End for the Shelby clan: Peaky Blinders' sixth and final season to air in June

While Season 6 will be the show's final installment, a film adaptation of the series is in the works.

The sixth and final season of the award-winning crime drama, Peaky Blinders will air on Netflix on June 10. From hairstyles to fashion, Peaky Blinders, with the help of its star Cillian Murphy, who plays gang leader Thomas Shelby, has been a cultural phenomenon since it first aired on BBC Two in 2013.

“Now, a few BAFTA Awards later, Peaky Blinders and its grim exploration of British crime and politics — and the habitual marriage of the two — between the two world wars is coming to an end, and it feels a bit like the end of an era,” reads a statement on Netflix’s official website.

While Season 6 is all set to be the final installment of the hit series, a film adaptation is in the works, as per Variety. It is set to go into production in 2023.

The latest season of the show will air without one crucial character, however: Aunt Polly, who was played by Helen McRory. McRory tragically died of cancer last April. “I think this is the culmination of the series that hopefully improves upon the last season and makes the most recent one the richest and deepest one that we possibly can, partially because of all of the pandemic shit happening in the world and, of course, the really sad loss of [Helen] McCrory,” Murphy, who also co-produced Seasons 5 and 6, told Variety.

He added, “I think we are determined to make this a special series and we have been extra committed to working hard. I think the fans will be pleased!”
