On what date did Peaky Blinders series 6 first release?

Peaky Blinders series 6 first premiered on 27 February 2022.

The sixth series debuted on BBC One in the United Kingdom on that date, beginning the show’s final television season. It followed the fifth series, which had moved the programme from BBC Two to BBC One, and continued the story of Tommy Shelby and his family amid political intrigue, organised crime and the rise of fascism.

Series 6 was planned as the concluding television series after the production announced in January 2021 that the show would end on television after six series. The season consists of six episodes and concluded on 3 April 2022, so 27 February is the first-release date rather than the finale date.

The date can be confused with earlier proposed or unrelated release dates because production was delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic and the death of Helen McCrory, who played Polly Gray. McCrory’s death led to Polly’s absence being written into the story. The later Peaky Blinders film is a separate release and does not change the series-six premiere date.
