Peaky Blinders over or is it?

The 6th season of the Peaky Blinders just dropped last week on Netflix. Originally it aired on February 27, 2022 on BBC One and the last episode was aired on April 3, 2022. But Netflix users had to wait almost two months to stream the whole season, as a major chunk of viewers of the show are on the streaming site. The final season saw Tommy (Cillian Murphy) trying to get free from all the politics, schemes and the gangster life but the more he tries to escape the more he is forced to strike back.

As many believed that this season would be the last, it was expected that after all that he went through Tommy would kill himself or be killed by either Oswald Mosley or his own cousin Michael Gray. Because Helen McCroy (Polly) died last year, the makers had to kill off her character as she died before the shooting began, this gave an angle of Michael holding Tommy responsible for his mother’s death due to his plan of executing Mosley. But against all odds, Mr.Shelby came out winning but not without suffering as he was cursed by a Gypsy tribe which resulted in the death of his daughter Ruby.

Taking place after 4 years of the last season’s finale, this season also introduced his long lost son, Duke who is the eldest of his children. This was an unexpected twist for the audience. Another interesting development we saw in the first episode is that Tommy Shelby had given up drinking completely and had stayed sober for the last 4 years because he wanted to have a clear head and stay in control.

A conspiracy is planned in which he’s made to believe he’s dying makes Tommy take some tough decisions, but it is revealed that his doctor was paid by Mosley to fake his diagnosis so he would kill himself instead of being a burden on his family. Because even he knew, only Thomas Shelby can kill Thomas Shelby. But he spares the doctor as he wanted to change his ways, now with the ending people are wondering is there another season or not.

It has been confirmed that the crime saga will continue, as a Peaky Blinders movie is in the planning stages with Cillian Murphy returning as the mafia boss.

This news have been positively received by fans all over the world, as they will get to see their favorite gangster family on the big screen. But we will have to wait and see what the Peaky Blinders have in store for us next!
