Peaky Blinders

Peaky Blinders season 6 finale ending explained - the doors have closed with BBC's final episode for Tommy Shelby and the gang. Confused? Let us explain.

Lizzie officially reached the end of her tether after discovering Tommy had slept with Diana Mitford, and decided to leave him. In response, he signs over his work in Camden Town to the Blinders. Arthur was alongside Jeremiah and his crew, with Swing and her associates quickly outnumbered – even with a sniper helping them in the rafters. Only they were then ambushed, with Billy getting shot in the head and Finn leaving while vowing vengeance after Duke announces, by order of the Peaky Blinders, that he is no longer a Shelby. The movie now surely promises the return of Cillian Murphy and his flat cap for another outing. It turns out he was only upset about witnessing the horrific garrotte moment last episode because he found it "unfair", not because blood made him ill.

Warning, spoilers ahead for the final episode of Peaky Blinders season six.

You are no longer the kind of man who would kill another man in cold blood." Sick of who you were. The latest series has seen gangster-turned-MP Tommy's (played by Cillian Murphy ) health rapidly deteriorate.

The quote of the final episode - and perhaps of the series - which summed it up: "The only man that can kill Thomas Shelby is Thomas Shelby." Viewers mostly seemed to love the series finale. But it turns out that the doctor had been lying to Tommy and in fact, his diagnosis had all been a ruse.

Viewers of Peaky Blinders have been left stunned in the dramatic last-ever episode of the Birmingham-set gangster drama.

Speaking at a panel at the BFI in London, as reported by Variety, Steven revealed that filming for the movie will go into production in 2023. It goes without saying that viewers were blown away by the episode, with many taking to social media to express how ‘intense’ and ‘fantastic’ the show was, and their delight that Tommy survived. In the final moments, Tommy took his revenge on the lying doctor before riding his horse into the distance, while the gypsy caravan burned as if it were a funeral pyre.

Does Tommy Shelby meet his end in the last ever episode of 'Peaky Blinders'? We finally found out in the beautifully written 'Lock and Key'

Just one of the lives – remember he once lived a peaceful existence away and unknowing of the Shelbys – ruined by coming into contact with Tom. Still, at least he got to roll around with glamorous Gina (Anya Taylor-Joy) and sit smoking in pyjamas for a bit. The image of Arthur in Small Heath, mask on, striding through yellow plumes of mustard gas, back in France – at least in his mind – reviving Captain Swing just so he could cast judgement and then avenge Polly’s death, goes to the top of the pile as one of the series most iconic moments. Before the meat, the trimmings, and the aforementioned Shelby’s meeting with Alfie in Newfoundland – much like their pairing in the Camden cellar earlier in the season – was as delicious a union as Peaky Blinders has ever served up. Duke might be new to the fold, but he encapsulated more of the Shelby spirit in a few short scenes than the hapless Finn ever did. For months now, creator Steven Knight has been describing season six as not the beginning of the end, but the “end of the beginning”. Which makes the beautifully written feature-length end to the main series – with future films and character spin-offs planned – all the more worthy of acclaim. Well, the ostracisation of Finn (Harry Kirton) – easily the most noteworthy moment for the character since he joined us in season two – sets up a feud with Duke that will surely form the crux of that upcoming film.

Peaky Blinders viewers were left feeling very emotional after the explosive ending to the BBC gangster series…

As for what the film will focus on, Steven recently revealed that he plans to focus on an "untold" World War Two story. I'm blown away by the genius of this story from start to finish." He then finds a newspaper announcing the wedding of Lady Diana Mitford and Sir Oswald Mosley and sees Dr Holford pictured in attendance. Filled with twists and turns and several major deaths, it's fair to say the much-loved series went out with a bang. He soon realises that his doctor has deceived him and that he isn't suffering from tuberculoma at all. Viewers also watched as Arthur avenged the death of Polly by shooting her killer, IRA boss Captain Swing, and Duke Shelby killed Billy Grade.

After six seasons charting the rise of the Shelby gang, Peaky Blinders has finally ended with an epic feature-length episode.

