Speaking with Radio Times, Byrne said: "It's such a 'Peaky' thing to do for the last hurrah. It's the 10:22 news for one night only."
According to the director, the season six finale will feel "very different" to everything that's come before. In essence, he's hoping that this final episode will serve as a set-up for the planned feature film.
He said: "It feels very, very different to the rest of the season. It feels very, very different to anything we've done before. It's very epic in scope. It feels like a film – it's a kind of dry run for the feature film."
With only two episodes left of the series, things are certainly heating up for what is hoping to be a memorable endgame to the crime drama. The latest episode saw the Shelby family mourn a loss with Cillian Murphy's Tommy plotting his revenge.
