Peaky Blinders season 6 came to a close with a vengeance. Tommy tied several loose ends in the season 6 finale of the BBC drama, including those of Michael (Finn Cole) and “black cat” Billy Grade (Emmett J. Scanlan). Still, Tommy Shelby (Cillian Murphy) and Shelby Company Limited will not be forgotten – here’s what we know so far about the show’s upcoming seventh season.
Tommy’s tuberculosis diagnosis, on the other hand, was found to be a hoax orchestrated by fascist Oswald Mosley (Sam Claflin) and Dr. Holford (Aneurin Barnard). While fans were expecting Tommy Shelby to meet a horrible end, it’s now safe to state that Tommy has yet to attempt to “transform the world” if Peaky Blinders will continue in the future.
Tommy makes a triumphant return in the Peaky Blinders season 6 finale as the criminal mastermind who is always one step ahead of his adversaries. Duke (Conrad Khan), his illegitimate son, is welcomed into the Shelby family as a true Peaky Blinder when Shelby assigns him and Isiah (Jordan Bolger) the task of assassinating traitor Billy Grade and expelling Finn (Harry Kirton) from the Shelby household (it is finally revealed why Finn has been absent from the show for so long: the Shelbys didn’t trust him).
The brothers’ plot to assassinate Arthur (Paul Anderson) results in an epic stand-off between Arthur, Charlie (Ned Dennehy), and Jeremiah (Benjamin Zephaniah) against Laura McKee (Charlene McKenna) and her IRA band, which results in Arthur finally getting his revenge for Polly’s death (as well as the death of Laura McKee’s daughter).
Finally, Tommy travels to Canada with Johnny Dogs (Packy Lee). He foils his assassination by shifting the explosives to a different automobile and fatally shooting Michael, who was about to be killed.
Everything Tommy has done in the final episodes of season 6 has been directed by the knowledge that he is about to die. Tommy closes up his business at the end of the season 6 finale, transfers his role to Sophie Rundle’s Ada (as had been established since the first episode of Peaky Blinders), and then retreats into the forest his horses die.
However, a flash of insight prompts Tommy to communicate with his daughter’s spirit: Ruby directs Tommy to the fireplace, where he finds Dr. Holford with Mosley and Mitford (played by Amber Anderson) at the couple’s wedding reception. Tommy is no longer facing an unassailable death sentence.
He saves the frantic doctor (who has been revived by his newfound chance at life), and although his wagon is on fire, he abandons it and rides away on his horse, leaving a slew of directions for Peaky Blinders to pursue in the aftermath of season 6.
Peaky Blinders’ Seventh Season Has Been Abandoned
According to the show’s director, Steven Knight, there will not be the seventh season of Peaky Blinders. According to Knight (via Radio Times), the main reason is the COVID-19 pandemic: “The initial aim was to do seven seasons, but COVID has stolen a year from us, and we decided what would be a brilliant idea is to, practically in substitute of that seventh series, is to go onto the big screen.

“We just felt, also with the loss of Helen, that it all seemed to lean towards accomplishing what I’m calling the end of the beginning,” says Peaky Blinders star Helen McCrory of the decision to scrap season 7.
Are Our Peaky Blinders Based on Actual Events?
Although Peaky Blinders is a fictional plot set in Birmingham’s underworld, the television series is based on the very actual existence of a gang by the same name that operated in the Midlands during the late nineteenth century.
A Movie Based on Peaky Blinders Is In-Store
Peaky Blinders will not return for the seventh season, but Steven Knight has announced that a feature-length film will be released to wrap up the show. According to Knight (via Radio Times), the film will occur during World War II. It’s about an unknown story from the Second World War that Peakys will be involved in, and I know what will happen in those stories.”
After World War I, Peaky Blinders begins as the main characters repeatedly return to their traumatic period in the tunnels (primarily through their dark line “in the bleak midwinter”). To end the story with a World War is only natural.

Peaky Blinders Season 6 Ending Teases More
With the help of Diana Mitford, Oswald Mosley, Jack Nelson (James Frecheville), Franklin Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, and President Roosevelt, Tommy attempted to consummate his most hazardous deal yet. With his vow that he’d “transform the world,” Tommy had to deal with the consequences of his rise in social status:
He slept with his opponent (literally, Diana Mitford sold it as “the English aristocracy’s manner of shaking hands”) and pushed Lizzie to leave him. Even though Tommy has eliminated many of his threats, he still has many foes that pose a severe danger beyond season 6.
Tommy was rescued from his premature death diagnosis and his post as Peaky Blinders leader at the end of season 6. But Jack Nelson knows he failed to kill both Shelby brothers, and Gina (Anya Taylor-Joy) will soon learn her husband was murdered by “the devil,” Tommy Shelby.
Finn has also threatened Tommy Shelby by promising Duke he would come after him. Finally, and maybe most importantly, Tommy spent much of season 6 reporting to Churchill about his fascist contacts to prevent Mosley from gaining power in Britain.
Season 6 didn’t end this dilemma, but it did finish with a triumph for Mosley (his wedding in the presence of Adolf Hitler). Tommy will have to face his fierce foes one more time in the Peaky Blinders movie, in which Tom Holland has been invited to star in.
Release Date For Peaky Blinders
Steven Knight unveiled the Peaky Blinders movie plans in January 2021, but production is expected to start in early 2023. Considering this, the film’s release date appears to be early 2024. On top of that, Cillian Murphy and Paul Anderson will be returning.
Conrad Khan, Sophie Rundle, and Harry Kirton have teased their appearances (considering his increase in responsibility during the season 6 finale and his unfinished business with Finn). The Peaky Blinders ending left a lot of avenues open for Tommy Shelby. The movie’s ending is still unknown, as is Tommy’s fate.