"It feels very, very different to the rest of the season. This was a beautiful episode with such a poetic ending. One fan overcome with emotion added: “I thought I’d feel distraught and upset but I actually feel so at peace and content. Couldn’t have been a more perfect ending”. It feels like a film – it's a kind of dry run for the feature film," he said. It feels very, very different to anything we've done before.

The BBC drama's last ever episode was branded a 'masterpiece' by 'sobbing' viewers as it came to a spellbinding conclusion on Sunday night.

The final episode of Peaky Blinders has aired, and fans of the show have praised the emotional but "satisfying" ending. Thomas Shelby, who thought he was ...

While the episode means the end of Peaky Blinders , fans can look forward to the show's return in the form of a feature film and a potential spin-off series. Another pointed out that the show ended where if first began with Tommy riding into the show on black horse, Georgia said: "Back where is all began on a horse. One of the best TV shows made and out with a bang," while another added: "Wow Wow Wow. Just absolutely brilliant." Cillian Murphy created one of the greatest characters of all time with Tommy Shelby!" The post said: "Thanks for watching Peaky Blinders. Thank you to all the incredible fans who have been a part of the journey over the last ten years. And it's fair to say the much-loved series, which first aired in 2013, went out with a bang as the caravan is set on fire, and Tommy is seen through the flames riding off on a white horse.

Peaky Blinders concluded its sixth and final season on BBC One in the UK tonight. Read the recap, but beware spoiliers.

“I’m guessing that all you people decided that the only person who can kill Tommy Shelby is Tommy Shelby himself,” he tells Holford who pleads that Tommy has become a different man, one who could not kill another in cold blood. Back on Miquelon, Tommy and Michael are about to set off to where the opium is stored so that Tommy can collect the $5 million owed to him. Fast-forward one month, and Tommy is living in a caravan parked in a wide-open countryside. Ada is still unaware of Tommy’s diagnosis and is confounded about his plans to go away “for a bit.” When Michael jumps out of the car to retrieve his cigarettes from the bar, things don’t go according to his plan since the bomb has been switched to another car, leaving Tommy to emerge unscathed. By the time people know the truth, I will be gone.” Arthur is finally clean from opium, not having been able to even sit up for several of the season’s earlier episodes, and grabs onto his brother in a long embrace. Meanwhile, Tommy’s plane is landing on Miquelon as IRA operative Captain Swing (Charlene McKenna) and her group — who murdered Polly — are headed to the Garrison to take care of Arthur. No one else is aware of the diagnosis, until Arthur (Paul Anderson) discovers the x-rays and flaps them in Tommy’s face, “I know, brother, I know.” Tommy tells those assembled he has a job for them at family manse Arrow House including removing information about people that “has more value than gold,” bodies that need to be dug up and expensive French wines that should be drunk. Lizzie tells Tommy she is leaving him and declares, “You are cursed, Tommy… A curse never to be lifted.” And again, Michael swears, “I will take revenge on Tommy Shelby” whom he blames for Aunt Polly’s death at the end of Season 5. Throughout this season, we’ve been reminded of the words of Aunt Polly (the late Helen McCrory) who told Tommy in Season 5, “There will be a war.

The gangster saga bows out in a blaze of glory, giving all our fan favourites their moment in the sun … and leaving plenty of feuds for the future.

You’ve must live, daddy.” Relighting his campfire, Tommy spotted a picture of Mosley’s wedding in a charred newspaper – and a familiar face among the guests: physician Dr Holford (Aneurin Barnard), alongside the female colleague he’d recommended for a second opinion. He rode off into the sunset a free man – “back where we began: horses and caravans, vagabonds and thieves”. See you on the silver screen, Tom. Neither was there any comeuppance for fascist Boston boss Jack Nelson (James Frecheville) – although we can assume the Jewish mob will put paid to him. Mitford’s fiancé Oswald Mosley (Sam Claflin) interrupted in the nick of time, handing Tommy an invitation to the couple’s wedding in Berlin – at which the Führer himself would be in attendance. Tommy took himself off to die in a gypsy wagon, held a revolver to his head (again) – and had a magical vision of deceased daughter Ruby (Orla McDonagh) telling him: “You’re not even sick. Except Tommy had deduced that Billy Grade (Emmett J Scanlan) was the “black cat” traitor and that youngest brother Finn (Harry Kirton) was equally untrustworthy. Dear, dependable Curly (Ian Peck) proved his worth once more and got a Tommy cuddle of gratitude. Too many bad memories and a desire to burn down his ill-gotten gains meant Tommy wanted his country pile Arrow House emptied, razed to the ground and replaced by social housing. Charlie Strong (Ned Dennehy) acted as a decoy, luring Laura “Captain Swing” McKee (Charlene McKenna) and her soldiers into a trap. The final straw was sleeping with the enemy, Diana Mitford (Amber Anderson). Cue cheers from sofas as good ole Johnny Dogs (Packy Lee) popped up to tell Tommy: “I switched the ticker like you said, Tom.” Always one step ahead. Tommy flew (how new-fangled) to the smugglers’ haven of Miquelon Island to collect the $5m payment for his opium shipment.

