From jaw-dropping plot twists to heartwarming romance, this series has got it all! It has had five successful seasons till now and a sixth one is currently in production. Fans are particularly excited about this upcoming season as the last one ended on a major cliffhanger. When will this new season premiere? Has filming for it begun as of yet? Keep on reading to find out the latest information about Peaky Blinders Season 6.
Peaky Blinders Season 6 Release Date
The latest season, i.e Season 5, of Peaky Blinders, premiered in 2019. As soon as it was released, the producers announced the renewal of the series for another season which will also be the last one. Filming for it began in 2020 but due to the pandemic, it shut off almost as quickly as it started! Hence, the initial 2021 release date had to be pushed back.
Filming for Season 6 began again in January 2021 and hasn’t stopped since then. In fact, it is complete now and we are expecting to see season 6 quite soon. However, the official release date has not been announced.
Fans will have to wait until September 2021 to know the exact release date of their favorite crime drama series. Although we can’t say for sure, we think it will be somewhere between fall and winter 2022. This is in accordance with the past seasons all of which have been released during the latter part of the year.
Despite Season 6 being the last one in the series, fans shouldn’t lose hope as they’ll get to see the famous Shelby family return. Instead of another season, the producers are thinking of something else. Creator Steven Knight recently told fans, “ We believe this will be the best series of all and are sure that our amazing fans will love it. While the TV series will be coming to an end, the story will continue in another form.”

Additionally, a new female character will also be introduced in season 6. This has been confirmed by Director Anthony Byrne who stated, “There’s a great female character who is new, who is pretty dark. I haven’t seen a character like her in Peaky before. I won’t say who she is but she certainly gives Tommy a run for his money. She challenges him differently basically. She’s certainly not a protagonist and I don’t know if she’s an antagonist.”
Plot
Season 5 ended on a major cliffhanger with Thomas holding a gun to his head. He did this after one of his friends betrayed him which led to Mosley surviving the attempted assassination. Season 6 will pick the story up from here and we will find out which one of Thomas’ loved ones betrayed him. Additionally, just like all other seasons, season 6 too will deal with Thomas trying to end fascism.
Since Mosley survived the attempt at his life, Thomas will try once again. After all, he can’t just let a fascist politician win! How will he bring down Oswald Mosley? Will he try to kill him again or bring his real face in front of the people?
