Peaky Blinders - The Complete Collection [DVD] [2022]

Product Information

Naturally, that didn't happen, but relaxed restrictions on UK television and film production at the beginning of 2021 meant filming did eventually begin in January last year, before wrapping in May. In the UK, viewing figures for new episodes have tripled since the show began – so don't be surprised if Peaky Blinders season 6 isn't the last we'll see of the Shelbys. Don't expect it to arrive any time soon, though. Speaking at the London Film Festival in October, Knight confirmed he plans to work on a Peaky Blinders movie "set in and shot in Birmingham" after season 6's release – meaning full-scale development on the project isn't likely to begin until later on in 2022. In time for the show's TV finale, then, we've rounded up everything we know about Peaky Blinders season 6 below – from its confirmed Netflix release date and new cast members to confirmed story details. The latter has earned major plaudits of late, including a nomination for BAFTA's Rising Star Award, and so proves another exciting addition to an already-stellar cast.

A pandemic-hampered production schedule has kept fans on tenterhooks for over two years, but new episodes officially landed in February 2022 on BBC iPlayer – with a supposedly "dark as f**k" script ready to tie up the many loose ends left by season 5's cliffhanger finale. Obviously, Cillian Murphy is returning as Tommy, along with the other usual Shelby suspects, including Paul Anderson as Arthur Shelby. The psychological troubles Tommy experienced at the end of season 5 also triggered the ethereal apparitions of Tommy's dead wife, Grace Shelby, so we'll likely see Annabelle Wallis again, too.During a BFI Q&A prior to McCrory's death, showrunner Knight was asked if Aunt Polly would survive until the very end of the show, to which he simply replied: "Yes." McCrory herself had also previously expressed her desire to return for Peaky Blinders' final series, eager to "see it through to the end". Evidently, releasing Peaky Blinders season 6 in 2022 wasn't the original plan. As with most shows whose new series were expected to arrive between 2020 and 2021, the Covid-19 pandemic put a pin in filming of Peaky Blinders season 6, with director Anthony Byrne telling Digital Spy that the intention was to begin shooting in March 2020 and end in July after a 78-day run. But what of Michael's mysterious partner, Gina, played by The Queen's Gambit's Anya Taylor-Joy? Were the scheming couple behind the assassination's failure? Michael's bid to take charge of Shelby Company Ltd certainly raises our suspicions. Five seasons in, and Peaky Blinders remains essential viewing. It's a rare thing for a UK-made show to develop the credibility of a bigger-budget US drama, and it's no wonder that more and more big names are showing up in every season.

Beyond those hazy details, though, we'll have to wait until new episodes are released to really know what Peaky Blinders season 6 has in store. What comes next for Peaky Blinders? What comes after season 6? "My plan from the beginning was to end Peaky with a movie... this is what's going to happen," Knight has said. What exactly comes after this final season of the show is a bit of a mystery, though, and Cillian Murphy has neither confirmed nor denied his interest in the project: just know that the Peaky Blinders story won't end here. Peaky Blinders season 6 release date As for its setting, we know World War II will start to loom over the story in Peaky Blinders season 6. "Because of the nature of the decade, the 1930s, we know what happened at the end – that war began. There are rumblings and rumors of war and that's overshadowing the whole thing.It makes the stakes higher," Knight told the Press Association in 2020.Release date: Peaky Blinders season 6 began streaming on BBC iPlayer in the UK on February 27, 2022. New episodes then hit Netflix internationally on June 10. Recovered from that explosive 90-second clip? Good, then you'll know that several familiar faces will be returning in season 6 to tie up the loose ends left by Tommy's failed assassination of Sir Oswald Mosely.

Murphy won't confirm or deny his involvement, either, telling Esquire in the aforementioned profile: "I’m open to ideas. I think [Knight] wants to, but I haven’t read anything.” We do know this new season will be the finale for the show in its original guise, but Knight has confirmed that "while the TV series will be coming to an end, the story will continue in another form.” It's looking like the murky machinations of the interwar elite will become clearer in the next season, then, and when it comes to Gina, specifically, "there's a lot to be revealed about her next series. She's a player, she's a manipulator. She's part of a wider plan," Byrne said. We also know Knight has long hoped to "end Peaky with a movie," something that is "going to happen," according to a recent Deadline report, so we'd anticipate seeing a feature-length Peaky Blinders adventure in the near future.In rare admissions about Peaky Blinders season 6, Cillian Murphy told Rolling Stone and Esquire that new episodes are "dark as f**k" and "going to be very intense," adding that "the word we keep using is 'gothic.' Yeah, it’s going to be heavy!" In a particularly exciting rumor, Julia Roberts has also been tipped to join the show's cast – though it's unclear who she'd play. “I don’t know where that got out," Byrne told the BBC (via Esquire), "but, yeah, fingers crossed on that.” We haven't heard any more on that front, though, and since she doesn't appear in the first official trailer, we're not getting our hopes up. So, with Peaky Blinders season 6 just around the corner, what do we know in terms of its cast and story?