Peaky Blinders has crescendoed to a captivating finale tonight, with the show's last ever episode coming to a dramatic and nail-biting end.

As Michael sat at the bar, mistakenly thinking his plan had worked, he could be heard saying: ‘Mum, it’s done. Later in the episode, Tommy was seen in a caravan with a gun when a vision of his late daughter appeared and informed him that he wasn’t actually unwell, revealing that the doctor who diagnosed him with tuberculoma had been lying. It’s over. Just before the credits rolled, Tommy took his anger out on the doctor in question, but was interrupted by the tolling of the clock, confirming that it was the time of armistice. Earlier in the season, Tommy was diagnosed with a terminal tuberculoma prognosis on the base of his brain from Dr Holford (Aneurin Barnard), after his daughter also died of tuberculosis – with the leader seen making arrangements for his family in the eventuality that he was to succumb to his illness. In light of his diagnosis, Tommy tied up loose ends regarding his family and business, while attempting to make sure that the remaining members of his clan would be made comfortable – previously setting his illegitimate son Erasmus ‘Duke’ Shelby up as his successor, with other son Charles handling the ‘light’ side of the business.

There might not be another season of Peaky Blinders but it's not the end for fans of the show. Warning: spoilers for season 6 episode 6 below.

As for the plot, not much has been given away other than it will be will set during the Second World War. Stephen told RadioTimes: "I know what's going to happen in those stories and it's about a sort of untold story that happened in the Second World War, which Peakys are going to be involved in." There is no official release date for the Peaky Blinders film at the moment. While there will not be another series of the popular Birmingham-based drama, Peaky Blinders is moving to the big screen. So I don't think this is the end of the story. I think it's probably just the end of the story in this form.

Because it's all out there, and there is a sort of consistency – what we're doing is finding really good actors from a working-class sort of background, and telling that story. He said: "I know exactly what's going to happen, I know what the story is and I'm writing at the moment." After a series of twists including Cillian Murphy's character being diagnosed with a terminal illness, shocking family revelations and more violence than you can shake a fist at, Peaky Blinders went out with a bang.

Peaky Blinders says goodbye without really saying goodbye in a minor-key finale that turns explosive, with a thrilling twist. Spoilers.

For six episodes, creator Steven Knight told us with every trick going that Tommy Shelby – god, man, ghost – was moving towards death, and then in a swerve worthy of Tommy himself, instead gave the character a new lease on life. Ghost-Ruby appeared in a vision to stop Tommy from pulling that trigger and to direct him towards the evidence that Dr Holford was a Mosley plant all along. He’d bribed the French barman and smuggler in episode one, made the deal to sell his opium to Alfie back in episode two, learned from Gina that Michael was out for his blood in episode four, and fed Grade the false info in this finale. The British Union of Fascists was banned, and the pair never achieved the power once thought inevitable. Despite her swagger being showcased earlier in the season, Sophie Rundle’s Ada sadly didn’t get much of a look-in, but Paul Anderson and Cillian Murphy killed it in their scenes as Arthur and Tommy. This whole season has been a horror show in a minor key, and their performances have shown utter commitment to telling this story with real humanity. It was all a scheme to hasten Tommy’s inevitable suicide and clear him away in time for the new world order. The second had unpredictability and artily unsettling images, from the vulnerable child who’d wandered into the middle of the shoot-out to the otherworldly sight of Arthur and co. Then a plot by his enemies presented him with a rare opportunity to ride for the hills and leave it all behind. Duke’s transformation from a nature-lover to a general in the Peaky Blinders army was similarly underexplored. That house once represented his naïve attempt to join the aristocracy; blowing it up reconnected Tommy with his Communist youth and Romany heritage, as well as fulfilling Lizzie’s wish from the last episode. The first had sustained tension from the moment the bag containing the explosive appeared on screen to the moment of detonation. He escaped it all – the fascists and the fake diagnosis and his family and himself.

