What is the title of the final Peaky Blinders TV episode?

The story behind the answer

The final Peaky Blinders TV episode is titled “Lock and Key.”

It is the sixth episode of series 6 and the 36th episode overall. Written by Steven Knight and directed by Anthony Byrne, it aired in the United Kingdom on 3 April 2022. The episode concludes the television story of Tommy Shelby and his family after six series of crime, politics, business, war trauma, and shifting loyalties.

The title reflects the episode’s emphasis on secrets, imprisonment, escape, and the possibility of a new life. Tommy’s apparent terminal diagnosis, his confrontation with Doctor Holford, and his final decision not to kill the doctor all shape the ending. His journey closes with him leaving behind the identity that has governed his life.

“Lock and Key” is sometimes confused with “The Road to Hell,” the penultimate episode, or “Black Day,” the opening episode of series 6. The later feature film continues the franchise, but it does not change “Lock and Key” being the final episode of the television series.
