The Final Season of 'Peaky Blinders' Will Arrive on Netflix in June
The final season of popular period gangland drama Peaky Blinders is currently airing in the U.K., and American fans were preparing themselves to wait for several months to find out how the story of the Shelby clan (at least in this particular incarnation) would come to an end. After all, previous seasons took several months to cross the pond from the BBC to America following the end of their runs. But it appears the powers that be have taken pity on U.S. fans because the end of the Peaky Blinders era will be here sooner than any of us ever expected.
According to Netflix, all six episodes of Season 6 will arrive on the streamer on June 10. This is all sorts of exciting because in years past American viewers have had to wait until well into the Fall for the series to hit our shores.
The Cillian Murphy-led drama is set in Birmingham in the aftermath of World War I and follows the exploits of Tommy Shelby and his family, leaders of the infamous gang known as the Peaky Blinders. (Though the Shelbys are fictional, the gang they are a part of did exist during the 1890s, even if the real group never gained nearly as much power or influence as Tommy and his brothers boast.) Over the course of the series, we've seen the family fortunes rise and fall as they've battled external threats and internal betrayals.
