'Serenity': Steven Knight knows his audience best, so here comes a tropical thriller in the middle of winter

Steven Knight has penned and directed many award-winning movies and shows. In 2018, he has circled back to the thriller genre, which earned him his first major recognition in 2002.

Steven Knight has been there all along, knowing exactly what we want.

The 59-year-old Birmingham native is not only one of the three co-creators of 'Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?' that has, till date,  aired in over 160 countries, but is also the man who created 'Peaky Blinders,' the show set in his hometown featuring the aftermath of World War I. In 2013, Knight was responsible for setting Tom Hardy in a car as the sole character starring in the action drama film 'Locke.' How did he know we wanted that?

While Knight has quizzed people through giving Chris Tarrant the most iconic role of his career with 'Who wants to be a Millionaire?', he has also conjured comedy series such as 'The Detectives,' and gave us light entertainment with 'Commercial Breakdown.' Now in 2018, Knight has secured a hand in intriguing the audience with spellbinding thrillers, even though his new 'The Girl in the Spider's Web,' did not fare well with the ratings.
