'Peaky Blinders' has concluded its run on Netflix, having debuted Season 6 on the streamer. A movie is in the works and coming next.

All of it, from the spooky Nick Cave theme song to the stylish fashions to the career-best performance from Cillian Murphy as head gangster Tommy Shelby combined to actually make Season 6 one of the best seasons of TV you’ll come across in 2022.
Separate from that, Tommy sets out for North America to take advantage of business opportunities that present themselves thanks to the end of Prohibition. Along the way, Tommy also gets enmeshed with IRA freedom fighters. Plus a pro-Germany fascist member of the English parliament, as well as gangsters from Boston. Plus, he has to navigate all of that in addition to dealing with an ominous diagnosis from his personal doctor.

Now 30 minutes … 20 minutes … oh god, and now that Tommy just learned, which changes everything!!
