PEAKY BLINDERS Season 6 Promo Spot Features the Return of Tom Hardy's Alfie
A brief new promo spot has dropped for the sixth of Peaky Blinders, and it features the return of Tom Hardy’s character Alfie. This is definitely exciting for fans because Alfie is a fan-favorite character! It’s awesome to see that Hardy came back to reprise his role in the final season of the series.
The series follows the story of Tommy Shelby (Cillian Murphy) and his notorious family’s rise to power against the backdrop of working class, post-WWI Birmingham. Here’s the synopsis:
Britain is a mixture of despair and hedonism in 1919 in the aftermath of the Great War. Returning soldiers, newly minted revolutions and criminal gangs are fighting for survival in a nation rocked by economic upheaval. One of the most powerful gangs of the time is the Peaky Blinders, run by returning war hero Thomas Shelby and his family. But Thomas has bigger ambitions than just running the streets. When a crate of guns goes missing, he recognizes an opportunity to advance in the world because crime may pay but legitimate business pays better. Trying to rid Britain of its crime is Inspector Chester Campbell, who arrives from Belfast to try to achieve that goal.
When Season 6 was announced, creator Steven Knight teased, "Peaky is back and with a bang. After the enforced production delay due to the Covid pandemic, we find the family in extreme jeopardy and the stakes have never been higher. We believe this will be the best series of all and are sure that our amazing fans will love it. While the TV series will be coming to an end, the story will continue in another form.”
Peaky Blinders Season 6 was written by Knight, while Season 5 helmer Anthony Byrne returns to direct and Nick Goding will produce. It will likely air in early 2022 depending on how quickly production can complete filming.
