'Peaky Blinders' Creator's Forgotten Apple TV Sci-Fi Thriller Officially Surges on Streaming
By Google News TV ·
Steven Knight has one of the most impressive careers. The British screenwriter has created some of the most iconic British shows. From Taboo to SAS: Rogue Heroes and House of Guinness, there are chances that you've seen something with his name. His most popular show to date is Peaky Blinders, the BBC crime thriller that became a global sensation.
The series cemented his reputation for crafting gritty, atmospheric worlds and complex antiheroes. But Knight doesn't just dominate television. His filmography boasts an Oscar nomination for Dirty Pretty Things and the critically acclaimed thriller Eastern Promises. With numerous projects on the horizon, his stock keeps rising.
Knight has collaborated with numerous networks and streaming services, and he helped launch Apple's streaming service in 2019. Knight created and wrote a sci-fi thriller that helped the young streamer establish its tone and offerings to the public. Set centuries into a dystopian future where humanity has lost its sense of sight, the gritty show forces society to adapt, build, and survive in brutal new ways.
Starring Jason Momoa, See became a flagship launch title for Apple TV, showcasing Knight's signature ability to bring an abstract concept to reality with enthralling results.
See ran three seasons, blending visceral action with a complex mythological backdrop. The series received generally negative reviews from critics at launch, but viewers loved the dark tone, gore, and world-building that made See an experience. The divide is clear: critics gave it 44% on Rotten Tomatoes, while viewers rated the show 83%.
See remains one of those endlessly watchable, recommendable shows that periodically surge on streaming. The series has staged another resurgence in the past week, peaking at number eight on Apple TV's global streaming chart according to FlixPatrol's ranking. It is the only show that has concluded airing, yet it is still trending years later. Meanwhile, Knight is preparing to bring more stories to the screen.
See concluded its run three years ago, but Knight has other shows returning. His hit WWII drama SAS: Rogue Heroes is in production for Season 3, with a rumored 2027 release date. Meanwhile, House of Guinness is also in production for Season 2.
Additionally, he is working on a Peaky Blinders sequel series, another WWII series titled Roads to Freedom, a TV dramatization of the motor vehicle legend Ferrari, and a crime thriller named Small Dark Look. His biggest upcoming project is arguably the next James Bond installment, and a close second is the third installment of Taylor Sheridan's Sicario.
Stream all three seasons of See on Apple TV and stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
