“Peaky Blinders,” Steven Knight’s period piece, is due to return for a final season. The BBC has published the first Peaky Blinders season 6 trailer of the gang reuniting.
Cillian Murphy stars as seasoned criminal Tommy Shelby, with Anya Taylor-Joy reprising her role as Gina Gray in an extended cameo in the commercial.
Last year, Knight talked to Variety about what fans may expect from the sixth season.
“What I’m doing with series six is continuing that struggle Tommy Shelby has in his opposition to fascism,” he said. “What I wanted to do is that when Tommy Shelby came back from WWI, he was emotionally dead. He was switched off because of his experiences and he was a nihilist, amoral, and would do anything. He had one goal which was to accumulate money, but when he encounters fascism, something is brought back to life and he decides it is good and bad.
And so that’s why he devotes his time to opposing it. And that continues in series six and many, many other things are gonna happen to Tommy that audiences will not be expecting. I think that the task of writing is more focused on each series. I’ve said this before, but I’ve always believed it’s true each time. And I believe it’s true this time: this is the best yet.”

Following the sixth season of “Blinders,” a companion film is likely to release. The sixth season will air in early 2022.
Knight is also presently in award talks for writing the Kristen Stewart picture “Spencer,” which is about Princess Diana.
