After leaving Tommy in a foggy field holding a gun to his own following the failed assassination of the fascist political leader Sir Oswald Mosley, we find the Birmingham mobster seeking redemption and looking for new opportunities abroad in post-prohibition America. His enemies may have other ideas, though.
Power-hungry Michael (Finn Cole) and his wife Gina Gray (Anya Taylor-Joy) could pose a threat after their plan to oust Tommy saw them exiled from the Shelby family. Alfie Solomons (a scene-stealing Tom Hardy) is back – though as friend or foe we don’t yet know.
Sadly, actress Helen McCrory playing the role of the indelible Aunt Polly, passed away in April 2021. Yet show creator Steven Knight is adamant this season is the best yet: a fitting, all guns blazing finale featuring an incredible cast.

Peaky Blinders season 6 trailer
Is Tom Hardy in Peaky Blinders season 6?
For a lot of fans of the show, the big question will be whether they will see Tom Hardy return as the infamous Alfie Solomons. Luckily, teaser trailers have officially confirmed the actor will make a return to the show.
However, there is no confirmation as to how much he will appear in this latest season or necessarily what his story line will be for season 6.
Peaky Blinders recap
It's been a little while since the last season aired so if you're feeling rusty on the plot, we're here to help with a quick recap on the Shelby family, friends and many enemies!
It goes without saying that if you haven't yet finished season five, there will be spoilers ahead. So, for those who have followed the show all of this time, you'll know there has been a lot of changes recently.
Most importantly, season five saw both the family's return to illegal business (thanks to the market crash) and, Thomas entering the world of politics.
Most of the season 5 revolves around the Shelby family and their battle with a Fascist political party and a mobster family from Scotland. Where most of the previous seasons of Peaky Blinders ends with the family winning, this season ends with a loss as their big assassination of a fascist leader plan gets spoiled.
Season five ended with Thomas with a gun to his head but luckily, and unsurprisingly, the now released trailers for season six shows Tommy well and truly alive... but still pretty miserable.
