When Will ‘Peaky Blinders’ Season 6 Air On Netflix?

British fans of Peaky Blinders will get to see Season 6 shortly after filming wrapped over summer 2021. However, the popular series has fans all over the world, who are wondering when the sixth season will drop on Netflix. For a rough idea, it broadly looks like 2022 is likely to see the series in most locations. However, read on to find out what we know so far.

BBC and Netflix series Peaky Blinders

Peaky Blinders continues to be one of the UK’s best exports and the drama continues to get new fans along the way. The show is set in the 1920s shortly after the end of World War One. Meanwhile, the story features a gangster family living in Birmingham, England.

Each season first airs on the BBC, but at some later stage, Netflix takes up the latest season as the international distributor for the show. Season 5 debuted on Netflix in the US on October 4, 2019, and was then released on the streamer in the UK on April 22, 2020. So when can Netflix viewers expect to binge Season 6 of Peaky Blinders? That is the big question right now.

What can we expect from Season 6?

Season 5 of Peaky Blinders consisted of six episodes and sees the Shelby family grappling with the 1929 stock market crash. Meanwhile, Tommy confronts new threats to his power from younger family members and fascist rivals alike.

The season closed with a major cliffhanger following the tempestuous events during the season. Tommy was seen screaming at his dead wife, while he has a gun pointed at his head. That scene cut to black, leading to fans frustrated, wanting to know more. Does this mean Tommy will kill himself? In Season 6 we will likely find out who ultimately betrayed Tommy.

Filming of Season 6 of Peaky Blinders

Regrettably, filming of the sixth season of Peaky Blinders was delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic. In fact, filming of the season was about to start when the pandemic hit. Production finally resumed in November 2020 and lasted a number of months before editing concluded in November 2021.

When will Season 6 drop on Netflix?

As with previous seasons, Season 6 of Peaky Blinders will debut on the streamer shortly after the series airs on the BBC in the UK. Looking back at Season 5, that season dropped on October 4, 2019, roughly three weeks after the UK air date.

Episodes of the sixth season finally started airing on February 27, 2022. Judging by its latest rate, the BBC should have aired the finale on May 4, 2022. This means that if it heads to Netflix as it did before, Season 6 should be available on Netflix internationally in late May 2022.

Will there be a Season 7 of Peaky Blinders?

In 2018, the showrunner told the Birmingham Press Hub that they would “probably do seven,” meaning Season 7. However, regrettably, it has since been announced that Season 6 will be the last season of Peaky Blinders.

However, according to What’s on Netflix, a movie is being planned to tie up the story. This is set to film in 2023.
