Whether his character will then appear in the new series starring Bell is still up in the air, but honestly, even a movie appearance is enough to make us lose our minds. We need our Tommy fix!
6. Steven Knight Is Still The Mastermind Behind It All

Knowing he’s guiding this next chapter means we’re in safe, incredibly talented hands. No cap, this is crucial.
7. Get Ready For A Post-WWII Vibe Shift
The original series ended just before the start of WWII. The new film and series are reportedly set in the aftermath of the war, moving into the 1940s and possibly beyond.
