BBC has finally announced the premiere date for the upcoming sixth and final season of the Peaky Blinders. The popular crime drama is slated to make its long-awaited return on February 27 on BBC One and BBC iPlayer. However, Netflix has yet to set the U.S. debut for the Cillian Murphy-led hit series.
The announcement was done through a newly-released promo, which you can check out below, featuring a cool mural of Murphy’s Tommy Shelby.
