'Peaky Blinders' final season release date announced

And it's sooner than we expected!

It's about *fooking* time! The final season of popular drama Peaky Blinders will be released on BBC One on February 27. The publication confirmed the news with a statement. The sixth and last season of the famous drama was announced last year. 

The show follows the story of Tommy Shelby (Cillian Murphy) and his notorious family’s rise to power against the backdrop of working-class, post-WWI Birmingham. However, the ending itself is being kept under wraps with no beans being spilled.  

In a statement previously, creator and writer Steven Knight had said, “Peaky’ is back and with a bang. After the enforced production delay due to the pandemic, we find the family in extreme jeopardy and the stakes have never been higher. 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.”

However, executive producer Caryn Mandabach said, “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; the safety of our cast and crew is always our priority. Thank you to all the Peaky fans who have been so unwaveringly supportive and patient. 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.”
