If you finished the first five seasons Netflix, you may want to know how to watch Peaky Blinders in the US online for free, so you don’t have to wait a full year until the next season.
Peaky Blinders, which premiered on BBC in 2019, is a British period crime drama that follows the Peaky Blinders, a crime gang from Birmingham, England, led by Thomas “Tommy” Shelby (Cillian Murphy) that was formed in the aftermath of World War 1. The group is based on a real gang of the same name that was active in Birmingham from the 1890s to the 1910s. In January 2021, BBC announced that Peaky Blinders season 6, which premiered in February 2022, would be the show’s last. Though Peaky Blinders ended in 2022, creator Steven Knight confirmed to Entertainment Weekly that there is a movie planned for the show to officially conclude the series. “I’m calling this the end of the beginning,” Knight said. “We’re going to end the series as it is at the moment, but we’re going to do the movie, which we’ll shoot in 18 months time, maybe a little bit longer.” He continued, “After that, according to how the film structure falls into place, we’ll set in motion some spin-offs that will be part of the same universe.”

In an interview with The Guardian in 2022, Cillian Murphy, who’s played Tommy Shelby since season 1 of Peaky Blinders, opened up about the end of the series. “It feels like the end of something,” he said. “It’s strange talking about it. I don’t have a grasp on it yet. Maybe when it’s done I’ll have some perspective.” He continued, “It’s the end of 10 years of my life; a big adventure with lots of colleagues and people that you became very close to.”
Murphy also told The Guardian about the experience of playing Tommy, which he called “exhausting.” “I do all the work before I arrive on set,” he said. “But that method thing doesn’t really make sense to me. It’s about a series of little decisions and processes, which hopefully add up to the performance you want.” Murphy also opened up about what it was like to lose Helen McCrory, who played Tommy’s aunt Polly from seasons 1 to 5 and died from cancer at the age of 52 in 2021. “Her death was unbelievably sad and difficult,” Murphy said. “But I’m always careful when I talk about it. I’m a friend and a colleague, but then you think about Damian [Lewis, McCrory’s husband] and their kids. I don’t own that grief, you know? But she was a remarkable human being and a remarkable actor. It was very hard to make it without her.”
Murphy also acknowledged the two-year break between season 5 and 6 of Peaky Blinders to Variety, and how fans will be “pleased” by the final season despite the long wait. “There’s always been a sort of long pause because, well, we do the show and then we all go off and do other jobs — we aren’t tied to the show the whole time,” he said. “There’s always been a long-enough gap between each series since we initially started shooting this in, what, 2012? And now it is 2022, so when it comes to the math, that’s six seasons in 10 years. So, it’s been a long time! What can they expect?”
He continued, “I think this is the culmination of the series that hopefully improves upon the last season and makes the most recent one the richest and deepest one that we possibly can, partially because of all of the pandemic shit happening in the world and, of course, the really sad loss of [Helen] McCrory. I think we are determined to make this a special series and we have been extra committed to working hard. I think the fans will be pleased!”
Peaky Blinders season 6 is available to stream on BBC.co.uk with a VPN. Here’s how to watch it for free.
