Peaky Blinders Soundtrack Guide: Every Song In Season 6 (So Far)
Warning: Contains spoilers for Peaky Blinders season 6, episode 1.
ThePeaky Blinders soundtrack has always been carefully orchestrated and the use of songs in Peaky Blinders season 6 promises to continue the tradition. Peaky Blinders is returning for its sixth and final season ahead of a movie that is set to conclude the main storyline. However, creator Steven Knight has already indicated that the movie will serve to set up spin-off shows that can take place within the same universe.
Peaky Blinders season 6 picks up where season 5 left off as Tommy Shelby (Cillian Murphy) contemplates suicide after the failed assassination of Oswald Mosley.

In 1933, Tommy Shelby is exploring his options in America and facing a new age of jazz (which he doesn’t care for).
