit the streaming service launch on Netflix, Friday 18 May 2018.

Season two picks up in the aftermath of Hannah's death and the start of the characters' complicated journeys towards healing and recovery.

Liberty High prepares to go on trial, but someone will stop at nothing to keep the truth surrounding Hannah's death concealed. A series of ominous polaroids lead Clay and his classmates to uncover a sickening secret and a conspiracy to cover it up.

The show has been labelled controversial after many being claimed it glamorizes mental health, however others have praised the show, saying how it has helped them talk about their own struggles.

In response to the criticism, new resources will be added to 13ReasonsWhy.info, a website created by Netfilx to discuss the distressing themes portrayed in the show. 

In a series of videos, the cast will talk about issues such as bullying, sexual assault and drug abuse. 

"It's a very exciting season for a lot of reasons," Kate Walsh, who stars as Hannah's mom Olivia, recently told E! News.

"You see us sort of following the trail of Bryce Walker, so this season deals with sexual assault, it deals with truth, it deals with responsibility, it deals with the aftermath of Hannah's death…And really trying to, again, look for responsibility and accountability. It's very intense and very, I think, still totally addictive."

We cannot wait for the new season of 13 Reasons Why.

Claire Foy won the hearts of many for her Golden Globe-winning role as Queen Elizabeth on The Crown, however, fans were hugely disappointed when reports that she was paid less than her co-star Matt Smith came to light last month. 

It was revealed that Smith, who plays Prince Philip in the Netflix drama, earned a whopping £10,000 more per episode.

In light of the controversy, reports are now claiming that Claire, 33, is set to receive a lump sum of £200,000 (€226,880) from the production company. 

Speaking about the pay gap, the actress recently admitted she was embarrassed by the whole thing, but insisted it was an eye-opening moment that would stick with her for the rest of her career. 

"It definitely opened my eyes to a lot. And I certainly won't be naïve about those things," Foy sad.

"It's really opened my eyes about what I am allowed to have an opinion about, and what I'm allowed to stand up for myself about.

"And I think that's really changed my approach to myself and other women in this industry. It's been only a positive thing – even though, embarrassing."

Matt Smith also commented on the situation, saying how he supported his co-star "completely." 

"I support her completely, and I'm pleased that it was resolved and they made amends for it, because that's what needs to happen," he said.

A new cast will take over Foy and Smith's roles in the next season of The Crown, with an air date yet to be revealed.

We have had a Stranger Things shaped hole in our hearts ever since we finished binge-watching season two last October.

We miss Eleven, Will, Hopper and the hero of season two- Steve- a lot. However, fans were thrilled to hear that the cast has finally started filming the third instalment of the popular Netflix series.

Unfortunately, the director of Stranger Things shared a disappointing update with fans. Speaking to Collider,  series producer and director Shawn Levy revealed that the upcoming season won’t be as long as the previous two.

Season two featured nine gripping and thrilling episodes, however, season three will only feature eighth, Shawn Levy confirmed.

 

A post shared by Stranger Things (@strangerthingstv) on

Luckily, all is not lost, the director commented on the potential of future seasons and it looks like we’ll be watching the sci-fi horror series for quite some time.

“Season Four is definitely happening. There’s very much the possibility of a season beyond that one,” he shared.

Eleven, Joyce and co. will be returning for the thirds series, and we will also meet two new characters, with Cary Elwes joining as Mayor Kline, and Jake Busey will guest star as Bruce, a journalist for The Hawkins Post.

Series three of Stranger Things will take place during the summer of 1985. The Duffer Brothers said that the third series will focus on the gang as they tackle puberty and grapple with teenage life.

Fans will be delighted to hear that the greatest dynamic duo- Steve and Dustin- will be heavily featured in the new episodes. Their bond will be stronger than ever in series three with Shawn Levy telling Glamour, “I want to see them connect more and be more familiar with each other- like they’re brothers.”

It has been rumoured that series three will air in 2019. We cannot wait to return to Hawkins!

Who doesn't love a good Netflix binge?

