Peaky Blinders Season 6 Hits Netflix: Everything You Need to Know

All six episodes of Peaky Blinders Season 6 launched on Netflix on June 10, bringing the acclaimed crime drama's television run to a close. Netflix Tudum, Deadline, and ComicBook.com reported the global streaming drop following the season's initial broadcast in the United Kingdom.

Where did Season 6 start?

Season 6 debuted in late February on BBC One in the UK, drawing 3.8 million overnight viewers according to Deadline. That figure tied the series' overall record, which was previously set by the Season 5 finale in September 2019. The show originally premiered on BBC Two in 2013 before moving to BBC One in 2019, as reported by Deadline.

The final television chapter follows a storyline rooted in 1919 Small Heath, Birmingham, where gang leader Thomas Shelby, played by Cillian Murphy, attempts to move the family crime operation toward legitimacy after World War I. Season 6 picks up following the Season 5 cliffhanger, which involved Tommy infiltrating Britain’s fascist movement, a botched assassination, and lingering grief over Grace's death, according to Netflix Tudum.

Who stars in the final season?

The core cast returning for Season 6 includes:

• Cillian Murphy as Thomas "Tommy" Shelby
• Paul Anderson as Arthur Shelby
• Tom Hardy
• Finn Cole, Anya Taylor-Joy, Natasha O’Keeffe, and Sophie Rundle
• Stephen Graham and James Frecheville

Production on the sixth season was delayed due to COVID-19-induced filming interruptions, noted ComicBook.com and Netflix Tudum. Additionally, the season addresses the absence of the late Helen McCrory, who played matriarch Polly Shelby and Polly Gray before passing away from cancer in 2021. Netflix Tudum and Deadline reported that the first episode of Season 6 is dedicated to McCrory. Cillian Murphy told Netflix Tudum, "The difficult thing to comprehend is that, if it wasn’t for Covid, there would be a whole other version of this show with Helen in it."

What did the creators say about the ending?

Creator Steven Knight marked the conclusion of the television series with a trailer statement: “One last deal to be done… Then we Peaky Blinders rest.” Knight told ComicBook.com, “I’m thrilled with how Peaky Blinders Season Six has been received here in the UK and now the whole world can see the climax of the saga, courtesy of Netflix. Expect the unexpected and enjoy the wild ride.”

Executive Producer Caryn Mandabach added, “Along with our wonderful, supportive partners at BBC and Netflix, we have been working diligently to ensure we can get Peaky safely back into production... Steve’s scripts are incredible and mark the end of an epic story that has entranced audiences [since] it first started in 2013, but the world of Peaky Blinders will most definitely live on.”

What happens next for the franchise?

While the television series concludes with Season 6, creator Steven Knight confirmed that the narrative will continue in other formats. Projects in development include a feature film continuation titled Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man slated for release on Netflix by March 2026, alongside a 1950s-set sequel series announced in June 2026 starring Jamie Bell and Charlie Heaton, according to Collider and Netflix Tudum.
