Warning: This post contains spoilers for Peaky Blinders season 6.
Steven Knight, creator and showrunner of the hit historical drama, PeakyBlinders, has explained Tommy Shelby’s season 6 ending and what lies ahead for the character. Originally beginning in 1919, at the end of the First World War, Peaky Blinders charts the meteoric rise of the Shelby family from common street thugs to the upper echelons of British society. Always guided by the firm and calculating hand of Cillian Murphy’s Tommy, the show has seen the family cross paths with the likes of the Italian Mafia, the Irish Republican Army, Communists, Fascists and other violent street gangs.
Recently, Peaky Blinders season 6 has been airing in the UK, ahead of its international release, which is slated for June on Netflix. Beginning in 1933, at a time when prohibition laws were finally repealed in the US and the German Nazi Party came to power, the show’s final season sees the world move ever closer to the devastation of the Second World War. It is also the only season without actress Helen McCrory, who played the Shelby family matriarch Aunt Polly, who sadly passed away from cancer in April of last year.
