𝗣𝗲𝗮𝗸𝘆 𝗕𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗙𝗲𝗯𝗿𝘂𝗮𝗿𝘆. The long-awaited return date for the latest series of Peaky Blinders has been revealed in style on a mural in Digbeth, Birmingham. Series six of Peaky Blinders will air on February 27, by order of the Peaky Blinders. The mural has touches from artist Akse P19, who has painted a portrait of actor Cillian Murphy, as Peaky Blinders crime boss Tommy Shelby, in the historic Deritend neighborhood of Birmingham, ahead of the final series of the hit BBC One crime-drama show. Peaky Blinders, set in Birmingham, England, follows Tommy Shelby (Cillian Murphy) and his infamous gangster family's crimes right after World War I. The series, written and formed by Steven Knight, first aired on BBC Two in 2013. The sixth season will see Shelby continue his war against politician Oswald Mosley (played by Sam Claflin) as he tries for the titular clan to rest. Fans will surely be missing 'Aunt' Polly Gray, who passed away back in April 2021 due to cancer. However, other castings will remain the same. A red carpet screening of the first episode of Peaky Blinders' final series will be held on February 24 at Cineworld on Broad Street in Birmingham. Creator and writer Steven Knight have earlier announced that the sixth season will be the series' last but teases that it will "continue in another form. In addition, there have been rumors that he plans for a stage show and film. "[𝘗𝘦𝘢𝘬𝘺 𝘉𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴] 𝘪𝘴 𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘢 𝘣𝘢𝘯𝘨. 𝘈𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘯𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘤𝘦𝘥 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘥𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘺 𝘥𝘶𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘊𝘖𝘝𝘐𝘋-19 𝘱𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘮𝘪𝘤, 𝘸𝘦 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘺 𝘪𝘯 𝘦𝘹𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘦 𝘫𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘺, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘴 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘩𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘦𝘳," he said. The season will run for six episodes on BBC One. Netflix airs the series outside the United Kingdom, but a release date on the streaming platform has yet to be announced. The Shelbys are back in business; get your popcorn ready, lads! #studentJournalist
