“I don’t know where that got out," Byrne told the BBC (via Esquire), "but, yeah, fingers crossed on that.” We haven't heard any more on that front, though, so we're not getting our hopes up.īased on the activity of the show's official Twitter account, other actors confirmed to be entering the fray for season 6 include Rebecca Keatley – who is set for a major change of scenery from her role as a CBeebies presenter – Australian actor James Frecheville and Brits Amber Anderson and Conrad Khan. In a particularly exciting rumor, Julia Roberts has also been tipped to join the show's cast – though it's unclear who she'd play. The Chicago mob boss was referenced at the end of Peaky Blinders' fifth season, so it makes sense that fans had drawn the false conclusion. He also confirmed, on the BBC’s Obsessed With… Peaky Blinders podcast, that Stephen Graham will make an appearance in season 6 – though not as Al Capone, who he played in the similar-but-not-the-same Boardwalk Empire series. It's looking like the murky machinations of the interwar elite will become clearer in the next season, then, but when it comes to Gina, specifically, "there's a lot to be revealed about her next series. Regardless, we do know we'll be meeting more of Gina's family in season 6 – director Anthony Byrne told GQ in August 2019 that, "Gina, and whoever her family are, will make themselves known." “But it was a lot of fun."īut what of Michael's mysterious partner, Gina, played by The Queen's Gambit's Anya Taylor-Joy? Were the scheming couple behind the assassination's failure? Michael's bid to take charge of Shelby Company Ltd certainly raises our suspicions.
I’m done now,” she told Digital Spy in March. We also know Charlie Murphy, who played unionist leader Jessie Eden, won’t be re-appearing in season 6. We do, however, know that Paul Anderson will be returning as Arthur Shelby, as well as Natasha O'Keeffe as Lizzie Stark, after the show confirmed as much on Twitter. Less clear is whether Tom Hardy will reappear as Alfie Solomons, following his miraculous season 5 return after being shot in the head the season before that. Those psychological troubles also triggered the ethereal apparitions of Tommy's dead wife, Grace Shelby, so we'll likely see Annabelle Wallis again, too.
Granted, season 5 ended with the show's main character looking rather distressed in a field with a gun to his head, but we know he'll live to fight another day – especially since we've spotted Murphy in several recent set images. We know, unsurprisingly, that Cillian Murphy is returning as Tommy, too, along with the other usual Shelby suspects. Naturally, that didn't happen, but relaxed restrictions on UK television and film production at the beginning of 2021 meant filming did eventually begin in January this year.
