Steven Knight's misconception was revealed during a conference, highlighting his surprise upon learning the mature themes of the HBO series.

Steven Knight, creator of Peaky Blinders, believed Game of Thrones was a children's show due to its fantasy elements.
Knight's misunderstanding was clarified when he considered casting Aidan Gillen, known for his adult role in Game of Thrones, in Peaky Blinders.
Knight shared this humorous revelation at the Royal Television Society conference in London.
Gillen's portrayal of Aberama Gold in Peaky Blinders brought a new depth to the series, contrasting his role as Petyr Baelish in Game of Thrones.
