Finally, the crime thriller series, Peaky Blinders has been renewed for a sixth season. The show is one of my personal favorites and has gained extensive accolades for its writing, directing, and acting. The series contains five seasons up until today with six seasons each.
Peaky Blinders aired for the first four seasons on BBC Two and the fifth season aired on BBC One. The show is a British period drama that portrays the existentialist lifetime in the aftermath of the First World War. The fifth season aired in 2019 and since that time, has been renewed for a sixth time. The series can be found on Netflix too.
A fixed date for the release of season six hasn’t yet been declared. The production had begun but was soon brought to a halt as a result of the corona pandemic. Consequently, it will be a while before the shooting resumes, and also the launch date would be announced. Showrunner Steven Knight commented, ‘we’re doing [series] six, and we will probably do seven’. Well, that’s a certain relief!
The ensemble cast of Peaky Blinders is peculiar in each sense with their hard-hitting performances. The protagonists include Cillian Murphy as Thomas Shelby, Helen McCrory as Elizabeth Gray, Paul Anderson as Arthur Shelby Jr., and Anabelle Wallis as Grace Burgess. The recurring cast members who would make appearances are Sophie Rundle as Ada Thorne, Ned Dennehy as Charlie Strong, Benjamin Zephaniah as Jeremy Jesus, Finn Cole as Michael Gray, Tom Hardy as Alfred Solomons, Kate Phillips as Linda Shelby, and Aidan Gillen as Aberama Gold.
It seems that season six will follow the other seasons and consist of six episodes. The first episode is titled as’Black Day’ and will last in the cliff-hanger that year five left us with. Peaky Blinders follows the exploits of the Shelby family in the aftermath of the First World War.
Season five watched Tommy Shelby appearing to kill himself following his unsuccessful assassination attempt on Oswald Mosley, who’s returning for six. This demonstrates that season six is going to be thick and bold. But, there isn’t a trailer nonetheless as the creation has stopped midway. But we can expect something soon. Until then, stay safe!
