Americans will have to wait a little longer.

It may come as some surprise to American viewers to learn that Peaky Blinders season 6—the final season we’ve spent over two years and too many Thomas-Shelby-inspired lockdown haircuts to count, just, waiting for—has finally aired. Just not on American airwaves or streaming sites.

The final season of Peaky Blinders is currently airing weekly on the BBC and available on BBC iPlayer only to viewers living in the UK. So, unless you live overseas (or are savvy enough to download a VPN, though, we can’t actively encourage any such behavior), you’ll have to wait even longer to see how Thomas Shelby handles Oswald Mosley and all the other Nazis swarming Birmingham.

Season 5 ended with Shelby’s failed assassination plot on Mosley. He then walked into the fog toward an apparition of Grace, once again seeming to lose his mind. Season 6, we have learned, will begin exactly where the last one left off, here in this field.

Series writer and creator Steven Knight has long teased the final season. In 2019, back when he had planned to go seven seasons, he described the final season for Tommy. “[Season 7] will tell a different story, where Tommy Shelby—who begins as this nihilistic, looking-out only for his family person—will be redeemed, and he will become good,” Knight said.

Knight also said the show would end in 1939, almost twenty years after Shelby first rode through Birmingham to fix a horse race in season 1. He’ll be coming full circle, from one World War to the next.

Here’s when we’ll actually get to see it.

?When Will ‘Peaky Blinders’ Season 6 Be on Netflix

Netflix has not yet announced a date, but if tradition serves, Peaky Blinders Season 6 should hit Netflix in May (or even late April).

The previous season came to Netflix in October 2019, just under two weeks after it finished airing in the UK. The season 6 finale is scheduled for Sunday, April 3, in the UK. Look for the new season of Peaky to be ready to stream in early spring.