It's done, but damn… what a legacy it's left behind. Created by Steven Knight, Peaky Blinders has cemented itself as one of the most cherished crime dramas ...

I don’t want to be doing Peaky until my mid-to-late 20s, just because I reckon in the future that would be a hindrance for me.” With all due respect, I can’t wait to move on.” Said information was relayed to Captain Swing and the IRA.

Peaky Blinders season 6 finale - Tommy Shelby's son, Duke, played by Conrad Khan has addressed his future in the Peaky Blinders movie and franchise.

"I think in terms of his character, he's quite happy in his solitude. Maybe a couple of scenes with him. Maybe a relationship with him." "I think he wants to remain anonymous because he doesn't want to be a part of that. I think he's quite happy with that. because, Duke's explained to him that he doesn't want to do that.

Will there be a Peaky Blinders season 7? With season 6 ending, we've got everything you need to know about the future of the hit BBC drama.

He said: “We’ve talked to Cillian Murphy and he’s all for it, and the rest of the principal cast are in for it.” The final shot of the episode saw Tommy riding away from his burning funeral trailer, which was set on fire by Curly, who believed Tommy to be dead. The final episode was a whopping 81 minutes long, much to the delight of Peaky fans. Tommy said goodbye to his family and handed over everything to Ada. But then, while standing in a traditional gypsy funeral trailer preparing to shoot himself, the ghost of his dead daughter, Ruby, appeared. He said: “There’s so many people, so many great actors, that we are already in conversation with for the film. We also know that Steven hopes to ‘redeem’ Cillian Murphy’s character, Tommy Shelby, by the end of the story. The first episode of the season aired on BBC One on 27 February 2022, with the much anticipated finale airing on 3 April 2022. However, Steven Knight has revealed that the Peaky Blinders film will be set during the Second World War. He told Metro.co.uk in February: “I know exactly what’s going to happen. When anything happened in the rest of the series [6], I wanted people to think, ‘What would Polly say?’ It’s like a family when someone passes away, their opinion remains in the house. He said: “The original intention was to do seven series, but COVID has stolen a year from us. But in 2021, he explained how this had changed due mainly to the pandemic – but also the death of Helen McCrory, who played Polly Gray in the series. So with the potential for more action from the Shelby clan, the question many viewers are asking now is; will there be a Peaky Blinders season 7?

Knight picked a classic season 2 moment as his favourite from the long-running series. Which is yours? Peaky Blinders' Cillian Murphy as Tommy Shelby.

"And so I had to think of a way of getting him out. For more from the biggest stars in TV, listen to the Radio Times podcast with Jane Garvey. "I hadn't got to that point knowing he was going to escape.

Steven Knight's Brummie gangster saga has been cemented as one of the greatest British TV shows ever made.

For viewers, it looked as though the writing was on the wall for the Blinders, but after six series of the gang winning, we should have known better than to doubt them. When it came down to it, Polly’s forewarning of a war and death played one last time, before Tommy shot Michael straight through the eye. The rest of the episode played out like a who’s who of the Peaky Blinders world.

Lisa O'Neill sings her version of Bob Dylan's, All the Tired Horses at the end of the final episode of the final series, of Peaky Blinders.

Over the years Lisa O’Neill has quietly built a reputation for herself on the Irish and international scenes and now has a growing following with her unique folk sound, strong song-writing and distinctive voice. This all contributed to the energy and the charge of the final track. It’s a rich & rare reward indeed, for a singer, and a song writer, when you get to sing a song by one of your own heroes, at the end of the final episode of the, currently, most-watched television series, in the world – Lisa O’Neill – from Ballyhaise, County Cavan, Ireland, has done just that when last night at approx.

