Peaky Blinders season 6 spoilers follow. Peaky Blinders is back, but there was a massive piece of the Shelby family missing upon its return – the late, great, Helen McCrory, who played matriarch Aunt Polly. Following the star's death from cancer in April 2021, it was known that somehow Aunt Polly would be written out of the story, with a marked commemoration of the legendary actress' death.
With season six's first episode 'Black Day', Tommy Shelby (Cillian Murphy) returns in the same field we left him in at the end of the fifth instalment – gun to his head, ready to shoot. However, when he pulls the trigger, he finds his gun empty of bullets, and wife Lizzie soon joins him, telling him Arthur (Paul Anderson), fearing the worst, had removed them. Withdrawn and at his lowest moment, Tommy returns to the house, only to get a phone call from IRA member Captain Swing (Charlene McKenna) as a car pulls up.
She takes credit for the foiled assassination attempt against fascist leader Oswald Moseley, telling Tommy that her men were delivering the bodies of those who had lost their lives in the fray. One body was Aberama Gold (Aidan Gillen), one was Tommy's old war pal Barney (Cosmo Jarvis)… and the third was Aunt Polly, who had been killed off-screen as a direct message to Tommy. "We've made changes to the structure of your organisation," Swing tells Shelby.
"You've had a crutch to lean on, we kicked away that crutch. From now on it'll be us you lean on. "She adds that Polly's death was "his own responsibility because he consistently failed to understand his own limitations".
