Blinders Quote by Steven Knight
![“The plan is that there would be three seasons [in Taboo], and, as with Peaky Blinders, I have had a destination in mind from the beginning, because I think it helps as a writer. The destination in mind is that James Keziah Delaney sets foot on Nootka Sound. But that's a long way off.” quote by Steven Knight](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/e11/steven-knight-2205_blinders_the-plan-is-that-there-would-be-three-se_1450016.jpg)
