Peaky Blinders will likely return for Season 6 in 2021. However, you might be surprised to learn that there weren't originally any. The show was supposed to end in series 5, but then it took the world by storm. The smooth Shelby family hairstyles have revolutionized the scalps of young men everywhere. Tommy, Arthur and company's thick regional accents remind everyone of the true value of subtitles. The show even, unbelievably, made flat tops great on people under 65. Of course, after an intense cliffhanger ending, things weren't going to end after five rounds. But apart from the confirmation that there will be a Peaky Blinders season 6 and the title of episode 1, there isn't much else going on for it. 39; instant. We know that pre-production has started and that scripts exist, but we're still waiting for a firm release date and more information on the story. Either way, watch out for serious spoilers for seasons 1-5 below, which you can watch on BBC iPlayer in the UK or on Netflix internationally. Here's everything we know so far about Peaky Blinders season 6.

The countdown begins. #PeakyBlinders Series 6 pre-production has started. Anthony Byrne pic.twitter.com/HGEk6FqWO927 January 2020 There's still no Peaky Blinders season 6 release date. We should consider ourselves lucky that it exists, though. In conversation with Digital Spy and others, creator Steven Knight revealed in August 2019 that the original plan did not go beyond Season 5. "Initially, we were going to end this series (season 5)," he said, "but I thought that there were a lot of people starting to do it now. It would be a real shame to stop." Director Anthony Byrne, of Ripper Street fame, and the first to direct multiple seasons of Peaky Blinders, told the BBC Sounds Obsessed With... Peaky Blinders podcast that "I have no idea when it will be released, possibly early of 2021 ". Based on typical seasonal differences, that sounds good, but it's far from a concrete date. Regardless of the release date, Netflix subscribers will probably have to wait a little over a month after Peaky Blinders season 6 premiered on the BBC, which is how season 5 launched.
Peaky Blinders season 6: what we know about the story and the cast
There is no trailer for Peaky Blinders season 6, but that's because filming has yet to begin. Byrne told GQ that filming should begin in early 2020, and we now know that pre-production began in late January."What can you tell me about series 6?" @Samclaflin and director Anthony Byrne join @Laurence_Moza for Obsessed With #PeakyBlinders, on BBC Sounds "I'm reading the scripts right now, which Steven is writing," he said in September 2019. "I start series six right at the beginning November. Then we start filming early next year, that's the plan." The first episode is called "Black Day." With the final conclusion of season 5 in mind, expect to see familiar faces unite the explosive ends of Sir Oswald Mosely's botched assassination of Tommy. Speaking of the Viscous Blackshirts founder, we know from the BBC Sounds pod that Sam Claflin will reprise the role of him. Little cast has been confirmed, but we will see the return of Cillian Murphy under the name Tommy, as well as the other usual Shelby suspects. While we left him pretty distraught in a field with a gun to his head at the end of Season 5, our money's on him alive to fight another day. His troubles also trigger the ethereal appearances of his deceased wife, Grace Shelby, so we'll probably see Annabelle Wallis as well. Less clear is whether Tom Hardy will reappear as Alfie Solomons after his miraculous Season 5 return after being hit in the head in Series 4.
