Peaky Blinders: Cillian Murphy and co take aim for a final season

As the cast face into their final season, they tell us what's in store, and also pay tribute to their late colleague, Helen McCrory

Cillian Murphy as Tommy Shelby in the final season of Peaky Blinders.

If Peaky Blinders had to be summarised in a single word, that word would be “chaotic” – or so says actress Sophie Rundle. A reflection that comes ahead of the launch of the sixth and final series of the BBC crime drama, the 34-year-old, who plays Shelby sibling Ada Thorne in the show, stifles a laugh as she’s presented with some of the more obscure internet hearsay linked to the forthcoming series.

“Mr Bean in the Peaky Blinders world? I mean, that’s a cameo I think we all want to see,” declares Rundle, referencing one notable rumour from late 2020 which saw Rowan Atkinson purportedly entering the show as Adolf Hitler.