This all contributed to the energy and the charge of the final track. We recorded this version of 'All the tired horses' in an old horse stables in Cabinteely, South Dublin over the space of two days. The final season closed last night - April 3rd - marked by excellent acting, and Peaky Blinders' traditional use of an exquisite score to highlight emotional tension.

It might tell us a lot about where the film is heading.

So really, that whisper is more likely to be a fracture point for Duke and Charles' relationship in the future. Now, he can see that his role in the family biz is being wrenched away from him by some upstart who was living in the woods somewhere in rural Warwickshire until about five minutes ago. Since he shot Billy Grade and chased young Finn back to his completely mute but apparently difficult wife Mary, Duke's gone through a full 180. He claps a hand on Duke's shoulder and says quite a lot to him. A couple of episodes when we first met him, he didn't even believe Tommy was his dad. Obviously this isn't verbatim, but a couple of things point us toward some conclusions.

Around 3.3 million people tuned in to watch cult crime drama Peaky Blinders come to a violent finale in a special extended episode.

“Peaky – in this incarnation – comes to an end, but we’re doing a film which will also carry on the family and the stories into the Second World War. Creator Steven Knight, who also developed the hit quiz show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, has said he plans to continue the story in a film version and is also working on a dance show inspired by it. South London-based Rambert dance company are working on the stage production which is set to have almost a month-long run in London later this year.

Peaky Blinders ended (for now) with a twist-filled finale. With major spoilers, we break down how it leaves things for the follow-up feature film.

After making the financial arrangements to look after his family, dynamiting his house and holding a farewell banquet in the woods, Tommy went on the road alone in a wagon to prepare for death. In the photograph and on the guest list? After Tommy raised his toast to the family and choked up telling Charles to look after Lizzie and that he wanted him to be “the best…”, he whispered something in Duke’s (newly exposed thanks to his Peaky Blinders haircut) ear. Arthur knew about the diagnosis and Tommy instructed him that when it was time, he would give Arthur the wagon’s location so that he, Charlie and Curly could burn his body and “rake through the ashes for silver and gold.” Arthur and co. He took off his wedding ring and pocket watch and left them in the wagon with photographs of Grace, Polly, John, Ruby and Lizzie and Charles, before loading a gun with a bullet engraved with his name and holding it to his head. Duke then shot Billy Grade in the head and told Finn he was no longer a member of this Shelby family, by order of the Peaky fucking Blinders. Finn left, swearing revenge on Duke, which is sure to come up in the forthcoming Peaky Blinders feature film. Mosley, Holford, and fellow fascist Dr Helen Rutherford conspired to convince Tommy that he was dying of an incurable disease, as a way to push him towards taking his own life. A Caryn Mandabach production that airs on the BBC and Netflix, it’s not yet confirmed where the film will debut, but it’s likely to have a multi-platform release, with a limited cinema run plus a BBC One/BBC iPlayer and Netflix airing. That was a brand new character for the finale named ‘Lazarus’ – an apt biblical name relating to returning from the dead. After Jack Nelson violently forced Billy Grade into becoming an informant for his operation, somehow Tommy found out (possibly because Billy was passing information to Gina Gray, whom Tommy had surveilled and was blackmailing over her adultery with Oswald Mosley). Tommy called a meeting at the Garrison in order to feed Billy false information to lure the IRA into a trap. At Arrow House, Duke and Isaiah lured Billy and Finn into the kitchen where they told Finn to shoot Billy for being a traitor on pain of being exiled from the family. Tommy believed he was travelling to his death, but had a surprise on the way.

In Peaky Blinders season 6, Tommy Shelby was haunted by The Grey Man and Man With Green Eyes. The finale final seconds subtly unmasked the truth of who it ...

Recruited by the fascist party led by Oswald Mosley (Sam Claflin), Dr Holford was instructed to give Tommy the diagnosis. We had only seen Dr Holford a small amount of times, due to his work at the hospital. It was the easily-dismissed Dr Holford, who had given Tommy the deadly diagnosis.
