Peaky Blinders fans have questioned if the season six finale was the last we’ll be seeing of the Shelby family or not. While fans knew the sixth season would be Peaky Blinders’ last, its finale threw a spanner in the works and appeared to leave the storyline open-ended. Frontman Tommy Shelby was diagnosed with tuberculoma earlier on in the series, leading the gangster-turned-politician to prepare for death.

SPOILER ALERT: This post contains details about the series finale of Peaky Blinders…: Before it debuts on Netflix on June 10 in the U.S. and other markets, period gangster epic Peaky Blinders‘ sixth and final season concluded with a feature-length episode on BBC One in the UK tonight. Created by Steven Knight, who cautioned me before the finale to “expect the unexpected,” Peaky went out in top and twisty form with operatic and Godfather-esque flourishes. Since debuting in 2013, and gaining a rabid global fanbase, the Shelby family is meeting its end as a TV series, however, Knight has confirmed that a movie is going to happen — and given how the finale played out, there is still much to explore.

Peaky Blinders viewers were left stunned as they tuned into the latest episode of the hit series. Season six of the BBC One drama began earlier this month and fans are savouring every moment as it is the last outing for the Shelby clan.

Tommy Shelby’s past life might be coming back to haunt him. Tommy’s one night stand with the character Zelda 20 years ago is coming to surface in the Peaky Blinders world.

From the smoke-congested maze of Small Heath's streets to the Aunt Polly's opulent suburban Tudor manor, the locations and properties that have featured in Peaky Blinders have kept fans coming back for more since it first aired in 2013.Though the BBC favourite was initially set in the inky terraces and deprived alleyways of 1919 Birmingham, as the show developed into six fully-fledged and multi award-winning series', the cast have moved to some of the most breathtaking filming locations that the UK has to offer. You may have been thinking – when observing Tommy Shelby angrily storming through the corridors of his illustrious country mansion – how much would some of these impressive or unusual properties cost you in 'today's money'? Well, after consulting with modern day Birmingham-based estate agent Barrows and Forrester, we're here to put you out of your misery...

Peaky Blinders’ sixth and final season will be a feature-length episode.Director Anthony Byrne confirmed the finale runtime is 81 minutes to RadioTimes.com, teasing something “very different” is in store.“It’s such a Peaky thing to do for the last hurrah,” Byrne said. “It’s the 10:22 news for one night only.“It feels very, very different to the rest of the season. It feels very, very different to anything we’ve done before.

SPOILERS AHEAD In the final series of smash-hit BBC drama Peaky Blinders, which is set in the 1920s/30s, main character Tommy Shelby's family has been plagued by tuberculosis.The heartbroken dad lost daughter Ruby to the disease, and in the most recent episode Tommy, who is played by Cillian Murphy, was informed by his doctor that he has tuberculoma in his brain stem.This was caused by close contact with tuberculosis, and is a non-cancerous growth.The doctor informed Tommy that it is inoperable as "any attempt to remove it would result in trauma and brain haemorrhage." He continued, "the rate of physical and mental deterioration will increase," before informing the gang leader that he had 12-18 months to live. The TV show is fictional (although based loosely on a real gang with the same name as its title), but the disease that may cause Tommy's death is very much real.
