Everything to Know About Peaky Blinders Season 6

Netflix’s and BBC’s co-production Peaky Blinders has five seasons under its belt with a sixth on the way. Production was stalled but it looks like it will get back on track later in 2020.

Here’s everything we know so far about Peaky Blinders season 6.

The British import is one of Netflix’s best international dramas to date. Set in the 1920s, it follows a gangster family back in Birmingham, England. The series first airs on the BBC network but Netflix stands as its international distributor.

Season 5, which landed on Netflix US on October 4, 2019, released on Netflix UK on April 22.

What will happen in season 6 of Peaky Blinders?

Season 5 saw “the Shelbys grapple with the 1929 stock market crash whileTommy confronted new threats to his power from younger family members and fascist rivals.”

Season 5 left us with a huge cliffhanger after its tempestuous events.

Tommy ended the season screaming at his dead wife with a gun pointed to his head before it cuts to black. Will Tommy end up killing himself? His PTSD was clearly taking hold.

We should also find out who ultimately betrayed Tommy but according to the podcast series, Obsessed with Peaky Blinders, we should already be able to work out who it was. Let us know who you think it is in the comments below.

Beyond that, we might find out more about Peaky Blinder’s expansion into the United States, events of WW2 and why Oswald Mosley is becoming more prominent.

When will season 6 be on Netflix?

Filming was originally scheduled to take place for season 6 of Peaky Blinders from February 2020 as per ProductionWeekly.

However, the pandemic hit just as Peaky Blinders was gearing up to start shooting.

We were so close to the start of filming Season 6. Months of hard work by our very talented, dedicated and hardworking crew. Sets were built, costumes were made. Cameras and lenses tested. Locations were booked. All the prep was done. It’s a real shame not to be able to make it for you at this time. But I personally want to thank the crew that I’ve spent months working with and I want to send my love and support to them and everyone else. We are in this together. . . These are extraordinary times and we must be extraordinary in them. . . Remember who we all are as a people and look out for those around you who will find these times challenging. Dig deep. It will pass. . . Read that book that’s been staring at you for years. Write a poem, script, novel. Listen to music. Watch movies. Be creative. Make art. Share. Find the positive in all of this and use it. We will be better for it in the long run. Stay safe and healthy. Support the amazing people who are keeping the @nhsmillion going. Look after those around you and reach out to people. .

It has been understood that filming will take place once again in Liverpool and Scotland but not before the end of November. An estimate of five months of shooting will be required for season 6. 

Though we don’t know the release date yet, with a November 2020 start date, Q4 2021/Q1 2022 would be a logical estimate.