The online streaming service has become a familiar part of everyday life and has revolutionised the way we spend our lazy Saturday nights in.

But with thousands of films and series to choose from, narrowing down what to watch can be a real chore. 

Unless you know exactly what you're looking for, scrolling through endless pages of things you've already vetoed in your head can be quite annoying.

See, the algorithm used by the streaming service makes suggestions based on the user's watching habits, meaning we often see the same films popping up over and over again.

But what if you decide to switch it up and trade your usual Hugh Grant rom-com in for an action packed horror?

Well, this Netflix hack is about to make that transition a whole lot easier. 

Simply copy this link into your browser: www.netflix.com/browse/genre/XXXX

Replace the XXXX with a number from this spreadsheet of codes, and voilà – genres for days! 

We can't guarantee that this will solve the 'what do you want to watch?' argument, but hey, at least you'll have options.

Bad news for fans of Ru Paul's Drag Race. 

Up until now, avid viewers of the show were free to binge watch any season of the show on Netflix. 

However, the streaming service has announced that as of April 30, seasons two through seven will be removed from the service.

'Unfortunately series 2-7 will be leaving at the end of the month,' a Netflix spokesperson told Pink News.

'Sadly, this is due to rights and licensing issues.'

'However, the remaining series will still be available on the system.'

A petition has been conceived in protest of the series' removal. 

'On the 30th of April 2018 Ru Paul’s drag race seasons 2-7 are going to be taken of Netflix. This is unacceptable,' reads the petition, which has over 28,000 signatures. 

'RuPaul drag race is a groundbreaking show which has not only opened up the minds of millions to knew ideas, but also showed everyone who has watched this incredible show that it’s okay to be who they are.'

'Without this show on Netflix the messages that it’s sharing will be closed if to many who need it most.'

We're adding our names right this minute…

To be honest, I had no intention to start watching this show when I first saw it appear on my Netflix homepage.

I'm not big into reality TV and I felt like it would just be another one if these silly staged shows that make me feel like I'm losing brain cells by the second.

Yet, because some of my friends strongly advised it, I gave it a go and I am not afraid to say it, I fell in love with the all-new Fab Five. 

Featuring Antoni Porowski, food and wine expert; Tan France, fashion expert; Karamo Brown, culture expert; Bobby Berk, design expert and Jonathan Van Ness, grooming expert, the reboot of the cult Bravo series Queer Eye for the Straight Guy sent five gay lifestyle experts to America’s Deep South to make-over the lives of men in distress.

All five guys have fun and engaging personalities and after a few minutes, you just wish you could be friends with them.

I guess you never know if it is true or not, but they all seem to genuinely get along well and to be best friends in real life, which makes them even more loveable.

Here is what Twitter had to say about the show, and I'd say it sums up very well what I've been feeling watching it.

As the Easter weekend approaches, we can't help but dream about curling up on the sofa with a cup of tea in one hand and a giant Easter egg in front of us.

We've got movie nights planned and a Gilmore Girls binge-session planned with the girls.

The thought of spending the bank holiday weekend in an overcrowded play-centre sounds like our worst nightmare, so you'll be delighted to hear that a very special show has been added to Netflix.

Fans were clamouring for a second series, but with the first storyline ending with finality, many wondered if The Sinner 2 would ever be a possibility. 

Thankfully, word from the Netflix Gods is that the series is coming back for a second series.

According to Spoiler TV, the show is returning with a new horrific case for Detective Ambrose to solve.

 

A post shared by The Sinner (@thesinnerusa) on

'In the wake of the Cora Tannetti case, Detective Harry Ambrose (Bill Pullman) is called back to his hometown in distant rural New York to assess a disturbing new crime: an 11-year-old boy's horrific double-homicide and his seemingly inexplicable motive,' reads the description

'As comes to realise there's nothing ordinary about the boy or where he came from, his investigation leads him straight into the hidden darkness of his hometown and pitting him against those who'll stop at nothing to protect its secrets.' 

We have chills down our spines already just thinking about it. 

There's no word yet on a release date, but hopefully Netflix will turn it around ASAP.
