All six episodes of Season 6 will launch on the streaming service at 12:01AM on June 10 in the U.S. and all markets where Netflix has the show’s rights.

Forget all the drama with the Shelby family down the back streets of Birmingham in BBC One’s Peaky Blinders – this Sunday it’s all about family fights in real-life. Acting brothers Joe Cole and Finn will be competing in a TV ratings war as their mega dramas, Peaky Blinders and new ITV spy thriller Ipcress File go head-to-head. We can only imagine the two of them sitting down in front of the box and fighting over the remote control.

Former Peaky Blinders actor Joe Cole has opened up about his late co-star, Helen McCrory, describing her as a “rare gem.” The 33 year old star, who played John Shelby until series four of the show, appeared on This Morning alongside hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield to discuss his new spy thriller series, The Ipcress File. As he reflected on the impressive cast list for the ITV show, which includes Tom Hollander and Lucy Boynton, he admitted he had always had the pleasure of working with “phenomenal actors and actresses” - especially Cillian Murphy and Helen McCrory on the BBC crime drama, Peaky Blinders.

Peaky Blinders star Annabelle Wallis has reportedly split from boyfriend Chris Pine, according to reports.The couple were first linked in 2018, but have reportedly called time on their relationship “months” ago after keeping their relationship largely secret. A source has claimed that the pair "have broken up and haven't been together for a few months,” according to Entertainment Tonight.

Peaky Blinders star Joe Cole felt like he ‘exhausted’ his character on the popular BBC series, which ultimately led to his exit in 2017. The 33-year-old actor played Tommy Shelby’s (Cillian Murphy) younger brother John in the Birmingham-based drama – which focuses on the famous families’ reign following World War I in 1918. Cole had cameos in Holby City, The Bill, and teen comedy Skins before landing the Peaky Blinders gig in 2013, and although he starred in the popular programme for three seasons, he still doesn’t regret walking away from it five years later.

Peaky Blinders viewers were left in floods of tears as the acclaimed BBC One drama paid a touching tribute to the show’s late star Helen McCrory, who played Aunt Polly. In the opening episode of the sixth and final series, which aired on Sunday 27 February, the show tackled Helen’s absence, following her sad passing last April. And it was an emotional watch for fans when the instalment, which was titled Black Day, saw Tommy Shelby (Cillian Murphy) discover the devastating news that his Aunt Polly had been killed.

The highly-anticipated Season 6 premiere of period gangster epic Peaky Blinders was watched by 3.8 million viewers in the UK on Sunday, according to overnight figures. That makes it the biggest launch for the Shelby clan ever, coming in above the Season 5 debut’s 3.7 million overnight average. It also ties the series record previously set by the Season 5 finale in September 2019. The market share was 21.8% on Sunday with a peak of 4.1 million viewers. The episode faced strong competition from the season finale of ITV drama Trigger Point which ended up winning the 9pm slot.

It is a moment fans have been waiting for - the return of Peaky Blinders.
