Which streaming service acquired Peaky Blinders rights for U.S. and worldwide release?

The story behind the answer

Netflix acquired the rights to release Peaky Blinders in the United States and around the world.

The BBC drama originally premiered on BBC Two in 2013, with its early British broadcast preceding Netflix’s international distribution. In September 2014, Netflix acquired exclusive U.S. distribution rights from the Weinstein Company and Endemol. The first series became available to stream in the United States on 30 September 2014, followed by later series as they were released.

This deal helped turn a British period crime drama into a worldwide hit. Netflix’s distribution made Tommy Shelby, the Birmingham gang and the show’s distinctive music widely accessible beyond the United Kingdom. The series later moved from BBC Two to BBC One for its fifth and sixth series, but Netflix remained its key international streaming home.

The other options are not the canonical answer for this question. Apple TV+, Amazon Prime Video and Hulu may carry various programmes or catalogue titles in different markets, but they did not acquire the Peaky Blinders U.S. and worldwide release rights described here.
